South Beach: your real opinion please
I will be going to Palm Beach soon. Is it worth it to drive to South Beach for the day? Some say it ultra coll and some have told me it is seedy with tatoo joints and not so nice. If you have been there please tell me. Thanks.
|
I heard it is tacky, very tacky but have never been.
|
Don't waste your time. Go to Boca Raton.
|
Never been there. Seems crowded--where do you park? No big hotels there either--some hole in the wall places????
|
Florida is over run with old people and tourists. I think South Beach reflects this. Too many wannabes.
|
Anyone who says Sobe is not hip, has NO clue whatsoever, probably has never been there, or is dialed in from their geriatrics ward.<BR><BR>South beach is not called the American Riviera for nothing. It is the best place in the US to go and have fun, if you like the clubbing scene, fine dining in the so called "jet set" crowd.<BR><BR>If you like clubbing, ultra cool bars and hotels, then this is THE place. It is not for the (and you know the type I'm talking about) old geezer/geezer acting protentious type that sits around and comments about every person who walks by "ohh did you see that Harold, doesn't she know that you don't wear beige after labor day!". <BR><BR>It is loud, none stop dancing, a total microcosm of society of ALL ages all races, all having fun.<BR><BR>if your the stuck up type who likes dark restaurants, or just plain cheap, or your a prude....then Sobe is not for you. This is the Versace crowd NOT the Polo crowd!<BR><BR>Granted it is a bit plastic, a little like LA where being fit, style, and cars are important.<BR><BR>It is not cheap but some of the hotels are on sale now, and drinks are equal to Manhatten prices, music has everything from Jazz, Salsa, R&B to the best Trance, Dance and Progressive you will ever here this side of Ibiza!<BR><BR>Check this site out to get a better look.<BR><BR>www.oceandrive.com

Can you say "Eurotrash"?
|
Your too funny....whats wrong...they didn't let you in the clubs...booo hooo hooo!!<BR><BR>Because you are so misinformed, the Miami is a melting pot of every nationality in the world and recently voted as the # 1 party place for vacation.<BR><BR>
|
Who voted Miami the number one party sport? The geriatric society of America?
|
Miami is a superficial haunt of the very rich who have exploited and pilfered their native countries and have fled to the U.S.. It is also a cesspool teeming with the very poor who suffered under the despots remaining in those other countries and who will risk life and limb seeking asylum here. All flash and all trash pretty much sums it up.

Dear Sync,<BR>I travel to Palm Beach almost yearly and I once went to South Beach for the day. Yes, it is worth it. The art deco is something in itself to admire, and it certainly is fun to people watch. {I saw a really hot guy and girl posing/modeling for pictures while on a motorcycle, practicly naked!} I am not typically a 'club' type of person, and I am certainly not one who wants to wait until the party begins at 2:00 AM. But I encourage you to go and check it out for yourself... you will never know if you like South Beach if you never visit the area. I would like to return there someday, it's just that I am quite amused by other areas of Florida which appeal to my tastes more.<BR><BR>Happy Trails,<BR>Paul

Jealous perhaps that you do not have the means to enjoy the scene???<BR><BR>Something happened to you....I feel sorry for you and all your anger! If you don't like it, then don't go, but don't ruin someone elses fun, especially with such lies.<BR><BR>I'm sure if Fadors insisted on proper registration, people like you would not be so rude. <BR><BR>And for every incident that you ever came across where you felt you did not fit in, I will show you 10 in Boca or Cape Cod.<BR><BR><BR><BR>
|
Paul,<BR><BR>Well said....I lived there for 10 years, and I had the most fun of my entire life. It is probably not a place you will want to live permanently, but if your an open minded type of person that likes to have crazy fun then it is a must do.<BR><BR>As for your comments about Art Deco, it gets better every year. The entire Sobe area is the process of renewal.<BR><BR>

My angry young David, what does thou mouth spout about?
|
I dont know... I've known 3 people who ended up in South Beach and all of them have never seemed happier, despite the humidity. My former neighbors are from there and seem to miss it. I always thought of South Beach as an art deco New Orleans.
|
If you like singles bars desperate under dressed people, you will love SoBe.
|
I agree with the last post, I used to live there. Meaby 8 years ago it was a bit of a trashy, eurotrash place, but not any more.<BR><BR>Your analogy to New Orleans is a good one. <BR><BR>South Beach is almost unrecognizable from 4 years ago. It is a fun place, very trendy and the women are beautiful!<BR><BR>Probably one of the more exciting, and exotic places togo in the US.<BR><BR>If your not the Ibiza type though, and are tight with your wallet, then you probably will want to pass.<BR><BR>If you do go, make sure you go for a drink at the Delano hotel! Absolutely amazing, it is one of Ian Schrager's hotels...ultra chic, and very sexy, very miami.<BR><BR>
|
Am amazed by people who have strong negative options of South Beach, but have never actually been there.<BR><BR>I happen to love it. Lots of trendy, newly renovated restaurants, clubs, bars and shops. Lots of beautiful young people in fabulous clothes. Lots of new money. <BR><BR>If you find yourself in a rundown area with tatoo joints, you aren't in South Beach.
|
Ya but don't worry about them, I know their type, in fact I have a friend who has the same opinion<BR><BR>Only problem is, that he is what you call a "stick in the mud" and who's idea of fun is sitting in a pretencious stuffy quite restaurant.<BR><BR>Unfortunately these are also the people that after time passes, they become (see above neg comments) more and more miserable thnking of how life has passes them by.<BR><BR>In the meantime, their wives are miserable too because the old codjer hasn't been any fun since the Eisenhower election party!<BR><BR>Very sad !!!!<BR><BR>Well see ya...time to go out to one of those trendy, noisy, flashy sobe bars with all those bad young beautiful girls!....beddie bye time for you!

There is no one who likes South Beach who could have a "real" opinion, just a fake one like their breasts, nose, and butt.
