foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] what's up everyone welcome to Miami. It's a Saturday afternoon, January 28, 2023. Time is about 4:30 p.m. and it's 75 Fahrenheit, 24 Celsius. I'm here on Biscayne Boulevard and there sure are a lot of changes around here, some of which I am expecting to cover tomorrow. Hope everyone's doing well. foreign Park, but they're getting ready to start the Miami Marathon tomorrow morning. I'm actually intending to cover a part of the marathon on video and to get prepared for the marathon. They've turned this west side access of Biscayne Boulevard into two directions, North and Southbound, and this side over here is reserved for the tents and the finish line and refreshments and whatnot. So it's going to be exciting to see this.

Marathon tomorrow. I think there's going to be over 20,000 runners, and they're going to be running throughout the Miami area. So, you see here, they have an athlete food section. I'm not even sure how this is going to work with me crossing the street over here. Maybe it's better not to cross the street here. I'll go up there to the next light. But this is pretty much where the beginning and the end is. The finish line is going to be at Bayfront Park down there, and the start. We're going to be passing by [Music] and today I'm intending to take a walk into the Wynwood area, which I haven't been to in a while. Maybe see what's going on there on this Saturday afternoon, and hopefully, I can make it up to the Miami Design District as well. The start line for this Miami Marathon will be at the Miami-Dade Arena, where the basketball team plays [Music]. Up, I hear John Lennon Imagine, so I'm gonna have to mute this and play my

[Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] so that was a little bit of a protest back there. Stop executions in Iran. I know in recent days the world has been kind of riled up with all the crime happening. I'll try not to dwell into those topics too much, but it's very sad what's happening. All you need to know to find out what's going on is to turn on your television or look at on the internet. Very easy nowadays. It is kind of cloudy today, hung Mao. There is no sun at all in the sky. Oh e baby, it is shorts weather. It's not that cold where people need to wear long pants. Yes, Robert, this is the Miami Freedom Tower. Used to be the Immigration Center for the area. I didn't see any rain in the forecast touring different places. If it rains, I don't think it will rain for too long. Oh, thank you. You really enjoy my videos in Miami, and I enjoy making them as well. Jay Fergie's asking, is Miami a pretty

walkable City. It's actually surprisingly more walkable than you think compared to most of America. A lot of suburban America doesn't even have the sidewalk infrastructure or they don't even have public transportation. I see they're getting ready for tomorrow. They have the porta potties all set up. After all, 20,000 runners are going to need to be using the restroom eventually. And we have the Miami Police Department on bikes. A large group of the Miami Police Department. I guess they're also practicing for tomorrow's event. When the fine does kick off, they can patrol easier on bikes. After all, it is a pretty wide race for a marathon, 26 miles. [Music] Let's see if they have the start line all set up yet. This is supposed to be the starting line. Good amount of Miami police officers on bikes there. The last time I saw such a large group of police officers on bikes was when I visited Montreal. I was on my way to the Monroyal pathway and I saw them biking.

foreign. I like how they, uh, prepare these Porta pies for tomorrow. You can't even use these now if you wanted to. It's zip-tied together, so if you want to use these, you better bring a pair of scissors with you or a knife. But even then, I wouldn't do that. They have them zip-tied for a reason. Yeah, Brad, one day I should go there to the Sawgrass Mills Mall. More porta potties here across the street. I don't really see any grandstand or anything for the starting line because the starting line is supposed to be here. And then from here, they run over the MacArthur Causeway to South Beach, go across to Ocean Drive, and then go up. And then they run across the Venetian Causeway back to downtown through Brickell, and then part of the Rickenbacker Causeway, and then back to downtown. That's 26 miles. [Music] foreign. I'm not sure how it's going to work for tomorrow. Are they going to bring a grand

stand out here or just start it from the street. Maybe, oh Laura, you like my pasta cooking video yesterday, that instant pause. You'll be a great adventure, it really is. If anybody doesn't know what she's talking about, I have a video on my second channel, Action Kit Extra. I cooked an instant pot tofu Bolognese, and I actually cooked another variation today, but with spaghetti. I didn't record it though, so you're not going to see a video on that. Looking back on it, I think I probably should have, but it was pretty much the same recipe. I just used spaghetti instead of penne pasta. Uh, okay, so this is new, these fences. I think they're going to be using them for tomorrow's marathon, and it's also making it a little bit difficult to cross the street now, but that's fine. LED Sean asking if I'm running tomorrow. I won't be. I will be vlogging the marathon though, at least parts of it, and then hopefully I can get a live stream up before the marathon ends.

because it ends pretty early in the day. The marathon starts at 6 a.m. and it ends at 1:00 p.m. So if I do a live stream maybe around like 11 A.M. or so I anticipate it. Life begins at 40. Chucks says I get a lot of walking in. I sure do although I'm finding I'm getting a lot less walking in here in Florida compared to all the places I've been like New York. Cleans asking what are these red paint markings on the ground. Utilities that's what it usually means. This is probably a gas line maybe or electric. Oh thanks touring different places. You like my video of the five Borough Bike Tour three years ago. I actually was a volunteer for that. I had to get up really early and pretty much secure a safe route for pedestrians and people participating in the bike tour. I was actually very important there because it was such a busy intersection where I was stationed. Sixth Avenue and 40th Street. There's so many people like crossing over to Bryant.

Park and I was the only one there, like telling people to stop and yield to the pedestrians. Looks like I'm able to cross the street from here. Oh, Laurie, I use the instant pot Duo. I'm not sure how new it is, but I bought it about six months ago, I'd say. You might be able to cross the street after this far apart comes by. All right, let's go [Music]. Well, there's a red light, but I didn't get a Crossing signal. Break my dreams is asking if I've ever vlogged for a con before. I don't know what that means. I think that was a typo. Saha Hadid's 1000 Museum Park Building, super unique luxury building. And if you look closely, this is the parking garage. It looks like part of the design of the building. Oh, young Swiss saying Khan, meaning a convention. I might have done something in the past. I've attended like the Jacob Jarvis auto show, but I don't remember vlogging that. Art Winwood is coming from February 16th.

to 19th the same time as the Miami Boat Festival. The Saint Laurent one saying he lived in Miami and it can confirm that's way better than Lauderdale. It's a different kind of atmosphere. I was in Fort Lauderdale two days ago. Maybe I should try Crossing [Music] foreign [Music] Paul. I missed Art Basel, the biggest event of the year in Miami. At that time, I was in uh Canada and New York City. Happened during December [Music]. I'd like to be everywhere, believe me. If I could, I'd have the ability to transport myself wherever I need to be at a moment's notice. Thank you. This also says remember this intersection during the hurricane. I wasn't here during a hurricane. It was actually a pretty bad rainstorm at that time and it was completely flooded. I came by here and I saw The Weather Channel out here. Here's where they're building the new um Arch Bridge to replace the bridge over here. Part two videos says I must be cloned. Dozens of vacations around the world making videos.

well I'm not the only one who makes videos around the world. There's a lot of other influencers on YouTube and other social media sites you could follow that kind of do a similar work of what I do, although maybe not to the same extent because I have a very unique personality. Oh, that's true, Gene Paul. I'm close to Miami slice. I could see the line if I go there. I was actually by there yesterday [Music] and I saw a long line. Supposedly, it's a brand new place doing a soft opening, and it's five dollars and 25 cents a slice. How are you doing, tips for tourists? It has been a while, and I'm doing great. Oh, thanks, Rob D. We learned a lot about the United States for me, and you live in Wales, the United Kingdom. Oh, really, Dave Portnoy recently went there. John Paul, I didn't know. Maybe that's why the line is so long. Dave Portnoy's legard says, One bite, everyone knows the rules. I mean, I didn't see this video, but I

could already imagine what he says. Here we go. We got Miami Slice Pizza. Long line here in Miami. No decor. Let's see how it is. One bite. Everyone knows the rules. Sorry. It's got a good chart of it. You got this nice sauce. Yep. You can give it a solid 7 out of 10. One bite. He knows the rules. That's what he'd say probably, but he probably rated a lot higher than that. But now, as you mentioned, I gotta watch this video. I might even look it up right now because I haven't been following his videos for a while. Miami Slice. Maybe that's why it was such a long line. Oh wait, it's two months ago. I can't play that song. It's probably copyright. Yeah, that's the place. I'm just gonna skip to his rating. Where'd he give it? Whoa, you're kidding me. 8.6. No wonder why it has a long line. Maybe I do have to try it. Okay, all right. I'm gonna walk by there now because he brought it up. It's very close.

by I know exactly where it is. Actually, uh, this street here will get me closer to it on Northeast 14th. [Music] I know hung Mao and eight six is very high, but it's also pricey. It's 5 25 for a slice of marinara or they, I think it's margarita. I was looking at their menu when I was eating at the restaurant next door. You know what? I think there's a parking lot in the way. We're going to have to um go around it. I should have just continued where I was going and then made a left. Christian says he's been giving uh high scores lately. He likes good family stories. Here's a New York Pizza Brooklyn style. There's a few people in there. I've noticed that too. Sometimes it's not about the fool but about the story and like the people behind it. [Music] Miami slice is about two or three blocks down from here. [Music] Samuel colonya says he used to love when you were doing New York City lives in

Brooklyn excellence, and thanks for stopping by. There's a reason why you stopped by. Now I should get a slice and review it live. I don't know about that, but I should cross the street. Now that I do know, because it can get kind of hectic up there crossing the street across here and then cross there. Oh, that's good, Moses. You went to Miami for the first time in 2015. Paul P asks, What do you miss the most about New York City? My friends and family. Don't even have to think about it. Miami slice is very near the old Foodies LLC, which I reviewed twice on my second channel. Unfortunately, it closed up. Oh, Seth, that's a good idea because I frequently showcase food on this channel. Small bird alert. There were two of them, these small migratory birds, the warblers. They're so hard to catch, and this one's being so calm for us. National Geographic time. Oh, Jeff, it's a finch. I actually don't know the difference between a finch and a warbler.

and as our rat asking when are you going back to New York for that you're going to have to stay subscribed my friend. All right, around the corner is Miami slice. We're gonna have to wait for the light. Sounds like the fire department is coming by or ambulance possibly. I think they're turning off maybe. [Music] Let's take a look at Miami slice. So over here to the right, no no, oh yes Ephraim lamb f train lefting. Well, I've heard about that apartment building before. It was on the news. This apartment building's pool deck downtown is located next to a County Jail, and people are complaining that the inmates from this jail are whistling at the people at the pool deck and calling them names and some other crude remarks. I've never been there. I might have to find it. Yeah Donald, we're going there right now. The Miami slice is around the corner. Here it is, Northeast Miami Court. Dave Portnoy gave us a 8-6. This is the place Miami slice foreign.

look at this line. Thursday to Sunday, 5 P.M. to 9 P.M. Soft opening, no cash, heavy door. I know a lot of this place is good. That's why people are waiting in line, because everybody knows the rules, right? You gotta wait in line for a slice of pizza here. You can't cut the line. It's, uh, I might have to try this sometime. For me, I'm not waiting in this line until the hype dies down, at least not now. Yeah, we should get in line for tomorrow. Here's the old Foodies LLC, a place I'm sad that closed down. It happens, e-baby, a line outside for pizza. I want to cross the street. Let's pause with this guy. All right, eyeglass lace has long lines equals good food usually, although I don't like waiting in lines for food. Well, I'm speaking from experience. Sometimes it is worth waiting in line for food, and then sometimes it isn't. In a place like New York City, where I'm from, there's usually a place that's like 80

percent as good as the place you want to go see what a long line, and oftentimes I end up skipping the long line and going to the place that's 80 is good, but here in Miami, I don't think there's a comparable pizza place to uh here, so maybe it is worth waiting in line. I'm gonna have to judge it for myself when I finally do go there and review it. Yes, Zozo Bob, this is the last stop on the Metro mover, the school board station. It's actually a really nice pathway here. Marik says there's no pizza place in Miami that's worth its value. Apollo Luigi in uh Coconut Grove, you have to try it. There's also Steve's Pizza, which is good, by the way. That woman back there said no paparazzi. You're not that famous to be uh recognized, lady. You're in public. I can record you if I want to. Um RX says thieves is good, but addicted because of the sugar. Still hasn't compared to New York Pizza by a

stretch. I liked it. This part of Miami isn't really developed that much. There's a vacant lot next to me, but we are going to be walking into Winwood if I continue walking North. Yeah, Mike, it happens sometimes. People don't know how to react to right. You know what? I get a lot of times. The people who joke around about not wanting to be on camera. They think they're being funny, but I've heard that joke so many times. It's like, you know, you're gonna have to pay a thousand dollars for that. Well, I'm just playing. How many times have I heard that? It's like, bother you, greet me, or you don't do that kind of stuff. Say, Hey, no recording me. Oh, I'm just playing, dude. Camillus as they want to be noticed. Yeah, there's the part of Miami that doesn't get a lot of the glamor. [Music] foreign says there's always cameras in public places for security reasons. Very true, Daryl, and it actually assisted me a little, uh, a few days back when I almost had my

camera bag stolen. I saw the entire incident on the security camera. Thanks, Robert, for clarifying that too. So, you can see we're entering when we're The Artsy neighborhood because we're getting some art coming up. Here's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I'm not familiar with these characters. Maybe it's made up shaky there. Says that's some art we're going to be seeing more of it. Oh wow, this is new. I think yeah, maybe I did take a wrong turn. I kind of remember that I was able to go through here but looks like it's a construction site now. Road closed, local traffic only, hard hat required. Maybe I could walk through it. Yeah, let's do it. Metal 37 asking if I could see myself in any other cities than Miami or New York living. Yes, I can. Walking through a road closed area. It's the way I do it. Laughs. Aloha. They says don't get run over. There was nothing there. It's just a blockade. [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign

[Music] pm. Julia Tuttle is buried here, the founder of the city. Marik 99. I've heard you couldn't walk down that street casually like you're doing five years ago. You would get mugged or killed. I've heard this was a pretty rough area back then, and it is still kind of in places, but Winwood is changing very rapidly. There's the fire department. I wish fire would wait for us. Hey, fire, wait. I gotta save my dog, my mother, my mother-in-law, my five dogs. Could you wait for a bit? I don't want my things to burn too quickly. That'll be cool. Oh, and after I save all those things, I want to save my PlayStation 5, my supercomputer, my instant pot, my scooter too. Give me enough. Give me like a day or two. I'll move everything out. Then you can burn my place. Unfortunately, fires don't work like that. Nicholas Judah is asking me so many questions. Could you see myself living in x x x? I don't think I'll need to answer all of

them. I could see myself living in a lot of places. I have not, Craig. I haven't been to Matheson Hammock Park for the north strawberry farm, and we are in Wynwood now. Foreign. Whoa, look at this car. [Music] Looks like a custom paint job. Bus driver just gave me a honk. Brianna Morales, do you get tired of walking? LOL. Watch my April Fool's video from last year. That was the entire video. Concepts, the title was I'm tired of walking around. Oh, here we go. Let's walk. And then I gotta walk this way too. [Music] [Music] Seeing Lauren says Kush is pretty good. Is this the same Kush as the one in Brickell that replaced Tobacco Road? Because I know that's a famous dive bar. I wonder if this is related. Walking signal. I need to go a couple blocks over to get to the main part of Wynwood. I believe it's Northwest 2nd Avenue. That's the main street. Yes, that's correct. Just a few blocks over, we'll find that Lorry if there's new

exhibits or murals. This neighborhood's famous for its artwork, and we'll see if the internet connection holds up too, because I know when Woods connection can be kind of spotty. But I am bonding my connections together, Verizon with acnt. [Music] I still can't believe South Beach has spotty internet service, especially over the causeways. This looks like a big castle. Tom says the sun sets in Miami, you're Epic. Steve says you get zero Connection in Winwood or Brick or Edgewater and South Beach. I actually got to create yourself, really. You should be fine in Brickle or Edgewater, because I usually get good connection there. [Music] The traffic light up ahead, that's where I'll be turning off to the right. Foreign 's First Avenue, Donald. I've been to Jacksonville before, but it really was only for like a brief moment. I stopped there to eat, and I didn't really stop to explore. That was on my drive to New York. This part of Wynwood is a little bit rough though, on the edges.

yeah, Alex. I was in um Los Angeles homeless virtually everywhere, especially in the downtown. Here you'll see them, but it's not nearly as frequent. This part of Miami kind of reminds me of Skid Row in LA, but it's a lot less concentrated. Foreign Lawrence's Overtown basically. Yeah, well right across the street from Overtown. This is the boundary right here Northwest 20th Street where I am. It's a very quiet area of Miami Overtown. Alex says you agree, especially when you're riding the LA trains. I live there. It's depressing to see. This is why I decided to buy a car and ditch the public transit. It's a serious issue with homelessness throughout the country. Foreign what's up Roomba tours. I think this is a new mural. It might even be a new uh cultural institution. It says Museum Nicholas you better watch it. I know what you were trying to do. Even so, it's creating some drama in the chat that shouldn't really be here. Bellows film LAB Miami.

this is pretty cool. It's like ice cream, and it's dripping onto the floor. And we have the world-famous House of Mac here. Walk right by it. There's a pretty cool spot I found here on the top floor before. It's called a lease rooftop restaurant. And I remember this was a dessert spot on the ground level. It changed to something else. Now it's called the moon lunch, but they still have a pink design. Wow, really cool. This is my first time in Wynwood in a while. Miguel's asked me how's the food. It's pretty good. I enjoyed it so far. We're getting solid connection in Wynwood with the cell phone service. We'll see how it is by the Wynwood walls. That's where I usually find the connection to drop a little bit. Yeah, for sure. Eyeglass lady, the pink's unique. Oh, this is bad. They really drew on the sidewalk. Laura and Amelia equals hearts. Now Laura and Amelia is going to be embarrassed for as long as the sidewalk is going to

be here. That's what happens in Miami, and look, it even happened with this. This is all dried up already, so we have an autographed sidewalk. Well, maybe they wanted it to do this way. I don't know. Maybe it's part of the art style of win where they want to try to do, but it doesn't seem like the owner of the sidewalk really cares about people's initials and their sidewalk. Oh, wait a second. The ice cream place is still here, the moon. I gotta confuse with this place Yoko matcha, best ice cream in Florida. It's actually pretty good. Yeah, I've been there too, Yoko matcha. I'm getting a little bit nervous about my internet connection. It dipped down a little bit. Hope it holds up. Brooklyn Pizza. We saw a New York Pizza and now a Brooklyn Pizza. Foreign [Music] about it. Let's take a look at this place. How's the I'm from New York. How's your pizza? That looks like a legit New York slice style. You have to come back. Thanks.

another spot I got to add to my review list. I'm not in the mood to have anything right now, but they look good. Robert says it looks so-so well, looks like it's been sitting out for a little bit, but I'm sure fresh pie would taste very good. There's a lot more people now in Wynwood. [Music] Yeah, Robert was sitting out for a bit for sure. Hello, Joe. When the juice changed, really chill spot from some coffee. I ate at this place before I reviewed it. That's right, JDS. This is the busy part of town on the weekends, especially in this place. It gets pretty lively. Let's check down here. What is this place? Ramps, coal, beer, AC. Kind of looks like a place that's hidden away. This looks kind of funky and retro. Amazing. It's pretty cool. Let's check the rest of Wynwood now. I also want to make it up to Midtown. Gene says, You want me to go to Smorgasburg next to the Wynwood walls? We could check it out for sure.

[Music] What I hate about Wynwood is the pedestrian crossings. This place is pretty decent, the Coyo Taco Mexican in Miami, though you haven't seen much of Wynwood on streams. Eddie, we saw one protest in downtown foreign. You went to Smorgasburg last week and the salty donut to boot. Very nice. Hey, how are you? [Music] We're very close to Windward walls. [Music] [Music] Windward walls is right over here. It's like the most popular place in this neighborhood. Thanks, Oreo 777, for pointing it out. Thanks, Electric Jim, for a 249 Euro. Appreciate the support, Electric Gym. Thank you very much. When there's a lot of people on the chat, sometimes the line skips, so I don't see everything. Windward walls, you have to pay to get in here to see all the murals. I remember it used to be free for a time. Someone's graduating foreign. It's happening there, and we are here at Smorgasburg Miami.

it's probably the event that's attracting everyone to Wynwood right now. I wonder where the entrance is. It looks like a pretty big event. I know Gene Paul, they're from New York. Seems like they're expanding, though. I took a quick look. There's a few vendors that I've noticed from the New York ones that made a return in Miami. [Music] It's a pretty big area for them. The oldest, I guess, it's sensitive, and this is not understood. Coney Burger beef. [Music] Street Food, that's right. JD's. It's very similar to the Smorgasburg in Williamsburg. Sometimes I've seen them held in Prospect Park as well. Thank you, Korean Fried Chicken. How's it going? Looks good, malbao. I'm gonna have to play my own music. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] So let's go. [Music] Thank you. [Music] This will take us. [Music] It's a lot bigger venue than I thought.

[Music] Asian street food. Bao. I've seen them in New York too. Italian arancini. Yeah, this guy's life. Hey, how are you? I'm from New York, but I moved here. Tijuana Style Beer tacos. Long line for the market and milkshake bar. As you can imagine, this uh creation is pretty instagramable. This is what you're getting. Cookie dough. Dolce leg leche. Cookies and cream. If you want a packed dessert, this is where you go. [Music] Come on, okay, raccoon coffee. [Music] La picana grill. Really fast. Smells great. Uh, Stormy. This is the Smorgasburg Miami. It's hosted here in Wynwood right now. [Music] It's amazing. [Music] Let me tell you, whatever I'm doing with my cell phone service, it's working, and I really haven't had much buffering in Wynwood. I thought I was gonna have something, but so far, it's holding out. We'll see what happens when I get to Midtown Miami. I know it always dropped there, and also

the Design District. At this time, I don't expect the Design District to be too lively. Foreign yo-yo is coming soon right next to me. Yes, nesters Miami does have 5G, although it's not always reliable. I love this mural here, Bottled Grande. So cool. This place is lively. Thank you, Tamara Britain, with five dollars. Appreciate the support. Thank you very much. Thank you, Tamara. [Music] Helps to be quick at the crosswalk so you can make a cross without getting run over. Red light on both sides, but the walk sign didn't change. So I appreciate it, Tamara. Thanks for watching. [Music] Once I get to Miami Avenue, I'm going to turn left. It's only two blocks away. There are a lot of murals of the Monopoly guy. Yeah, Amy, I love all the buildings here too. Each of them, they have their own different style. Fake and lot, it's just overgrown with weeds. Life begins at 40. Chuck, Monopoly is the game that can ruin friendships.

I've heard that there's a lot of new areas that are being built and put up that I haven't seen before. This was here, but I don't think it was really filled with a lot of stores yet. It still isn't just the one on the corner. [Music] Kirk glad asking, Oh, you'll be back in Miami later this summer. That's cool. Look at this new construction site. [Music] Sonia Perez saying, You like this part of Miami way more than Brickell. Well, I get it. Brickell's already all built up, and it's very trendy. This one's kind of got a hip atmosphere, very different, like culture in Winwood. Someone did shout something. It was a guy on a scooter. I couldn't make out what he said either because he was going so fast. Sounded like hi vlog or something. If anyone's tried talking to someone while you're moving, it's a lot harder to hear them. Foreign [Music] they look like fun. Yeah, they can be. Oh, I hate this intersection.

you know what? I'm gonna run attach it because this intersection sucks. Foreign. All right, good. I have a love-hate relationship with this intersection here. This is all Midtown Miami. There's a big empty lot here. I'm not sure what's going to happen here. Broken sidewalk. Boom. 2916 North Miami Avenue. Maybe I can make a report of this, take a picture, because that's what they want. Everybody works for the Venetian Causeway, so now I know that they're responding to these service requests, uh, probably on the roadways, right? A property. I'll look it up. Yeah, it's on the roadways. Damaged sidewalk. Oh wait, I can take a photo now from this app and select the address and whatnot. Let's try it out. Yeah, nesters. I'm aware. I won't do that. Take a picture. Wow. Auto detects location too. Okay. Does this road meet any of the following criteria? Damn. New development. None of the above. None of the above. I guess water meter. Nope. Man, I want you to ask. This is a lot. They want to fill out a

whole form how many sidewalk squares are broken too how high is the walking surface lifted three inches [Music] so admits all right it's been reported damaged sidewalk perfect Nestor says they totally won't listen to the broken star it did in the Venetian Causeway don't knock it off because I saw it I walked by that it was orange paints around the damaged sidewalk which means they're probably going to address it soon I'm going to head over into the right here it's the uh pedestrian section of Midtown Miami I mean this is damaged too but I hope they'll find this when they fix that one it's all due to the tree Malco girls says you're not in Brickell won't get fixed well that may be true you don't really know unless you try they might hung Mouse since I report they might have to do something about it oh wow I like what they doing in Midtown Miami Nordstrom Rack anime Bubba looks like a bubble tea stall

but they're not open right now. I'm too late for a bubble tea. Foreign, you know I've never been to this part of Midtown Miami. I've always stayed like within here and here, or maybe I have been here, I forget. This is really neat. One side of the trees are lit, the other side isn't. A community playground, the m park Midtown Miami. It's very neat, looks like a clean surface for the children, artificial turf, so beautiful. Foreign, yeah, they did do a good job fencing in the park. They need to because there's a lot of cars here, and my internet is struggling a little bit here. It's kind of going up and down, but hopefully it doesn't dip so much that I can't stream Artisan Pizza. Foreign, it's dipping here a little bit. I don't get it. They need more cell phone service here. Even with Me Bonding, Verizon, and ATT together, it's in the red. Yeah, I'm aware, Lori. It's buffering a little bit. Bath and Body Works. Foreign. [Music] I can see where you say that.

very similar style with these buildings. [Music] foreign S. I am once I got to this other side of the block. I'm going to walk across. [Music] There's more to see there. Target. I think there's the closest Target to downtown. What's this guy doing? He's running across the street. What a bag. foreign [Music] I'm not sure they have a thief or not. Maybe delivery. How is he saying delivery? Yeah, Jose. Target used to be the only thing in the area. They developed this. Will eventually get developed too, believe it or not. It's private property and uh, it's kind of used as like the neighborhood's public park right now. They should make it into a park, to be honest. The Miami Design District is only like two, three blocks to the north of me, but I think uh, I'm just gonna stay here in the Design District. Let's cross here. [Music] Miguel's saying it's a small version of Central Park. [Music] [Music] foreign. I thought they were stuck in traffic.

and he couldn't go. [Music] Yeah, I'm glad they were able to get through. [Music] There's a lot of good restaurants here, one which I ate at recently, Real Low. I will do a walk in St. Augustine eventually. I don't know when I'm going to have the time to get there, though. I know it's much requested. Look what's coming to Midtown Miami, Z. This is my favorite vegan restaurant in Miami. I actually rode my scooter all the way to the one in Coconut Grove, but now I know they're moving here. I'm looking forward to their Midtown location. Here's Salome area 104, a very popular Italian restaurant. They have two sections, this is a dining room. Also, I know Hungman. I'm looking forward to it. I know you really like my food review the first time, foreign. [Music] Although it is a desirable place to live now, Midtown Miami, the coffee shop that's known all throughout the world, Starbucks. [Music] Mike says you'll never understand why.

people like to eat on the sidewalks or in the parking spaces. Well, they just like to be outside. What's going on here? This guy's doing a u-turn. I think they need to start putting traffic lights here. This is kind of crazy with the stop signs and whatnot, kind of like the same thing in Brickell downtown. We're near the Brickell City Center and Mary Brickell Village. They need stop signs there. I mean, uh, traffic lights. This is crazy. Come on, Miami. Yeah, live stream on YouTube. Hey, straight from Midtown Miami. How are we doing? Great, great. Zozo says no stop signs. It's always stop, but they still need a traffic signal. It's horrible. I mean, you would think with an area this dense, they should put one. I've noticed that in Miami, they're kind of backwards when it comes to road safety. It's kind of like every person for themselves on the roads. They don't put in pedestrian priority like lights or anything. That's one thing I dislike about Miami. It's not great. I think if Miami really wants to be a

good good City. They got a really prioritize pedestrians in the dense areas like Brickell, downtown, Midtown Miami. Can you submit a report on the 3-1-1 app? Uh, I don't think that's really a reportable problem. I mean, it is if there's something wrong with it, like functionally, but it works. It just doesn't work well. That really has to come from, like, the Department of Transportation or, you know, the legislature. I know the mayor right now is really trying to push more public transit. She's really on board with extending the Metro mover to South Beach, as well as Metro Rail to Hard Rock stadium. But still, there needs to be more done here with the traffic signals. Get my latest, you know, italica sounds like Metallica of a rock band, heavy metal [Music]. And here we are at Trader Joe's. I'm sure you've heard of Trader Joe's before. Foreign is actually a really nice Trader Joe's. The new Trader Joe's is nice. It really is. Speaking of which, I think I'm gonna stop by here because I

need to buy some groceries, and I think this live stream has gone on long enough. Legends, I'm not really too sure how they're going to react with me bringing a camera inside, but I could show you the parking area. You know what? My signal is really dropping as I walk down this way, so maybe I should just end it here. But they got a big parking garage. This is the entire garage right here, so they got plenty of space. All right, gonna get some groceries now, everyone. Thanks for joining me on this live walk through Miami. We sure saw a lot today, a lot of neighborhoods I haven't been to, like Winwood and parts of downtown. Hope you enjoyed this live stream. Hit the like button, subscribe, and I will see you next time. Bye, everyone. Take it easy. See ya.
