Miami Beach, in particular the South Beach area, is famous for its fabulous Art Deco architecture. The district is covered in deco hotel after deco hotel. If you are a fan of the genre like me, then you won't be disappointed!
Curved walls, neon signs, canopy porches and the like are everywhere.
We spent a lot of time photographing buildings on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue, trying to capture the perfect blue sky shots and then night time ones with the fabulous neon signage.
Some buildings to check out are: the Miami Beach Post Office (1300 Washington Avenue); Jerry's Famous Deli (1450 Collins Avenue); The Leslie Hotel (1244 Ocean Drive); and The Carlyle Hotel (826 Ocean Drive).
Pop into the Art Deco Welcome Centre at 1001 Ocean Drive to find out a little more about the Art Deco district and pick up the obligatory souvenirs. If you are interested you can book in to participate in a walking tour from here.

 Best bar in South Beach by mehbos37
For example in South Beach the scene is like this:
Tourists rush straight to Oceandrive where they enjoy -piazza- .There are decent clubs and bars too ,but the vast majority is very ordinary tourist attractions..
Tourists love News Cafe and Wet Willies,Tropicana,All Star cafe and other stuff..
Locals who accidentaly choose Oceandrive for a change head to Clevelander's for a happy hour and making fun of tourists..They go to Fat Tuesday only on Tuesdays..
In fact most of the favourite clubs and bars are located on Washington Avenue...
Living Room is one of my favourites.Very elegant atmosphere,nice european house music and many beautiful people inside.Celebrities who owns houses in Miami regularly go there.You need to have a local partner to get in.
Liquid is an elegant club where you find decent local people who likes house music..Monday is the best night.
My favourite bar is MARLIN...It belongs to the hotel MARLIN on Collins 7. street.There,you can see the most elegant Afro-american concept in U.S.A. Beautiful atmosphere,mellow tunes and the hottest black women...
I can say one good thing about Wet Willies before I forgot: The frozens,daiquiris are very delcious and dangerous.I am a good drinker myself,but when I have 2 shots of -attitude improvement and a shot of -call a cab- I instantly passed out:)
More to come...later..
My friend Semih was dating a black woman and they arranged a dinner for me including her sister and them.We had a superb dinner,then headed to Marlin.And when they felt like we have the black man's spirit they offered to go to Salvation..
At first we were scared a bit realizing it is not a friendly area but I suddenly felt relieved when I met a lesbian duo while waiting in the queue.Not sooner than five minutes, I was inside ,dancing wildly among the 400 black people crowd..One of the lesbians,Natasha was a sweet lawyer who turned out to enyoy my accompany more than her gf.And they had a funny fight..Unfortunately they left.
The sister,Lisa then gave nude poses to a men magazine kept me dancing for hours in front of black men with looking almost in disbelief..
I felt like a lucky bro...indeed. Leave a Comment

This Sand Castle was 6 weeks old and still going! There was a guard there to protect it. Apparently they light it up at night! Leave a Comment
