Miami in September for a week

[bigbaddom]

Ok everyone.
I am going with my girlfriend for a week in the beggining of September...
We are staying at Riviera South Beach.
Can anyone recommend things to do, bearing in mind we wont have a huge amount of time.
I wasnt going to hire a car.

What are the best bits? and the best places to eat!!

Thanks

Would you like me to be brutally honest?

I booked a holiday for two weeks in Miami, and ended up relocating to Orlando after 5 days.

If you're not into the late night club scene, or just hanging around the beach, there really isn't much there to do. Downtown Miami is a hovel.

Drive down to the Florida Keys by all means, and visit the Aquariam, after that, you'll be struggling.

Do rent a car - cheap as chips and you will save taxi money - taxis are very expensive.

Most of the restaurants along the strip in south beach are st.

But, DEFINITELY have a few drinks in Mango's one evening.


Best SB restaurants- Joe's Stone Crabs (but you might have missed the season)
- Texas de Brazil,esp on a Thursday night which is when all the Brazilian models go. If you have never been to a Brazilian churrascaria before and like meat this is a must do.

Shopping - the Dolphin Mall or (further away) Sawgrass Mall, both are outlet malls and very good.


September is not a bad time to go(apart from Joes being closedI think).
