NIGHTLIFE:
Wanna go out? Well, I don't really. But
you are just visiting, so Mike's at Venetia Restaurant and Irish
Pub (555 NE 15th St.) is right up on the Venetian causeway for a
drinky hideaway and pool playing. PS14 (28 NE 14th St.) is
a local joint that I never go to but lots of locals do, and the
White Room (1306 N. Miami Ave.) is the spot for nighttime
sweaty dance adventures. If you want to feel gross or be a hooker, go to
the Mac's Club Deuce (222 14th St.) -- it's just shitty
and no one asks any questions, but its prolly the place you can get into
on South Beach without being scoffed at by some jive turkey. I like the
swimming pool at The Standard (40 Island Ave.) and the Spa
there is pretty delightful.
SHOPPING:
The best shop is a little kids' design
headquarters called Genius Jones (49 NE 39th St.). And of
course, I must plug our magical playground at Aventura
Mall (19501 Biscayne Blvd.) called Rainbow Valley
as one of the most magical spots in town. If you make the drive north
and you are a nerdy kinda comic lover like me, then go to Tate's
Comics (4566 N. University Dr., Lauderhill). I don't care if you
think that it's stupid.
ART:
Best gallery in town is Emmanuel
Perrotin (194 NW 30th St.). They show Murakami, Mr., Gelitin and
some of our local favorites. I think they really rock it out so nicely.
But more than any place you can visit, the thing that makes Miami so
great is us! That's right -- we will hug and kiss you and if you are
lucky, you can have an orgy with a white fox (*someone three times the
age of a MILF), a refugee and P-Diddy all before breakfast. Really
though, the best times are with friends and being outside. These winter
months are the only ones you can escape sweating if you are lucky, but
we don't care -- we call that Swass Juice. Come to Miami and make all
your dreams come true. We'll be right here waiting for you.
