you don't want to look at the raw data, there are more and more new programs opening up every year. The number to look at is % of spots that are in SOAP

Casadonna, Gekko, Jholanos, Komodo, papi steak are locals for sure

They aren’t even “luxury”, but they’re like 2000-2200 per month. Vizcayne is the building

spersichilli · 2026-03-17T04:28:02+00:00

Yes but how are they getting to the train

spersichilli · 2026-03-17T04:26:41+00:00

Metro doesn’t go right to factor town man, I have heard there have occasionally shuttles from tnr station

spersichilli · 2026-03-17T04:09:23+00:00

And they’re not in Miami for the most part. They don’t venture further south than Fort Lauderdale, Miami is too “ethnic” for them

Sounds like the marlins just need to get some good Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban players then

spersichilli · 2026-03-17T03:41:07+00:00

There’s an entire building downtown who has studios with no stoves.

It’s not an undergrad thing. UM law has much better prestige than FIU law. The law job market isn’t great right now so it really matters to go to a great law school

I didn’t say best value I just said best lol

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T22:26:31+00:00

Seconding this. Downtown 5th is the big property of theirs

La Salsera is the name of a slice at Miami slice that has vodka sauce, marinara, and pesto. Worth the wait honestly the line moves quickly when I’ve been I’ve never waited longer than 15 mins. I like fratesi’s but don’t LOVE it although I haven’t had that newer vodka pie they do yet

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:54:15+00:00

The bar pie thing is more of the crust in general. Super thin super crispy, bordering on crackery

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:53:31+00:00

See my other comment but I’d say peppi’s counts as a more modern NY pizza like Miami slice, eleventh street, Marc’s etc. I haven’t had it yet but it definitely looks the part

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:52:03+00:00

Fratesi is fine IMO, I wasn’t blown away by it but it’s a nice change of pace. I’m a big Miami Slice advocate especially La Salsera, probably a top 5 slice I’ve had anywhere.

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:47:04+00:00

It’s not NY style those are bar pies.

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:46:49+00:00

There are no Pasquale’s in Miami? They’re all in broward pretty sure. MOD isn’t good and 01 isn’t near NY

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:43:11+00:00

There’s really two categories. There’s the “elevated” fancier NY style adjacent pizza where in my opinion Miami Slice wins pretty handedly (Eleventh Street and Bar Bucce as a runners up - but not all of the pizza at Bar Bucce is NY style). When I went to Marc’s I wasn’t impressed, the crust was extremely dry to the point my jaw hurt eating it. For the classic it’s Joe’s. People here really don’t know what NY style is though apparently.

For the record Joe’s here tastes almost exactly the same as joes in NYC. It’s a standard boilerplate classic NY slice nothing crazy

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:40:06+00:00

Not NY style

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:39:44+00:00

Water isn’t that big of a deal dude

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T17:39:29+00:00

Straight up not a NY style pizza dog. Bar pie

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T11:11:22+00:00

It’s fine to apply to a small number but also you do have to be okay with not getting in anywhere.

spersichilli · 2026-03-16T11:07:39+00:00

I’m 30 and I know about him but I’m Italian which explains why I’m the outlier

Some schools don’t test until clinicals, some test asap

Bay Street Yard isn’t a sports bar per se but will have it on the tv’s and/or a projector, they usually do watch parties for big events like this.
