Guys, I'm from Northern New Jersey and planning on goin down for the Jills game Dec. 4th. I've been to probably 15 games at the Meadowlands (Including when they play the Giants), but never made it down to Miami. What's the best way for me to get good tickets/seats? Also what should I do on the saturday before (since the Canes aren't playing)? Good reastaurants? Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
 
I hear there are some first class "Gentleman" clubs there....I hope I can take in a game in Miami....every Dolphin fan has to see one game there in their liftetime....kind of like the Muslims have to make their one trip to Mecca. :)
 
Just go down to Lincoln Road for food. You will find every type of food you can imagine, from almost every culture. Every place has outdoor seating... and the, uh, "view" is usually nothing short of amazing.

We usually stay on Collins Ave., somewhere close to Lincoln, so we can walk there. Try the Richmond or the South Seas. Both have good locations, decent rooms, free breakfast, are direct on the ocean, and are easy on the wallet.

For tix, try eBay, stubhub, or ticketsnow.

Enjoy... I may just see you down there. I haven't picked my home game yet.
 
I can't believe this :yell: the browser said I specified an invalid thread and I just lost a whole laundry list of great places! Second time in two days with long posts.

Here we go again. I have to state at the start that I don't eat unkosher food anymore, it's a religious requirement for me to say so, but if you're going to be in Miami, then I highly recommend that you partake of Latin food.

Cuban: in south Beach, Puerto Sagua, corner of Collins and 7th. Close to city center, El Pub on Flagler in Little Havana, La Esquina de Tejas and Versailles on 8th street, or Islas Canarias on NW 27 Avenue. For sandwiches: Latin American Cafeteria. The flagship is a former Arby's on Coral Way.

Haitian (my favorite Caribbean): Tap-Tap on 5th Street in south Beach, Chez Moy on NW 27 Avenue in Little Haiti.

Jamaican: there are several good ones on 163 Street.

Puerto Rican: there's an okay place called Puerto Rico Restaurant, I think on NW 27 Avenue.

Nicaraguan (great steaks): Los Ranchos, there's one in Bayside. They have two-for-one specials at off-peak hours

Colombian: Patacon Pisao, there used to be one on Collins in the 70's range, but I don't think it's there anymore. There's another one in the city center with a good reputation called, I think, Monte...something.

Peruvian (masters of ceviche): there's a good one called El Chalan, corner of Washington and I think 14th. I like their Pescado Sudado.

Brazilian: there are several scattered around downtown and they're noted for there buffets. Take note, even though the sign may say "all you can eat, it's really more like "all you can pile on your plate at one time." There are a couple more that I haven't tried that are pricy, one called Rio on Washington near 17th and a couple in South Miami on Sunset Drive. It may be worth the price because unlike the downtown places, they serve a Bahian dish called Moqueca, a stew of seafood, peppers, coconut, and dende oil. I ate it once in Salvador, it's delicious.

Argentinian (the best at steak in the world, if they knew how to run an economy like they know how to cook meat, Argentina would be the richest country on earth): an Argentinian friend of mine likes a place called Primi Pasta on Collins somewhere up north, but there are several more on south Beach.

Congrats on your religious fortitude, but how ya gonna give up so much great food :) GO Fins and all gods are equal right!
 
It wasn't easy, but a lot of the cuisines can be prepared kosher, excepting many dishes, of course,

For Argentinian, there's a place called La Parillada Argentina on Bird Road and 84th that is awesome. Best steaks in the world!
 
Also for Spanish (European): there's Casa Juancho and Malaga both on SW 8 Street.

There's also the nascent Miami cuisine, which uses tropical fruits and vegetables. That includes Yuca on Lincoln Road and I believe Emeril's new restaurant in the Loews Hotel which are expensive.
 
Great information! I have one question though, what means of travel do you guys use to get to the Stadium?

:) that will be my first trip from WV to Miami too. A few buds and I are excited to finally make the journey to Dolphins Mecca!!!

Also, thanks for the food options Miamian!
 
Also partake in some seafood down here, like a nice crunchy grouper sandwich. If you stay in south beach you will get good food almost anywhere.
