Strictly Sail Miami

[MrBill_FLL]

We were in Coconut Grove, Biscayne Bay for 2 months last winter. We had many good lunches at Scotties, I think it would be a good haul for lunch from the show. Is there good public transit between those two points ? If so then the marina would be a good place to park while at the show.

We will be at the show on the 15th. Still have not decided on parking. I have a 4x4 pickup and height can be an issue with a garage. Any outdoor suggestions for parking ?

there is good public trans from the central grove to downtown...
-if you take the metro rail and metro mover. - catch it at us1 in the grove. (elevated light rail). that is pretty safe...

on the weekends there is public parking (meters) in the median on biscayne blvd. (full normally weekdays).

also the consider the omni (mall) to the north, or hyatt (james l knight center) or the parking lots, near the mandarin oriental.

However, I would take a cab at night. even for 4 blocks.


There is a large homeless population living in the park just to the north of the basketball arena ( Bicentennial Park ) -and most cops are not on foot...

I want to change my opinion on 15street fisheries. a co worker when last night and said a new chef was hired and food was very fresh. he had tuna, and black grouper.

its pricey but one of the most scenic /romantic views in Ft everglades. (downstairs is casual, upstairs is dressy.)
