if you go one block over from your hotel to collins, there's a little cuban coffee place with a sidewalk takeout window. it's like rocket fuel.

thx calles, i'll tell my parents to check it out. they used to go to el rincon argentino on coral way (dunno if it's still there) but were looking for a place on the beach

Thanks! My girlfriend will love knowing someone has already found the best place for my crutch, as she says. Calls me an addict, I tell her at least it's not LSD.

Hey mg33...CALLES definitely knows his shit, but I'm from the Miami Beach area too, although I'm living in LA now.
The boutique hotels are really nice and chill, but it all depends on your price range.
I always tell friends to check out the Marriott Courtyard. It's on 14th and Washington, right where you want to be.
It's on the same block as Espanola Way, which is a very Italian looking street. Go get dinner at Hosteria Romana and tell Marco I say hi. He's the big fat dude yelling in Italian at the chicks.
For sushi, some of those places you see in the mags are hip and cool, but way pricey and not terrific. For sushi head to 15th and Collins for Sushi Rock Cafe. I miss that place so much. So freaking good.
Joe's Stone Crab is incredible too if you've never been, but go at a really off time or just do take out and sit on the beach, otherwise you'll have a 3 hour wait.
And if you just want good raw bar seafood, head to Monty's Raw Bar (on 1st St.) and go for happy hour where everything is rediculously cheap. Stone crabs are like a buck or two a piece. Oysters are like 50¢. Something like that.
And for low key hangouts, if you end up staying at the Standard hotel, you can walk to Purdy Lounge (a real locals place) and Joe Allen's restaurant. Also good.
You won't be seeing much coke or Tony Montana, but if you end up at Purdy Lounge ask to see the Scarface room.
Shoot your questions over this way and I'm sure CALLES or I can help ya out. I agree with all his suggestions so far.

F...it's this weekend. I didn't read all the threads...where are you staying?
Anyway, check out my suggestions for food and drinks.
Shore Club is awesome as a hang out but a bitch to get into. Delano is still a fun place, almost as cool as the Shore Club, and no lines or waits. Awesome sushi bar there too but pricey.
