So I had a night out with the girls recently. Partying down on Miami Beach, us mild-aged gals looking for some variety of food and scenery. Despite getting a little lost a couple of times in downtown Miami (putting my love of public transportation in perspective when I realized I work banker’s hours and normally wouldn’t have to stand around at 11pm at night waiting for the last bus), it was a blast.

We were looking for Cuban food but ended up at a great little restaurant named Tap Tap. Sat out on the porch, and tried a little bit of everything: A goat stew, a roasted chicken, and some grilled conch. Yumm. One of the reviews for the restaurant calls it great and cheap but I must have a skewed view of cheap; it was still decent pricing for a delicious meal.

Got a few pictures walking around looking for food, too: a great fishy building, and a lot of for sale signs. The buildings are being kept up well, despite the economic downturn and property bubble implosion. Nice to get out and about with the ladies, too. I’ll have to remember Tap Tap next time we’re in the area (and keep looking for Cuban @ Miami Beach, too). The next day’s activity plan included hitting up the Maurice Gibb Memorial; if I’d realized at the time we were so close I would have joined them for that outing as well. Maybe next time.
