What do you wear at night in South Beach?|137998

My husband and I are going for the weekend at the start of December. We are planning to go out to eat and then go out to bars afterward. We will not be going to dance clubs. I_m 27, so I_m not trying to look like a teenager, either. How much do people dress up? What type of dress is appropriate? Also, any restaurant recommendations? Thanks!

i just came back on the 8th from miami and i got to say that south beach and all miami for that matter is all about how you look like. girls dress up in heels and dresses just to go to a shopping mall. so my advice is: the more you dress up the more you will fit in. try to keep it sexy too. a red halter dress or anything mini is definitely south beach.
as for recommendations to were to eat. any restaurant that is in Lincoln road is great (beware because all of the hostess will try to lure you into their restaurants with some type of 30% of your bill, free drinks, free appetizer then you get your bill and they charge you regular) also anything that is in espanola way (is like a big block of restaurants and little boutiques)its so pretty and romantic and you feel like you_re in this old 1930_s spanish town. also ocean drive has pretty food (but again they have those hostess that try to lure you)
also you and your husband should take a duck boat tour. its so much fun. its a land and water tour. they take you on a tour of all south beach(ocean drive, collins ave, washington ave, Lincoln road, and espanola way) then they take you on a tour of downtown miami. then they take you to see famous celebrities mansions on biscayne bay aka _star island_ or _millionaires row_

south beach is all about what you wear and what you look like, unfortunately. The bars are like nightclubs you have to be killer dressed to get in or look good. Most trendy places have you stand outside and they pick you to go in otherwise they wont let you in. For food i suggest prime 112 but good luck getting a table call now if you can. Otherwise try Casa Tua or Pelican Cafe on Ocean. For bars try Gansvort rooftop lounge or skybar. Hotel I like Pelican also because of the unique themed rooms check out their website, they are owned by Diesel jeans

I went 4th of july weekend... and i_m 25...most of the club hoppers were the ones who dressed up and wore heels.. and your feet will hurt!!!! (my friends walked to ocean drive so they wore cute flats) and dresses. the ones who just went to eat and went to bars they dressed a little more casual... many people wore flip flops cuz there is alot of walking, and wore jeans, or cute shorts and a nice dressy top. If it was me i would dress up at either place. To me Miami is more of a dress to impress type city day or night time. You dot have to be flashy just dress nice. Yeah the eating places are outside if you_re on south beach. and yes you get waited outside its really niceee!! Dress up!!

you should wear a dress... or something sparkly miami style is way behind places like nyc so things u might think are tacky are totally normal down there think cavavlli meets american apparel super tight and flashy. Everyone looks alot younger than they are esp the females so i dont think u have to worry about looking like teenager either. I would say a bebe dress does the job good. Personally I think the best restaurants in SOBE are Bondstreet (japanese), Prime 112 (make ur res early but great food and portions), Mr Chow (awesome chinese again u need a reservation in advance), and The forge (truns into a club on Wed, and sun nights great food and party). Barton G and Casa Tua are also good...Have fun !!

Any advice on getting used to living in New York City?|150601

My friend is planning on moving there,next year for college.
She has visited many times and loves it there.
I can_t relate to her because I have never lived there.

So does anyone have advice on getting used to living in New York City?

Thanks!

Coming from someone who lived in Florida for the first 20 years of their life, moving to NY was an experience I could never have expected. I have been here now going on 5 years.

Don_t get me wrong, I do love NY, but what a culture-shock!
The fast-paced impatience of life, the different ethnicities of it_s people, the deep pride from the natives of their own city.

It was hard to adjust.

People are too busy to care about the little insignificancies, and everyone is in a rush to get to where they got to go! You walk down the street and you find people looking down to avoid contact, they don_t say hello.... I would imagine this to be common in many big cities... :\ People can be cold and rude!

My advice? Take things in stride because New Yorkers have a tendency to take you too seriously and will get offended!

Grow a backbone, or else NYC will eat you alive!

-Strong in NYC.....but relocating to Southern Cali in a month :D

ive never lived there but both my parents are from brooklyn

all they ever say is its noisy and its an different world down there
good luck!

No worries. Getting adapted to life in NYC will take less time than you think. You_ll spend more time worrying about it actually! When you get there and somewhat settled, take a walk, ride or tour around town. Have something to eat. Ask questions from local merchants. You_ll be surprised how many will want to help you out. The part about life being fast paced, cutthroat and maniacal is true. Again you_ll adapt. Keep your wits about you and learn the lifestyle. Once you figure out that_s there not much you can do about it, like NY traffic, the rest falls into place. Navigating your way around town is easy once your accustomed to it. There_s no shortage of transportation. If you do own a car, get ready to pay extraordinary high prices to park it. Prices for everything are high in NYC, but you should expect that. In all, life in NYC really is OK and you_ll end up loving it and the city too.

OK, I_m gonna do this in list form, I live in NYC, have for the past few years, and here are some thoughts:
First off:
NYC is not as bad as you think. Not as noisy, dangerous or expensive.

Rich people complain about how expensive it is, poor people rejoice in how cheap it is.

NYC is full of real people and it is full of phonies. Which are you?

Get rid of your car. it is a liability, and you will get nowhere fast with it. You will get tickets and it will get stolen, and you will still have to pay tickets on your stolen car.

You will be amazed at how fast you get used to not driving.

Don_t be mean to panhandlers and homeless people. They were here first and their situation is exponentially worse than yours. And most of them are not lying.

It is far better to offer help to someone who might not be worthy of it than to withhold it form someone who might be worthy.

Don_t be afraid to smile.

There is lots of cheap fun here

Central park is the best. So is Prospect Park and Inwood Hill Park.

The cheapest boat ride in the harbor is the Staten Island Ferry. it_s free.

You wont be able to bank the money you save by not having a car. You will spend it on housing.

Nobody moves to NYC because it_s clean

We measure rats here in terms of beverage containers:
Small baby rat: V8 can
Small adult rat: beer can
Average sized rat: 16 oz bottle
Large rat: 1 liter bottle
Very large rat: 2 liter bottle
huge rat; 3 liter bottle (yes we have them here!)

rat watching off the subway platform is fun.

it is considered polite to leave your newspaper on the subway for the next person to read, if you are done with it.

Your favorite restaurant has probably been cited a few times by the board of health. Don_t worry about it.

There is no north or south. it is uptown and downtown.

You will get very tired of seeing film crews on your block (but it is kind of cool to see your building in Law _ Order) Mine has been in it a few times!

If you are friendly and be yourself, you will make a lot of friends here. If you try to be someone you are not, you will make a lot of fake friends here.

Get good shoes. You will be walking a lot.

The food here is really cheap, and really good. Except in Midtown Manhattan. There it is overpriced.

Forget Seinfeld. Forget Sex _ The City. it_s not really like that.

People everywhere else are proud of how much stuff they have. New Yorkers are proud of how little stuff they have.

New York winters are cold _ sloppy, New York summers are brutally hot. New York springs and falls are beautiful.

The New York Public Library is your friend.

Real Estate brokers will lie, cheat, and are generally out to screw you. They should be drowned like rats in a bucket of water!

It_s ok to drink the water here....it_s actually really good.

Keep your MetroCard in the same place (I like to use my left back pocket)

Welcome to New York.....We_re not as bad as all that!

Where can i find a restaurants that serves breakfast in Boston, Ma?|147819

It have to serve breakfast, located in Boston and is train accessable.

Zaftig_s in Brookline - near the C branch of the green line (Coolidge Corner) - it_s not the most authentic Jewish deli but they do have great breakfasts. If you_re going on a weekend though expect to wait.

Stephanie_s on Newbury! And make sure you order the stuffed french toast. I still dream about it...

In East Boston Just steps from the Orient Heights Blue line station you will find a little gem called Donna_s, one of the best breakfasts in the area, good size portions at more than fair prices!

Or a little bit further off the beaten path get a Bus from orient Hights to Winthrop, ask the bus driver about the Hi-Tide, you won_t be sorry, or you can get a Cab from the station for about $5 to the Hi-Tide.

Ok if you are by the redline go to Rosebuds get off at the Davis Sq exit. Most restaurants have brunchs on Sunday.

A hotel restaurant, depends where in boston you are. Quincy mart has some nice areas that serve breakfast.

My God! At the least all the hotel dining rooms.

Would it be cheaper and easier to live in a San Diego California for graduate school?|115712

I plan on moving west after college. Although I like to take risks. I am also very nervous about my decision. But I feel like it is something that I need to do.

Nothing in San Diego is cheap. Like everyone else said you get what you pay for. If you get a decent place, not necessarily nice, just livable it_s about $1,000+ if you want to live w/in 20 miles of dtwn from Hillcrest and North like any of the beach areas, like Ocean beach, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, from downtown up or La jolla (which is nice, but will run you more that $1,000 a month)Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, Tierrasanta, Claremont, ummm...aren_t right on the beach or anything, but definately livable, nicer than some parts of San Diego. I live in Mission Valley which is Central San Diego and love it here. It_s located next to all the main freeways, 15 min. from downtown and the beaches and lots of shopping and grocery and what not all located here. Reasonably priced I guess, if that_s possible in San Diego. We are renting a condo from a friend for $800 a month....yeah.....we got lucky tho, again, renting from a friend, letting us off easy cause I_m in school. So normally our place would go for around $1200 month, which I would say is pretty standard for the area. If you_re looking for something cheaper, but not ghetto fabulous, you_re gonna have to go towards east county. Like El Cajon and Santee, and some parts of La mesa (on the North side of the eight) some people will come on here and say those areas are all ghetto, but there are nicer parts. Like for Santee/El cajon off of Hwy 67, an old roommate and I had a NICE apt for $950, it was pretty big, walk in closets and VERY clean, and new. Loved it there, but it was too much of a drive for both of us, it_s about 30-40 miles east of downtown, and an annoying drive, especially in traffic. You should probably give us an idea of which schools you are possibly looking at, so we can give you a better idea about location.

LA.....ewwww......dirty and full of over-caffinated people. You_d probably be paying about the same as here if not more, and be getting a lot less as far as decentcy goes. No sir, don_t like it. Unless you have lots of money or mommy and daddy do, perhaps you should look at living in a state that_s more affordable. When I graduate...peace...I_m outta here. So I can buy a house and live like I want to. Moving to Houston, Tx, where I can buy a 4 or 5 bdrm huge house, with an actual yard, (which you learn that most houses out here don_t actually have, they say they are yards, but they_re small as heck), for under $150,000 and still be by the ocean. It_s ridiculous out here as far as buying and renting goes, Such a shame, it_s so DAM BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE!!!!!!!!

A two bedroom apartment, in nice area, will cost you about $1,800 a month. You can save a lot of money by using public transportation.

Unless you already live somewhere expensive in CA, it will be anything but cheaper. Good luck to you!

For a decent place with 1bd/1ba, you are looking to pay about $1000 per month. Of course there are less expensive places but you get pretty much what you pay for.

What kind of graduate program are you considering? San Diego has only a few universities, compared to let_s say LA or Orange County, so you may want to look into the schools first.

Tom C, must have lived in San Diego , Texas!? nothing downtown will only cost $300 something unless it_s a cardboard box. I would look into the school first and then go from there. Many times you can live with another grad student.

I lived in SD for a while, paid about $360 a month in Downtown, walked to beach and park, near shopping mall and night life center, everyday I took express bus to La Jolla for 30 min. Like buffet there, for $5, you can eat everything.

How long are the queues in Disney world?|131955

My friend is going at the end of August and wants to know.

Is Disney World really really really good and is it suitable for all ages?

i love disney first off;


queues in disney depend on the ride itself.
they can have no wait at all, or they can have 2 hour waits.

example:
splash mountain: 1-2 hours.
dumbo: 30 mins
its a small world: no wait- 10 mins.


DISNEY IS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE! _33!

from toddlers to old folks.

Disney is suitable for all ages, but especially for those are not afraid to let out their _inner child_ while visiting.

The end of August is one of the best times to visit Disney World. If your friend is going late enough (the last 2 weeks of August), many schools are back in session, and crowds are much lighter than July for example.

When I went last August, we didn_t wait longer than 30 minutes for anything. The longest waits are for the newest and most popular rides like Space Mountain and Soarin. The new ride, Toy Story Mania, will have extremely long waits because it just opened.

If you really want to avoid waiting in lines you can do a little research by joining a site like www.touringplans.com or www.tourguidemike.com where they help you figure out how tour the parks in such a way as to minimize your weight time. For instance, most people tend to go through the Magic Kingdom counterclockwise, so if you go clockwise you_ll be going on the rides in the least busy order. Also generally choosing the left most queue is the fastest - things like that. Those are just a couple of general rules of thumb. Those sites have a lot more specifics.

im 17 and just went there last summer. definitly good for all ages. ok the line are long but heres a suggestion. they have the fast pass option so in the morning is the best time to get fast passes for the rest of the day to have a scheduled time to go on a ride. it is literally like less than five minutes of a wait

Yes, it_s a very cool place to go. Going in mid July. It_s suitable for pretty much all ages and there are rides that anyone of any age will enjoy!!

I have stayed at Hotel pensylvania a few times and always had a good stay. the rates are reasonable and it is directly across the street.

There are numerous websites that will help you find a hotel near MSG with available rooms. Try www.expedia.com, www.orbitz.com, www.hotels.com...
Use 33rd Street at 7th Avenue as the address for MSG.
