how much cheaper is this liqour depot than a regular store? address? |
It is a lot cheaper because it is not in Miami Beach. Not sure of the address, it is in Kendall on the way to all the big stores. I just know which way to drive. I am sure a local will know the address to list. Even if you just go to a SoBe store, it will still be less then an event. |

6 pages and not a mention of Joe's Stonecrab? that's the first place I go when I land because we all know we aren't eating much after that first meal.
Lobster Reuben, Rice Pilaf, Crab Cakes game on
It's on Washington by Nikki Beach, go to Take Away if you don't want to wait 2hrs to be seated.

SoBe Diet, fruit smoothies all day..the only thing that I could consume. |

Just thought I'd chip in -
Puerto Sagua is gangsta , although popular and often packed.
T-Mex is good those who said so were right.
Cheeseburger Baby over on Washington is good and greasy, and the fries are pretty badass.
Cafe Nexxt over on the Lincoln Road Mall - you'll pay $9 for a salad, but you'll get what you pay for, I promise.
I like Tapas Y Tintos over on Espanola. Authentic staff, and really good authentic tapas.
As far as drinks, they are expensive but just as a barometer - Mansion charges $6 for a bottle of water (it is Evian, but what the ?), so you can guess how much they charge for everything else.
Nikki charges $8 for a Dos XX or a Presidente and $12 for a Jack&Coke.
I just bring a couple of bottles in my checked baggage, that way I can use my own stash instead of having to buy more bottles when I get there.
Also, if you're into extracurriculars, I recommend getting them there somehow yourself (it's not as difficult as one would think), I'll just say I "heard" from somebody that coke is twice as much as it is in my hometown. |

I would think any liquor store will be alot cheaper than buying in clubs, bars, etc..
I am going to go to to the closest one to my hotel to save time and I am not sure if you can bring that stuff on a bus so I need to be able to walk it back.
Shopping list to start off:
3 bottles of vodka
1 rum
1 tequila
3 12 packs of diet soda |

| Clarke's on 1st and Alton is a good Irish pub with the fire burgers and shepherd's pie. |

You're fine bringing un-opened purchases on the bus.
On a sidenote, Gatorade is always a must for me. Drink em after the clubs, and then save the bottles for mixtures next time around. Perfect for the cab/bus/walk to the party. |

I am so bad with remembering the name. You know the road to Kendall? Like you are driving from downtown to get there, it is a big road with a divider at some places. I will ask someone for the name before and tell you. If you have a car it is worth it. |

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 |

Emergen-C is WAY better than Gatorade...
but Emergen-C + Gatorade is the way to go. I can't recommend this enough! My g/f and I go through at least a box every year. |
