"As a local resident of South Beach, you tend to learn about hotels either by (a) renting a room for your parents because your apartment is too small for them to stay with you when they visit; or (b)…" - Dan Renzi

"R.I.P. I guess my Yelp praise didn't help. Closed. :(" - Dan Renzi

"Okay, all I'm saying is, we had a fabulous time. Will you have a good experience? It is quite possible you won't. But when my friend and I went there, the fates were smiling upon us and everything…" - Dan Renzi

"If you're going to rent a yacht for a day cruise, there really isn't any other company to call--The Advantaged has the best fleet of boats, both small and large, whether you want to cruise to The…" - Dan Renzi

"I really wanted to like this place. I wanted to like the Whirling Dervish who performed in the middle of the room (a "whirling dervish" is a dancer who spins around and around), I wanted to like the…" - Dan Renzi

"I have never stayed in a room here--as I am a local, I stay in hotels only when I hook up with a tourist for the night, and none of my tricks have ever stayed at this place. But I've been to several…" - Dan Renzi

"Who is eating here that enjoys this food? Holy Moses, this place is bunk. Everything is burned/soggy/bland/overly fried/quality of food usually reserved for prisons and elementary school lunches.…" - Dan Renzi

"Eating at Creek 28 is like going to your fashionable friend's house for dinner--the friend who cooks imaginative food and makes the plates look so pretty, but keeps it casual so the focus is on the…" - Dan Renzi

"I have long searched for boba tea in Florida--my beloved drink from Asia, the cups of sweet mystery liquid with a collection of chewy balls at the bottom. What is it about boba tea that I love so…" - Dan Renzi

"There is this weird trend in South Beach with people obsessing over "gourmet" hamburger restaurants, like they are the new big thing. It's really just an excuse for a restaurant to charge $15 for a…" - Dan Renzi

"I've only eaten here once so I don't know if I just got lucky, or what--but I ordered Orange Chicken (not on the menu but they made it anyway!) and it is lovely grilled chicken, both white and dark…" - Dan Renzi

"Well, I take it back--I wrote a great review before, but I guess I caught this place on a good day that first time. I have eaten here a few times since that delightful first foray, and it has been…" - Dan Renzi

"Imagine Chipolte, without the disturbing "aluminum belongs everywhere!" interior, with a salsa bar that has mango salsa. That's The Whole Enchilada. Had chicken tacos, they were good, we left. I…" - Dan Renzi

"Why did I go here again? Every time I eat here I think "I am so not coming back to this place." And then 8 months go by and I forget and I see the place filled with tourists, and I think "Oh, people…" - Dan Renzi

"Yeah, the bottles of soda were a nice touch. Are they recycling? Hope so. Whatev--the food was really good, and the ice cream cone bar was a simple and delicious touch. I love the sight of adult…" - Dan Renzi

"I have tried Charlotte Bakery a few times, based on recommendations. This place is where non-Latin people go when they want to say "Oh, I found them most marvelous hole in the wall restaurant, and we…" - Dan Renzi

"This place is alright but they give you what looks like a huge sandwich, but it's really all bread bread bread. The people-watching is more interesting here. But the sandwiches are just sandwiches,…" - Dan Renzi

"This event is the worst thing that has ever happened to South Beach. When I moved to South Beach, I purposely wanted to live in a touristy location. I like walking out of my door and being in the…" - Dan Renzi

"I am reluctant to give away the coveted secrets of my people, the gays. We protect our little special ways like they were the scripts of ancient ruins, containing the mysteries of the universe. Why…" - Dan Renzi

"Ugh, I'm trying to remember the things I get here. There are only a few. They are delicious, but you must be forewarned that if you stray from this list you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK as some food here…" - Dan Renzi

"I need to talk about bacon. Big, thick slabs of bacon. Savory. Salty. So good bacon. Fernanda's is a delightful market--any type of imported Italian foodstuff you so desire, it's there on the…" - Dan Renzi

"On the list of "great places to get breakfast," Joe's Stone Crabs is way up there--perfect if you have a special someone stay over, and while s/he is still snoozing you can sneak out and get a bunch…" - Dan Renzi

"Let's get something out of the way: this gym is a lovely place. It is very clean, the equipment is the best around, and the "Turkish orgy palace" decor is fantastic. It's like a nightclub, and I…" - Dan Renzi

"This place used to be Porcao; but it's the same thing, with guys walking around with giant skewers of various meats, slicing pieces onto your plate. Ribs? Check. Brisket? Got it. Chicken hearts?…" - Dan Renzi

"What time is it? Where am I? I had no idea this place was here. Apparently Los Perros has been in existence for years, tucked into this little corner by the laundromat and the scary market with the…" - Dan Renzi

"True story: I went to Nest, a new furniture store on Lincoln Road; I've heard a bit of buzz about this new place, so I wanted to take a look to see what was up. It looks like a slightly-polished…" - Dan Renzi

"OMG, did you know the chicken pita (don't call it a gyro! the people who work there don't like it!) has only 13.2 grams of fat? That's really not bad, especially for fast food. Protein count is…" - Dan Renzi

"The trick with the Fillmore (for music performances): sit in the orchestra section, somewhere in the front half. If you're too far back, you sit beneath the balcony and the sound bounces and echoes.…" - Dan Renzi

"The food here actually isn't bad; you just get ripped off for what you pay for. Rancho Grande up on Pennsylvania is better, if you must enjoy el Mexicano. The one saving grace: the molcajete, an…" - Dan Renzi
