Canadian in Miami for Grey Cup and Thanksgiving

November 21, 2008 9:47 AM

Can anyone suggest a bar around Miami that will show the Grey Cup this Sunday? And what are some ways to experience S. Florida Thanksgiving?

Bonus marks if there's such thing as a Grey Cup party on an NFL Sunday.
I'm a Stamps fan, but would happily suck it up and watch with Montrealers.

This is also my first Thanksgiving in America. Would be grateful for suggestions on how to make the most of your holiday while I'm in Miami.

Thanks!

Most of the Canadian snowbirds in South Florida live and hang out in the Hollywood/Hallandale area (which is actually Broward, not Miami-Dade County) but it's a quick 20 to 30 minute drive (as long as you don't make the completely unwise decision to attempt this trip during rush hour.)

If you go downtown Hollywood, there is an Argentine-owned sports bar that usually shows most of the foreign matches. I don't remember the name of it but the downtown Hollywood strip is small enough that if you asked someone, they'd know.

I guess the most authentic thing to do for a South Florida Thanksgiving is to eat and then head to the beach with family. Late Thanksgiving day, you'll see lots of folks headed out to the beach for a stroll.
