- Miami
- male
(Who are you?)
Miami native, master mixer, devoted bicyclist, fair-to-middling cook, mediocre driver. I love music and musical experiences, and I have the uncanny ability to sense if the AC is working properly.

My Miami

Restaurants:
Seeking good, authentic Mexican eats. And the Donut Gallery on Key Biscayne has great sentimental value.
Nightclubs:
Churchill's Hideaway, Tobacco Road, Transit Lounge.
Beaches:
Crandon Park, but only after a long, sweaty bike ride to get there.
Museums:
Historical Museum of Southern Florida.
Attractions:
Anything not buried in concrete.
Neighborhoods:
Edgewater.
Teams:
Dolphins, Hurricanes.
Secret Hangouts:
My fallout bunker.
Other:
Things that make Miami bearable: The Rhythm Foundation, Churchill's & Sweat Records, media noches, unexpected acts of kindness on I-95.
