Welcome 2011 - Downtown Fort Lauderdale

This was my second NYE in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Last year I missed the ball drop and the fireworks. This year we were really close to the whole thing. There were so many people on the street, but it wasn't as packed as Times Square. It was a wonderful night to be out. All being said, I still think NYE is more lively in NYC than in Miami.

The DBR (The Democratic Republic Of Beer) Miami

The Democratic Republic Of Beer - Miami is a small classy bar located on 225 NE 14th street, Miami is one of the few places in Miami I have been to has a fine collection of domestic and international beers. With a 12 pages of beer lists and a relaxed atmosphere, I really like d this place.

The beer I tried here today is Flying Dog's In-Heat Wheat. It's an American Hefeweizen beer. The Flying Dog brewery has a great sense of humor. Here is what it says on the back of the beer:

Downtown Miami

A shot of downtown Miami. In so many ways it reminds me of Chicago with the river going through the city. Over the ground train is something we dont see in nyc. i wonder how it would have looked like with subways going over the ground on bridges around midtown Manhatten.

Guns!!??

I don't think I ever saw any gun stores while I was living in NYC. I doubt there are any. Here I am in South Beach driving down Alton road and wow, a gun depo! It surprises me to see how Miami is so different from nyc.

South Beach, the day after Christmas

The beach is empty - just a few people walking around in jackets or sweat shirts. Last year this time out wasn't so cold. I was able to get into water and it was nice.Maybe I have lived in Miami long enough to get used to the warm weather. It's still better than freezing cold Conry Island or Jones Beach.
