I spoke with the man on the phone and he said he could replace the strings on a tallis that belonged to my husband's grandfather. My husband drove 25 minutes each way to have this done, and when he looked at it, he refused to replace the strings without any proper explanation other than to say that it was not a good enough shape to bury someone with. We are not interested in burying anyone, just using it for my daughter's mitzvah. He offered no assistance and where we might get this done when I spoke to him on the phone, he did not say anything about it, depending on the condition of the Tallis. The whole experience was very disappointing.

The store owner only had the kiddush cup . I told him I was 5 minutes away if he could please wait . He was extremely rude and said NO . I understand is the eve of Yom Kippur all he could have said was any other day but not today. But his rudeness was uncalled for specially during the Eve of Yom Kippur . Anyways I wish him I could tell he is the owner and his family a happy and healthy New Year. It's ashamed I was planning on replacing all 10 of my 10 scrolls of my Mezuzah's. I am glad I am buying them from him . I just called my Rabbi and he is getting them for me from the person he always gets them for his other members of the temple.

I was so incredibly lucky that I came across Joanna from Ft. Lauderdale Baskets & Gifts, who MORE than went the extra mile for me! She literally spent time googling my recipients to help find things to personalize their baskets with!! Her baskets were incredibly beautiful and well put together with high end items, yet the cost was extremely competitive. As if I wasn't happy enough with her (by the way, she delivered and carried the baskets into my office), when I ordered a second round of baskets, COVID-19 hit, and I didn't get to deliver them all when I had to abort the project and work from home. Joanna reached out to me to let me know that she would replace any food items that have gone bad so I wouldn't have to waste the baskets. This level of service, talent, and caring is something I thought wasn't available anymore. Thank you soooo much Joanna, and I look forward to using your company for years to come!!!

Extremely disturbing experience…read more I visited The Ancient Spanish Monastery with a friend expecting to pay the advertised $10 admission. We simply wanted to visit the property and take normal pictures of each other while we were there -- no professional photographer, no equipment, and no commercial photoshoot. I was told that because I was "well dressed," I would need to pay over $300 to take pictures. I explained very clearly that this was NOT a professional photoshoot. What disturbed me most was the explanation I was given: I was told that if I had come wearing jeans and a shirt, I would not be charged the additional fee, but because I was wearing a long dress, jewelry, and had my makeup done, I looked like I had money and therefore could afford to pay more. I also felt racially profiled during this interaction and extremely uncomfortable with the assumptions being made about me. A visitor's admission or photography fee should not be determined by how expensive an employee thinks they look, what they are wearing, or how much money an employee assumes they have. If there is a legitimate photography policy, it should be clearly published and applied equally to everyone based on what they are doing -- not based on their clothing, jewelry, makeup, race, or perceived financial status. I came expecting to enjoy a historic and religious site. Instead, I left feeling singled out, judged, and discriminated against. For this to happen at a place of religious significance made the experience even more disappointing.

What a waste of $25 (cost of tickets for 2). It took us 5 minutes to see the art and another 5 at…read morethe store. If you stand at the stores entrance and look in you see the whole museum for free, you're welcome! Honestly the art was good but it is ONLY that. I'm guessing they change exhibits, there was nothing about the museum itself or that talked about Art of HipHop in general. Their Graffiti museum was 20 times better.

Most of the limited floor space was dedicated to the artist Cey when I went. I probably wouldn't have even ventured over here but I got offered a discounted ticket as part of a twofer over at the Museum of Graffiti. That place is super cool but is similarly light on floor space. Maybe one day the two can combine and form like Voltron as Method Man said. Maybe add a breakdancing gallery and a bunch of other stuff. This isn't a bad little museum but for the money I can barely even recommend it as part of the combo with the Museum of Graffiti around the corner.

In all the years that I lived in Miami, I never once visited Viscaya; I live in shame. Mostly…read morebecause when you're local the mentality is, "why pay to see a fancy house? you can drive by coral gables or south beach and see them for free". I will say, the grounds are absolutely delightful, especially if you go in the Springtime as we did where flowers are all in full bloom, that alone is worth the ticket price. The architecture is exquisite! A feast for the eyes in so many ways. When we came to visit, they were doing renovations. You could see the water damage on the roof and walls, probably caused by one of the many Summer storms, because of that the tickets were at a discount that day but we were still able to appreciate the beauty of Viscaya. There are two cafe's. One in the garden of the main house, and another across the street where farm animals use to be kept. Surprisingly, the food and drinks are reasonably priced. The day we were there, a wedding was going to take place and there was a lot of commotion going on. Fancy tables being set up, fine china, crystal glasses, the whole works. We asked a security guard how much it costs to have a wedding reception there and he said: "Just to rent the space, no tables, no nothing, starting price is 100k". So if you have 100k lying around, and plan to get married soon, this could be an option for you. Jokes aside though; I'd definitely visit again.

The property and history is pretty amazing. As many other reviews have mentioned, a good portion of the rooms and structures are closed for renovations. They have reduced the entry to $20 from $25 but it still was a little disappointing that the casino building and several rooms in the house were closed. Being that it was the offseason, some of the gardens did seem to be past their peak. We hope to return when everything is open in season and tour the whole facility.

Visiting here for the first time during a summer trip in July, it was an accidentally found pleasure in a mall in the Design District - a place that has a blend of trendy shops/boutiques as well as casual restaurants - eateries. Haitian Heritage Museum is w/ in a quaint, intimate space towards the end of the mall-esque area. When you enter, you are gievn a warm greeting, HHM's history is explained, and then you are able to view the exhibit(s). The "Nostalgia Primitive D'Haiti" exhibit that was viewed started in the beginning of Haitian Heritage Month (May 2023) and ended in November 2023. The exhibition consisted of beautiful, colorful, vibrant oil on canvas paintings created in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Artists that included Dambreville, Dave Millevoix, Sully Obin, Rodrigue Richard, Frantzy, etc. Created artwork that depicted country life, everyday in all its beauty as well as painting of gorgeous people & landscapes. Two favorites are artist Rodrigue Richard's "Schoolyard Recess" & "Wedding Day." Absolutely Cool! HHM Hours of Operation - Tues. - Fri. 10am - 5pm Website - haitianheritagemuseum.org Instagram - @HaitianHeritageMuseum HHM also has Facebook & Twitter (X) pages. One can go onto HHM's website to check out their blog, to link to H.A.P.S.

We were warmly greeted once inside, given a brief introduction to the exhibition, and then began to look around. Sabrina Gustin's photography of La Sud or The South of Haiti was relatable and captivating. Yet, I wanted more. I am grateful that HHM exists and recognize the undeniable effort made to realize but also sustain this dream despite gentrification. However, I would love to see the growth of this museum's footprint over time given the magnitude of our contributions to Miami and the U.S. as a whole. Whenever I return to Miami, I will look forward to visiting HHM as part of the self-guided tour of Little Haiti Miami that I did not have the time to complete. Kenbe la HHM!

Fortunately, Art Wynwood was fully indoors. This was the first time I had been to Art Wynwood and I enjoyed seeing classic pieces from Latin American artists Wifredo Lam and Amelia Pelaez, pop and surrealist pieces from famous artists like Warhol and Dali, as well as contemporary pieces from lesser known artists around the world. I was really pleased that the show featured several local galleries showcasing local talent. Art Wynwood reminded me of a scaled down version of Art Miami, I thought it was very nicely produced and would love to go back next year.
