Anil Melwani, CPA, is a native New Yorker who, although now based in Miami, visits his former hometown of NYC quite often. He is not only a CPA, entrepreneur, and investor, but also an enthusiast in fine dining, hospitality, music, and nightlife. On the "212 in the 305 podcast," Anil interviews interesting personalities who have not only transported their businesses, but also their personal and/or family lives from New York to South Florida.
Is dating better in NYC or South Florida? That’s the question we try to answer in Episode 18 - although we’re not sure either city comes out looking particularly good. 😂 My guest is my friend Maria Coletta, a Canadian-born Italian who spent several years living in New York City before trading NYC for Fort Lauderdale. Maria and I compare notes on dating in New York, Miami and Fort Lauderdale — the people, the personalities, the expectations, the apps, and much more!
Anil sits down with one of his very close friends from Las Olas, Anthony “Hollywood” Citera — and we have a great conversation about a little bit of everything. They talk food and restaurants, real estate in NYC and South Florida, life in Miami and New York, and plenty of stories and laughs along the way. But of course, we had to spend some serious time talking about what really matters… THE KNICKS! 🏀🗽 We break down the Knicks’ incredible championship run, what it meant to see New York finally get back to the top, and what comes next. And because no New York sports conversation is complete without some pain and optimism, we also dive into the New York Jets and the upcoming NFL season. 🏈 Great conversation with a great friend — and plenty of New York sports talk!
Anil sits down with Miami real estate broker Tania Guevara to talk about the realities of today’s South Florida market, what it takes to succeed in real estate, and the mindset behind building lasting relationships in a fast-moving industry. We dive into Tania’s journey, her perspective on the Miami market, advice for buyers and sellers, and the lessons she’s learned navigating one of the most competitive real estate cities in the country.
