re: Key West/Miami Suggestions

We don't have anything planned on things to do so I figure I would ask you all if you have any suggestions on things to do/eat/drink in the South Beach area as well as Key West and the surrounding areas/cities in the Keys?

The Just a Few Friends Festival is in its second year (?) and is a Jimmy Buffet kind of tribute every LBD weekend. It’s much better than the “meeting of the minds” that used to take place after fantasy fest.

Most of the suggestions hit all the top spots. Blue Heaven or Banana Cafe for breakfast (though I really enjoy dinner at BH as well)
Lattitudes is a decent lunch voyage. I often go to Pepe’s and then to the Bait Shop for a few. The Bait Shop is across from Half Shell. Day drinking has lots of options, Conch Farm has somehow gotten more tacky. My favorite is the Tree Bar mostly because of the people that hang there regularly like Big Ed from the Tuna or Jay “the bacon” man.
Hanks is decent, but it’s changed a lot. Smokin Tuna will be open 9/3 after a two year legal battle. It’s opening where Hard Rock used to be. I’m sure Cliff Cody will be playing all weekend.
