Bloomingdale's

Category: Department Stores

11/16/2009

If you have never shopped at Bloomingdales before, I am surprised to say that there are some deals here. I recently purchased a winter coat at a considerable savings. I also noticed that at least for men's clothes, their inventory is quite different than the competitive stores in the mall.

Wynwood Car Wash

Category: Car Wash

Update - 11/16/2009

Wynwood Car Wash now has a brushless drive through machine for $6.00 to $9.00 (all the options). It's one of those new machines that cost about $100K according to the owner. They don't vacuum inside your car but the machine does a fantastic job and it's safe and easy because you never have to get out of your car. The attendant takes your money and feeds it into the machine for you.

This area of town is up can coming but you should still be careful during early/late evenings.

If you are looking for a $6.00 coin operated self-service car wash with a high pressure hose to ensure your car is sparking clean, the Wynwood Carwash is a great value. All you need is your own towels and window cleaner. Each wash cycle is $2.00 and usually it takes 2 cycles which includes a high pressure rinse and wax. The vacuum machines are $2.00 so that $6.00 for a hand washed car.

Their machines take one dollar coins only so you must go during their business hours. The change machine is new and reliable and takes large bills too.

They also offer hand wash and drive through services.

BTW, the large sign in front reads "Windwood Carwash", not "Wynwood Carwash"...only in Miami.

Toys R US

Category: Toy Stores

11/16/2009 1 photo First to Review

For the Holiday season, it's nice to see Toys R US open up a Holiday Express store in the Aventura Mall. It's not a full size store, but it's better than no store at all. A few years ago, the only toy store in the Aventura Mall closed. I didn't know that and it was so disappointing when I took my nephew and niece to the Aventura Mall and couldn't find a toy store in the mall. How disappointing!

Footaction USA

Category: Shoe Stores

11/16/2009 First to Review

The last time I went to this Footaction, the inventory was great and service just as good. The last time I was in this mall, I noticed they didn't have the latest basketball ball shoes in stock. Their competitor a few stores away had the newest shoes. That's very disappointing!

Patagonia Inc

Category: Sports Wear

11/16/2009

Patagonia has some of the best outdoor clothing and gear in the world. I have used their products for a very long time from my whitewater kayaking and rafting days until more more recent trip to Switzerland. Both their telephone and online/chat customer service are excellent! I've also found some great deals on their outlet website. I think some of their sizes run small so make sure you ask the sales person. I now live in Florida and our selection of outdoor clothing is very, very limited so mail order or online shopping has been a great option. Their 800 number is: 800-638-6464.

Ecco Shoes Aventura

Category: Shopping Centers

11/16/2009 First to Review

A great selection of Ecco Mens shoes in the Aventura Mall. Ecco shoes are great for traveling because they are comfortable and don't require a long break-in period. There is nothing worse then going on a vacation or business trip and getting blisters! These shoes are very popular in Europe.

Botequim Carioca

Category: Brazilian

11/12/2009

Great location across from the American Airlines Arena. I had a Cheeseburger which was very thick and juicy but the quality of the beef I thought was just okay. I had one draft beer and was not impressed by the amount in my glass, must have been 10oz or less. The service was less than average for MIA.

There is both outside and inside seating. Remember, it's across the street from the American Airlines Arena so parking is by meters or in one of the lots. We ate here a before a weekday Miami Heat game so it wasn't very crowded.
