View Full Version : My Miami Review - Presidents Day Weekend
It was cold.
Then it was hot.
I got a sunburn.
I spent alot of money on clothes for WMC and a new pair of sunglasses.
I ate at News Cafe everyday for breakfast and had yogurt, granola, and fruit.
I ate at Sushi Samba one night.
I ate at Touch one night and it was AWESOME!
I didnt go to any clubs.
I rented a condo at the Barbizon through sobeachrentals.com and it was nice.
They have rooms still for WMC if anyones needs.
Im tan.

Nice review!
i was down there for a week.... two weeks ago. and did things i normally dont do when i go down there:
* I actually got off the beach and went to a "local" bar/lounge out in Brickell
* Stayed on my friends yacht... (ok he and his boss rented it for the weekend) . it was sik! triple decker, 3br 4bath , jacuzzi on top deck, complete with a cook that made me breakfast in the morning!!
* got to the slip the 2001 patriots super bowl ring on my finger for a couple minutes, not gonna lie... this may hve been my highlight (as i am a big Pats fan) :heart
* was home by 1:30 on saturday bc we didnt want to go down to the beach to compete with the chaos (some other friends did and they really were charging 10.000 a table at Set, Suite, and Cameo!)
* got up early to go for a mroning run on the beach
* hoofed it up to Aventura Mall (as well as Bal Harbour and of course sobe) but oddly didnt find anything... :hmmm
* watched the SuperBowl at some Mansion party but i think i was the only one actually watching the game.
* went on a date , :shuffle actually two.
btw, Touch is amazing! i actually like that place better than Barton G's!
its nice to actually get away and have a relaxing vacation. i came back to work and was pumped.. that glow lasted about 10 minutes before i felt like:wallbang

Wow that menu looks delish. I never get to experience any of the really nice restaurants when I'm down there. I need to make a non-WMC visit where I will have more of an apetite!

the key is to go to these places in the beg. of the trip...
I already told Deniz we are going to some of these place first few days. Because I know towards the end of the trip we will be too shot

mmm Touch :heart :heart
Best seared tuna (pepper crusted) ive ever had!
If you goto touch, the appetizer to get is:
Mango Induced Foie-Gras
seared canadian foie-gras a-top crispy coconut fried pineapple, sour mango sauce finished with dried mango
It was out of this world.............I had the tuna too......but I remember a couple of the girls got:
Prime Black Angus Filet
center cut angus tenderloin char-grilled with foie-gras, mushroom, potato croquette, parmesan rosemary crisp, grilled asparagus and a melted boursin complex butter
And I'm pretty sure one or two of them was foaming out the mouth, and I might have seen someone get shanked for a piece......but I'm pretty sure all lush,sodeeva,dagabbana&sexncandie will all tell you it's one of the best things they've ate..........if they remember any of it lol
