In Sobe, Taco Rico is better than Lime (a little greasier though). Both are on Alton Rd. You can't beat it for Tex-Mex in that price range.

Sushi Siam or Yummy Chinese & Sushi Bar are both great places to have sushi in Sobe without spending ridiculous money. If you want that, go to Sushi Samba.

If you are going to Little Havana, La Carreta is down the street from Versailles and I think has hands-down better food (no bakery though) for the same price. I've eaten at both many times.

Cve-Che was pretty decent when I ate there for the first time recently...

AVOID JERRYS FAMOUS DINER LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Oh, if you are willing to drive to Kendall (WTF?) to save money on alcohol, just go to Total Wine in North Miami on Biscayne Blvd and save a few precious of hours of dealing with tolls and traffic during your WMC stay.

I never used a toll on the way to Kendall. Also, the TAs that have been in our car can attest to the insanity of how fast we drive so it isn't a big trip. But your place is a lot closer, we'll stop by. He will be happy because it is close to Bissaleh lol.

I found that while searching, should be a good place for a meal at any time. very close to my place.

made a map for myself, if anyone wants to see it I will post it up.

moved map to page 1 so more people can see it.

We're renting an apartment with a kitchen, it's a good way to save $$$. Unfortunately can't afford to eat out with most of our funds going on flights, rent, event tickets (and of course the extra stuff that goes along with WMC

We're on Collins Ave, up near 9th. Any suggestions for cheap alcohol and supermarkets around there would be appreciated

I've heard these people deliver and have good prices:

Gulf Liquors
1681 Alton Rd.
Miami Beach, FL 33139
305-531-5551
www.altonroadliquors.com

Just FYI...


Sobe stops selling alcohol at any locations except bars & night clubs at midnight. So word to the wise stock up when u arrive to your hotel with plenty of alcohol.

Also buy those big 16 oz red dixie cups & have extra plastic bottles of water or soda or even gatorade to fill up with liqour. When you leave your hotel you leave with a full dixie cup of liquor & a plastic bottle full to replenish your drink while you are on your way to a club (in a taxi) or walking to a pool part on sobe.

Or buy a super size drink from subway, BK or any food place that has those big plastic cups. Keep a few on hand so you have a bigger cup to travel with. When your done throw it away & buy another one if yo need to if not use another one you may have back at your hotel for another day when heading out to a party.

dunno if its changed in the last few years but it used to be 11pm not midnight. i always buy my alcohol during the day like a real alcoholic should so i really dont know.

now that you mentioned burger king, the new one opening on washington and 12th right across the street from the police station and that famous diner, is going to sell beer.

Is it legal to drink on the street in Miami?

no. just use a burger king cup or a gatorade bottle or something and you'll be fine though.

Just thought I would post up some websites of some of the places on the map I posted.

I got very hungry.

posted them on page 1 so more people can see them.

huh, I didn't know there was a five guys in South beach. That may well serve me better than pizza for a grease craving some day.

nice 5 guys burgers! Had them for the first time doing a drive through Utah. Really good imo. Never paid attention to it before. never had fatburger to compare it to though. But 5 guys imo is better than in and out and johnny rockets

Go to Clarke's for a good burger and fresh cut fries. 1st and Alton.

Barbecue Beach on 16th and Washington has good bbq food.

Mmm Fatburger. Had a coworker that used to get a Double Kingburger with an egg on top and a fat-fry. Dude was skinny as hell too.

yeah probably one of those with the super fast metabolism or just works out alot. I can eat alot now since I am in shape and work out alot, so its calories in vs. calories burnt for the most part. before I over ate the bad stuff (calorie dense with loads of fats and carbs) and hardly worked out, and would only eat 3 times a day now I know what I am doing and also eating every few hours (6-8 times a day) really helps my metabolism speed up and stay fast; lost over 50 pounds now and been keeping it off for 1+ year

Bold statement. I may have to take that Pepsi challenge.

thanks I did not even search bbq places, thanks.

I updated my links and map with a few others.

5 guys is decent around here, but I want to try other places.

i had 5 guys burgers once and it was really good - though i may have been pretty damn hungry. Was 2 years ago and forgot its name till i saw the links posted. And it was massive there - like 4 times the size of a normal fast food joint. Maybe if i have it again it wont be as great or its based on location. But yea, heard fatburger is amazing. Will try both and see if i still like 5 guys burgers.

Oh and for the diner i think 11th st - the classic shaped long one - get the french toast - YUM!

I didnt want to intrude on your map so I really just made that one for myself. Just wanted to strictly do one for food, I hope that was ok.

no problemo...

Can anyone recommend any good vegan options? I'm not myself but I have a friend coming who is, and we had a hard time finding stuff for her to eat last year.

There seems to be a few in downtown Miami and a few in SoBe, according to google, not sure if they are good, never been to Miami before.

Downtown ones:

Originally posted by stepotts Does anyone know of a decent vegetarian or vegetarian-friendly restaurants around SoBe? It is mine and my GFs 1 year anniversary on the Sunday of the Conference, and I'm looking to get a table somewhere nice, and (unfortunately ) she is a veggie, which cuts down the options. As I have no idea about restaurants in Miami, especially veggie ones, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

oh you couldnt be more wrong about cutting down options in SoBe. The place is vegetarian heaven...tons of fresh fruit, smoothies, fresh mozz/basil/tomato sandwiches, sushi, thai food, italian food, etc.
tons of falafel places (theres an awesome Kosher hole in the wall that makes ridiculous falafel hummos wraps down off ocean and 4th i wanna say)
Sushi Express on Washington is great late night for veggie-ville sushi plate and tofu squares. get all the protein and veggies you need without feeling too full--i always grab one on my way to the afterhours parties thurs/fri

It depends what kinda vegetarian she is...if she likes exotic or like boring pasta dishes.
I eat like a champ when I'm there and feel SO healthy compared to home and I've been a veg my entire life!

My personal favorite and MUST-HAVE is the Chilaquiles breakfast at Oh Mexico on the corner of Espanola Way...i alternate btwn the red sauce and the green, but i swear, thats all you need to go go go go all day after that!
