i’m looking for a house to stay for vaction in north miami if any body knows please let me know.
don’t know of anything but i can’t resist asking: you DO know how to spell “tierd,” right???
not everyone is a teacher and cares about spelling as much as you
Look in the Yated classified, there are always rental options… what neighborhood are you looking for… there are nice neighborhoods through out but depends on what you want. Major tourist attractions are Miami Beach. North Miami Beach has a beacutiful Torah Community also and may be cheaper… Be careful though if you are staying in hotels you may be exposed to lots of pritzus (dont know what you’re concerns are but consider yourself warned in advance) You are better off finding a house in the communities then staying on collins by the hotels but do your research and make your decisions. There are also some nice ppl that love doing hachnasas orchim and you can contact the rabbanim there to find out abt who they are. Enjoy!!!
nice try qwertyuiop, but i teach in the mornings. ivrit be’ivrit so there’s no english spelling involved :}
oops my bad IM SORRY brook
Miami is the best place to stay in Florida for simplicity sake. Kosher food for one thing, my idea of vacation is not bringing along tuna fish cans…I know some pple tht try diff places in Florida and bring along tuna, mayo, crackers, oranges…might as well go for a picnic!
north miami beach is a ‘normal neighborhood’ you won’t be getting ‘beach excitement’ there lol . the good point is you wont be cold and there are restaurants and parks and stuff. i think it’s very nice!
Is there a kollel in north miami beach?
yes there is a kollel, and a yeshivah
TURNBERRY!!!!!!
Turnberry’s for old people
turnberrys for syrians actually. so yaaaaa i loove it and im not old!
Any ideas of things to do while in miami?
Are u going with kids?
Parrot jungle, wanna do city, beach…
You could always frequent the Yeshiva in NMB. It’s called Yeshiva Toras Chaim. It’s a Chofetz Chaim branch with around fifty in the Bais Medrash and around 90 in the high school.
🙂
Thanks just smile the only problem is that I’m a girl so I probably won’t be too welcome there! I’m not going with kids but I need some ideas besides for the beach
Any hotel on Ocean Drive is a good place to stay.
dunno – kayaking, canoeing, jetskiing, speed boating, swimming, snorkeling, running on the boardwalk, biking, spa, bowling, eat out… Is that enough?
My advice would be to stay inside with the shades drawn until your flight back.
curious- need a partner for extracurricular?
squeak- lol lol lol lol lol…. somebody stop this thing
need a partner for extracurricular?
I need a partner for life, not for extracurricular. 🙂
Though yes I do manage to have a grand time when I go on vacation. And even when I’m not on vacation I can stir up fun one day or half-day trips. Just need to have another fun-loving friend.
thanks curious! now i just need to know which places to go to for eating out, bowling, the spa, etc…
eating out- sina seeta (no clue howda spell that thing, but if i recall correctly it’s located in belle harbor- fleishig)
curious- don’t sound so desperate, especially not to THE SHADCHAN, not good for the resume. question- do you want a boy/guy/bachur/man that goes jetskiing with his wife?
just a question, i’m not judging
Dunno: go out to eat in water works!!
Arievem: what’s wrong with jet skiing with ur wife?!?! If my husband wouldn’t go jet skiing with me…..that’s just weird
syrian- read carefully before exploding
areivim – I clearly said I want a partner for life, not for extracurricular. Go back and read my post. Now are we clear? Good. And yes, I think jetskiing would be a great first date 😉
Besides, how can you boast of being shadchan with your zero success rate, thus far?
curious- amazing how you took my post further than was intended. don’t get so excited next time, and take what’s written at face value unless advised otherwise
btw- who ever said the title THE SHADCHAN only refers to the CR?
Areivem 1. I did 2. I wasn’t ‘exploading’
areivim – there was no element of excitement there. Did you notice the 😉 at the end of my sentence? Besides, if my post would’ve been serious I wouldn’t have said that jetskiing is a good first date. I don’t think that would fly anywhere.
ok curious- you win, let’s not fight (try this post on for size)
Haha, I’m too busy fighting on the weather thread to deal with this fight… 🙂
NMB is a warm community and has nice shuls and weekly shiurim (for women too) kosher restaurants, pizza and bakeries. Has a cool canal/river running right alongside the frum community (its in the eruv too). Beautiful & scenic path for wallking/running/biking.
Miami can easily feel crowded- as if your in NY – by the amount of frum people here. It’s a quick drive to the beach from NMB or a bus ride.
Curious pretty much nailed it with cool activities.
To add a few more –
– Waterskiing, kiteboarding, beach scooter (motorcycle) rental. Not cheap.
-Best Bike/kayak rental prices are at Blue Moon Miami (google it) in Oleta River State Park (right near North Miami Beach)
-Biscayne Bay has cool boat tours @ Bayside Marketplace Marina – speed & sail boat & ‘pirate’ ship tours. 1-2 hours long. Google the marina – call their # for boat ride info.
– check out floridastateparks.org
-Miami Metro Zoo – get around by 2 person bike, trolley and monorail. Lots of cool tours, activities and exhibits. Miamimetrozoo.com
-Parrot Jungle
-Seaquarium (aquarium)
-a butterfly sanctuary – butterlyworld.com
-Miami Botanic Garden – mbgarden.org
-Fairchild Tropical Garden – fairchildgarden.org

does anyone know if & where the chinesse guy from kikar tev aviv north in the country, has his restraunt in florida???
my vote of the best thing to do in Miami is sta inside and enjoy the heavy duty AC! No joke!
Dont forget to go for chalav yisrael Ice cream in Hollywood (10 min from NMB)
be sure to tak a walk outside- you’ll find all kind of interesting looking creatures. Sounds weird, but if yougo to the canal in NMB at the right time of day and drop bread crumbs… a TON of birds from a different world come around you to get the bread…. mamish a sight!
Ashreinu – come back up to the cold and we’ll do something fun one day.
does anyone know if & where the chinesse guy from kikar tel aviv north in the country, has his restraunt in florida??? the chinesse guy actually speaks fluent hebrew, because he owns a resterant in tel aviv israel!!! anyone ever eat at thr one in the country???
Shkoyach – Your’e right. I’ve seen some cool exotic looking birds on my runs by the canal. (oops, just gave away my location. Actually, I can be 1 in 800 pple here) Also, there are Geckos hanging in the trees, you gotta look to find them.
Curious – looking forward, IyH!
