Best Places to Visit in Daman within 2 Days – A Backpacker’s Itinerary

traveller Budget Wayfarers

Daman two day itinerary will not only help you visit the best places in town but will also ensure that your 2 days are utilised well. It will prove handy for people who are in Daman for a quick visit and need to relax.

 Daman is one of the most budget-friendly places in India. However, it’s underrated as a destination. Therefore if you’re planning a trip to this hidden gem, trust me, you will have a time of your life.

In my current blog on Daman two-day itinerary, I would make an endeavour to help fellow travellers plan their trip based on my own travel experience in the region a while back.

Daman Two Day Itinerary for Budget Travellers

For your ease of understanding and fulfilling travel experience, I have split the two days of my itinerary into 3 slots – morning to noon, noon to evening and evening to night.

This way, you can keep a track of the day’s progress in an efficient slot-wise manner.

The following is a daily slot wise breakdown of the Daman two Day Itinerary.

Daman Two Day Itinerary: Day 1

Day 1 of your Daman two-day itinerary should include a visit to a beach, exploring the forts and some shopping.

Daman Two Day Itinerary: Day 2

On the second day of your Daman two day trip, you should spend some time on the beaches and end your day with a musical night.

You can also check out this brief itinerary in this short video below.

Saving Money on your Daman 2 Day Itinerary

Daman as a travel destination is quite budget friendly if you travel there with the right mindset. Therefore, it is important that you do a bit of research on the region before visiting. 

Having stayed in Daman for a while, let me share some insights that I discovered on my own.

7 Amazing Places to Cover in Daman within 2 Days

Daman as a coastal town is home to a variety of historical monuments that were built by the Portuguese back in the 16th century. It also has some beautiful churches which are a reflection of the amazing architectural knowledge of Portuguese back in those times.

In order to ensure optimum utilisation of your time, it’s recommended that you stick to a pre-planned Daman two day travel itinerary. Here are the places that I highly insist you go visit.

1. Jampore Beach

Jampore Beach is the first place you should visit as per the Daman two day itinerary. It’s located about 5 kilometres from Moti Daman and is truly a haven of serenity.

What separates this beach from many other beaches in the country is that the sand here is somewhat blackish in colour . This makes its overall appeal quite unique.

If you’re in Daman during the off-season, you’ll find this beach less crowded and you can enjoy every moment in tranquillity .

However, if you’re in Daman during the weekends, you must expect a lot of tourists from nearby cities, who come here to sit back and enjoy their weekend.

Fun Things to Do at the Jampore Beach

You get to do a variety of things to do while at Jampore Beach. If you’re up for some thrill and adrenaline rush , you can go for Paragliding. There are also quad bike rides available if you’re more into motorized action.

They also have horse and camel rides, which are ideal if you have kids with you. You can have liquor or sweet coconut water, which is easily available at the beach tents.

The beach is also popular for its fresh and spicy seafood which is quite appetising.

If you like to play cricket, football, or volleyball, you can also have the time of your life playing it at Jampore Beach. The breeze, the waves, the sun, the smell of the seawater, and the sand squishing under your feet will make the whole experience a truly enjoyable and memorable one. I definitely recommend it.

Daman is an ideal destination for those who are looking forward to a relaxing time by the beach. It is also a great place for observing and admiring the Portuguese architecture in churches and appreciating the robust construction of forts that are standing tall even today. If nothing else, simply enjoying a few drinks at a bar with friends and family, is also what you can do.

2. Devka Beach

Devka Beach is a totally different type of beach as compared to the Jampore beach. It’s not a sandy beach as most people would expect.

It’s more of a rocky beach and isn’t ideal for surfing or bathing . However, you can walk on small rocks towards the sea and indulge in picking colourful shells on the way.

Devka Beach also offers an excellent rocky prospect for your photos if you want to fulfil your photography instincts. The view of waves crashing into the rocks is the one you can watch for a long time.

What all is available at Devka Beach?

Drinks and seafood are available at Devka Beach. Coconut water, light snacks, etc. Try the Ghotala there . It’s yummy.

It’s usually a quiet place where you can also meditate while sitting on the rocks, or simply enjoy the breeze with someone special along with some Ghotala .

Devka Beach is quite rocky but fun. As travellers, we should help keep it cleaner by volunteering for it. It’s high time we preserve the environment.

3. St. Jerome’s Fort

Also known as Nani Daman Fort by the locals, the Fort was completed in 1672. The Fort is situated next to the main fishing Jetty. It has 3 bastions with a huge statue of St. Jerome. The precincts of the Fort also house the church of Our Lady of the Sea

Just like the fancy destination of Goa , Daman too was under the Portuguese for a long period of time. Hence, the reflections in the architecture of buildings.

4. Moti Daman Fort

Also known as Governor’s Palace, Moti Daman Fort was built by the Portuguese in 1559. It has 10 bastions and 2 gateways and is shaped like a polygon with over 500 feet projection.

The most intriguing part about the fort is its historical structures.

It would be an injustice to the Daman two day itinerary if the great forts of Daman do not find a place in it. Constructed by the Portuguese, these forts are as robust as any other forts across the country.

Built-in the 16th Century, these are still standing in their full glory. Although time has taken a toll on their appearance, they still please tourists who visit them as they offer a very enthralling view of the sea.

Just inside the Moti Daman fort, there’s a beautiful church called the name Cathedral of Bom Jesu. You can also visit the church and explore and admire the intricacies of Portuguese architecture.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Rosary and the Church of Our Lady of Remedies are also worth a visit.

5. The Lighthouse

The lighthouse near the Moti Daman Fort was built by the Portuguese and is also one of the best places to visit if you want to have a panoramic view of Moti Daman, Nani Daman, the beach and the sea.

It’s an amazing place for photography enthusiasts as the location is quite vibrant. Also, the journey by road to the lighthouse is quite exciting as you drive parallel to the big walls of the fort, which are also lit up in different colours during the night .

The lighthouse is the best spot in Daman to enjoy a panoramic view of the nearby surroundings. It is located near the Moti Daman Fort. Built by the Portuguese, it is a sight to gape at in the day as well as at night. Photographers, don’t miss this place.

6. Daman Market

The Daman Market is a special and popular place amongst the tourists. As per my interaction with the locals, Daman Market has a wide range of things on sale from deodorants, perfumes, belts, watches, shoes, makeup for women, accessories, handbags to almost every other thing you can imagine.

You might ask what’s so “special” in that? But here’s the catch. If you have time and you hunt down the right shops, you can get imported products at a very cheap rate. I suggest you go shopping when you have a whole afternoon up to your sleeve, as it’s quite a time demanding a place to be in.

Street shopping in Daman is fun. Daman is famous for its leather products and wonderful handicrafts. Do buy a pair of leather slippers or woven bamboo baskets, etc, from these markets.

7. Live Musical Night at Hotel Miramar

Hotel Miramar is located in the Bhimpore area of Daman. It’s a lovely hotel which hosts live performances of professional singers and performers for the people on weekends.

The best part is, that you get to experience the melodious night near the beach. The breeze, the drinks, the food and the soulful performances scale up the overall ambience. It truly moves your soul and leaves you in euphoria.

What all is available?

Drinks, a variety of cocktails, vegetarian food and seafood.

A variety of cocktails, seafood and entertainment are the unique features at Hotel Miramar. Try and spend an evening here. In addition to its culinary surprises, you will be treated to the tunes of some great artists. Miramar guarantees you a good time.

Daman Two Day Itinerary: Got Some S pare Time?

If you manage to get extra time after visiting all the places from your Daman two day itinerary, you can visit the Devka Amusement Park .

It’s a fun place located by the Devka beach with quite a few rides and attractions, which would be greatly enjoyed by kids. There are also food stalls serving snacks that you can savour while enjoying the view of the sea.

I recommend this place, especially to those who are travelling with kids . They will surely be thankful to you for taking them here.

1. Jampore Beach

Parking is free.

Limited spots are available in proximity to the Jampore beach (i. e. where the actual beach started).

• Leisure activities (Walking/Jogging/Relaxing on the beach watching Sunset)

The best part we love about is that you can drive along the beach for 4 km (10 min drive) takes you from Jampore Beach all the way up to Moti Daman fort & Jetty, the famous lighthouse & ends at ‘I Love Daman’ sign.

Considering the road is a beach view provided with a footpath for walking & jogging along with sitting areas to watch the sunset from anywhere & the other side of the road there is an array of ‘She-Oak’ trees. Isn’t it lovely? It looks magical after sunset when the streetlights turned ON.

2. Moti Daman Fort & Fort Garden

If you are into history, there is so much to explore & see at this place, as it was built in the 16th century takes you into the era of Portuguese colonies that lasted for over 450 years in Daman. 

It’s an old Fort, with a huge defensive compound wall made up of stones covering 30,000 sq. meters. of areas making a pentagon-like shape if you look at the drone shots or google maps. You can climb up and walk on the wall, to get panoramic views of the beach, fort, Jetty & lighthouse, etc.

The fort is now the address of many important Government offices, including, District & session court of Daman, Daman Municipal Council, Administration department of Diu & Daman, Secretariat office, National Informatics, Post Office, District library, Forest Department, and their servant bungalows/houses.

Tourists are allowed to enter and see the surroundings, as there are some tourist attractions like Dominican Monastery, Bom Jesus Church, and the lighthouse inside the Fort. It’s remarkable that the fort & old buildings have been preserved & are still in their original shape.

Fort Garden

Nirman Diwas 2021

We visited daman on its ‘1st Anniversary of Nirman Diwas on 26th January 2021’ , where the entire Fort has been decorated with flowers and lightings, there were special events like – Flower show, Sand Art, Flea Market, Book Fest, Light & Sound Show, Heritage Exhibitions, Contest & Fireworks.

Locals participated, came with their families, it was no less than a fest! It was a great opportunity for us to see a glimpse of their culture & local art. We thoroughly enjoyed that evening!

Are you interested to read more about Nirman Diwas ? Why & How it is to be celebrated? What we have seen there?

We have so many pictures for you to get the feeling of being there…

3. Lighthouse, Moti Daman Beach, Jetty Garden (Jetty De Damao Grande)

What if, you get a beach, lighthouse & fort all in one frame!!! I have this third most favorite attraction in Daman for you!.

Whenever I see a lighthouse on any beach, it seizes my attention, and here’s a Navy Blue and White-colored multi-story lighthouse is no less. It has that vintage charm to impress you. Look how beautiful it looks in the daytime as well as at night.

Moti Daman Beach & Jetty

Moti Daman Beach is where there is Daman Ganga River meets the Arabian Sea! We kinda liked this beach because from this point, many attractions are nearby and you will get the best views of Nani Daman Jetty, St. Jerome Fort, Jetty De Damao Grande, Rajiv Gandhi Setu, Lighthouse & the Moti Daman Fort of course!

As you all know, all beaches in Daman are either of black sand or muddy types but here on Moti Daman Beach we saw white sands, it is possibly because they level up by outsourcing white sand and made it attractive.

On ‘Nirman Diwas 2021’ they made stunning sand art on this beach. In the evening, many people gather here to watch the sunset, enjoy adventure water sports, and click pictures. It’s a nice sight to see many boats resting on the Moti Daman Jetty.

Jetty Garden (Jetty De Damao Grande)

People come here to take groupies/selfies with the famous ‘I Love Daman’ signboard placed near Moti Daman Jetty. Photo with this iconic board is a must if you visit daman. 

It gets illuminated in the night. You will find this Jetty Garden as you exit from Moti Daman Fort from the Jetty side.

4. St. Jerome Fort/Nani Daman Fort & Jetty

Do you know how Daman gets divided into two parts? It’s a Daman Ganga River that cuts through Daman to meet the Arabian Sea, divides Daman into Nani Daman & Moti Daman. We talked about Moti Daman in previous paragraphs, here’s you will find everything about Nani Daman Jetty & St. Jerome Fort also known as Nani Daman Fort.

Nani Daman offers a beach for fishing & leisure activities, ample hotels, most of them are pocket-friendly, restaurants serving local cuisines & all kinds of shopping markets, where you can see how the local people live here.

Jerome Fort is the highlight of Nani Daman and comes under must-see destinations. It appears as an outpost from the Portuguese era spread over 12250 Sq. meters protected by high stone walls on which you can stand and take a walk along with the fort.

With three bastions, and two gates, inside the fort premises, there is a small vintage church called ‘The Church of our Lady of the Sea’, a School which is still working, an old cemetery, and a large playground.

Welcomed by a big old-fashioned entrance gate made up of stone opened on the riverside. If you watch closely, you’ll observe some sculptures, grave images, inscriptions carved on them. There is a big Christian holy cross on the top-middle and two crosses on both sides. 

A unique symbol just below the holy cross and on both sides of the door, then there is a statue of St. Jerome, inscriptions carved on the wall, which I guess some biblical message but the language & meaning is unknown to me, there are identical human figures on either side of the door with weapons in their hands (I suppose, they are guarding the Fort) and just above them, there is an identical lion on each side. That’s how the entrance of St. Jerome Fort exactly looks like. Isn’t it captivating?

Take a walk on the rampart and enjoy the views of the surrounding fish market, fishing boats anchored along the jetty, the lighthouse, and the Daman Ganga River.

There is nothing much to do here, we visited the Fort early morning, when school was going on, but the church was closed. We did some photography, wandered all over the fort, and left.

Visit here in the evening before sunset, when food stalls & fast-food joints have settled along the jetty. Do not forget to try their famous Jetty Rolls and enjoy the sunset.

Entry fee: Free

Visiting time: All day 8 AM to 6 PM

Parking: You can temporarily park your vehicle near the walled compound of Nani Daman Jetty, in front of the fort with free of cost.

5. Devka Beach & Go Amazica Amusement Park

Many black rocks spread over the beach and the waves are way inside, you need to walk on those rocks just to touch the water, which didn’t excite us.

When we visited this beach in Jan-2021, there was some construction work going on the shorelines, which may happen to be a similar development to that of Jampore Beach.

The only reason behind its popularity is its location, which is away from the city and crowded attractions offer tourists serene atmosphere & privacy here. Some beachfront hotels got direct access to the beach.

You will be spoilt for choices to stay in from budgeted to extravagant hotels located on both sides of Devka Beach Road.

Devka Amusement Park (Go Amazica Amusement Park):

Just like adults, kids get bored of routine, schools & other stuff, they also need enjoyment when you all go out for a family vacation, right?

Thankfully, there are a lot of fun things to do in Daman for kids, from camel and Pony rides in Jampore beach, water rides in Mirasol garden to adventure rides in ‘Go Amazica Amusement Park’ near Devka Beach.

It is located opposite the famous Devka beach, where you can spend an evening time on the beach and after sunset go for adventure rides in the park.

Park timing:

Monday-Saturday: 4 PM – 9.30 PM

Sunday: 11 AM- 1.30 PM & 3 PM – 9.30 PM

There is no designated parking in front of the amusement park, but you can park your vehicle alongside Devka Road without upsetting the traffic.

OR park in an open space at the entrance of Devka Beach and walk down here.

6. Mirasol Lake Garden & Water Park

If you are looking for offbeat holidays in Daman, away from beaches, Mirasol Lake Garden & Water Park is the place where you come, relax and soak in nature, enjoy water rides & children play activities like mini trains, pedal swan ride, boating in their manmade lake of 12 acres, beautifully designed with lush garden and trees.

It is the best choice for a fun-filled family retreat. In addition to all of this, they also have a lakeside restaurant, bar & lounge along with accommodation facilities. They also provide an arrangement for a destination wedding as well as business meetings.

7. Dominican Monastery

Portuguese came to India, ruled here for over 450 years, and left behind their rich architectural style, carvings in the form of churches that they built. Like other churches in Daman, Dominican Monastery is a proven example of their architectural skills in terms of well-designed doorways, pillars, altars & ceilings.

If you visit now, you will find the only remains are their arches and walls, as it is believed to be destroyed by an earthquake. We also learned that this monastery has been globally recognized and valued, as many catholic scholars around the world came here for theological studies as a part of priestly novitiate.

Till today this place has religious importance in the catholic community, as they gather here for holy mass prayers & to reminiscence the history.

Dominican Monastery is a part of Moti Daman Fort, 10 min walk from Bom Jesus Church. Get the best views of the monastery from the fort walls. Do not miss this place while you are here, however finding the address is a little trickier. It is open till sundown.

8. Cathedral of Bom Jesus Church

As I mentioned, the Cathedral of Bom Jesus Church is also one of the best testaments of Portuguese Art, that will make you fall in love with it.

This 1600’s church is famous for its detailed carvings and worth your visit. There are few churches inside the Moti Daman Fort, but Bom Jesus Church is more famous among tourists. Decorated doorways & stunning interiors will blow your mind, that’s our guarantee!

9. Maharaja Market / Mercado J. M. Falcao De Carvalho

Do not miss this very old shopping market called ‘Mercado J. M. De Carvalho’ built-in 1879, now known as ‘Maharaja Market’ located in the city center of Nani Daman. It is having an array of small outlets under one roof, crowded with people, little congested to freely roam around.

You will find a wide collection of Fashion & Beauty products, Jewelry, Clothing, Electronic items, Belts, Watches, Sunglasses, Bags & wallets, Imported/Foreign goods (maybe 1st copy) are available at reasonable prices. However, you must have good bargain skills to shop here. We doubted the quality of products, so only bought some assorted chocolates. It’s a nice place to stroll & do some window shopping.

10. Church of Our Lady of the Sea

You can’t miss this church while wandering around Nani Daman Fort, because as you enter the fort, this church instantly catches your attention. Representing a very old Portuguese style church, located in the premises of St. Jerome Nani Daman Fort, famous as ‘The Church of our Lady of the Sea’.

According to our itinerary for 2 days in Daman , these are the top 10 famous places that you must visit while you are here.

Places to visit in Daman and practical tips

Sharing is caring!

Daman is one of those places, which was on my radar for quite some time and finally I managed to visit it during one of my Mumbai trips. Diu and Daman are one union territory despite the distance. Daman is one of the popular watering holes for people from Surat and other nearby places in Gujarat. The resorts come alive in this sleepy town over the weekends with the tourists from Gujarat. If you are visiting here than there are a few places to visit in Daman, which can be easily seen in 2 days.

Where is Daman

Daman is 175 Km from Mumbai and 125 Km from Surat in Gujarat. Daman is surrounded by Gujarat on 3 sides and has Gulf of Khambat on its western side.

Though Diu and Daman are one Union territory though they are separated by Gulf of Khambat. The aerial distance between two is 200 Km but as there is no boat service so one has to travel 660 Km by road in Gujarat to reach from Diu to Daman and vice versa. So, practically it’s not advisable to visit Diu and Daman in one trip. Diu can be combined with a trip to Dwarka, Somnath and Gir national park .

How to travel from Mumbai to Daman

Daman is a place where you can spend a few days away from hustle and bustle of the city life of Mumbai. Or if you are in Mumbai then it is worth visiting because it’s a 3-hour driving distance away.

Mumbai to Daman by road

By road in a car or taxi is the most convenient way to travel from Mumbai to Daman. You don’t need to book and plan a lot of things for the trip. Drive on NH 48 from Mumbai to Vapi and from Vapi take a left turn for Daman.

Road conditions are very good and it will take 3 Hrs 30 minutes. On the way, you can stop at Vithal Kamath or may be Mcdonald. I avoid food chains if there are other options.

Mumbai to Daman by bus

There are several private buses from different parts of Mumbai to Daman, even Gujarat state transport operates some buses.

Most of these buses go to Surat or Ahmedabad or other parts of Gujarat and drops you on the highway most likely at Fortune Galaxy square. The buses options from Mumbai are more in the evening as compared to the morning. Check the Makemytrip’s website for bus schedule as they have several options in comparison to Redbus. Auto-rickshaws are available at the dropping point in Vapi for Daman.

Mumbai to Daman by train

There is no railway station in Daman and the nearest station of Vapi is 13 Km. Traveling by train is the most economical and convenient way to travel from Mumbai to Daman.

There are several trains from Mumbai to Vapi and take between 2 to 3 hours. It is very convenient to travel to Daman from Vapi as taxis and auto-rickshaws available outside the railway station.

I traveled by train from Mumbai and taken an autorickshaw from Vapi railway station, it cost me 150 INR till Daman town. If you go to Devka beach than auto-rickshaw will charge 200 INR. A taxi will cost 250 to 300 INR. You have to bargain for these prices.

Shared taxis are also available at Vapi railway station and they charge 30 INR per person.

What to expect in Daman and practical tips

* If you want to swim in the sea or expected the sandy beaches of Goa then don’t go to Daman. There are rocks on the beach hidden in water and sand is blackish.

* Daman is a laid back town where fresh seafood is available aplenty at a reasonable price.

* There are several bars in Daman city infect every hotel has a bar. The price of is alcohol is cheaper in Daman.

* Other than non-vegetarian food, Gujarati food items, and thali is easily available in Daman.

* You can take a taxi for sightseeing in Daman but most of the places are within a few Km. An autorickshaw is a cheap and convenient option.

* If you are not staying at Jampore or Devka beach than leave the place early if you don’t have a vehicle. It is difficult to get auto rickshaw after sunset.

* The vehicles entering Vapi from Daman are checked thoroughly at check-post for alcohol. Make sure you don’t have any alcohol in your bag because Gujarat is a dry state and this can land you in trouble. Even some of the auto-rickshaws make you change into another auto-rickshaw with the number plate of Gujarat at the border to avoid the checking hassle. While going from Vapi to Daman there is no such issue.

* If you prefer peace and non-crowded places then visit Daman during weekdays because weekends attracts tourist from the neighboring state of Gujarat. This is a popular watering hole and party place for Gujarati people.

Map of Daman’s tourist places

Popular tourist places in daman.

Daman is divided into two parts, Nani Daman and Moti Daman. The meaning of Nani is small and Moti is big. Interestingly now the Nani Daman is bigger in comparison to Moti Daman. Most of the old buildings and other heritage places are in Moti Daman, which was developed by Portuguese rulers.

Jampore beach

This is one of the most popular and cleanest beaches of Daman. It is slightly outside the main city and market area of Daman.

There are several shacks in line along the beach, where fresh seafood of all types is available at a decent price. The shack owners will show you the fresh catch and after price confirmation, you can get it cooked as per your choice of spices.

These shacks have liquor license also, so you will get a beer and other alcoholic drinks here. Though the price of alcohol is higher in shacks as compared to what you will get in the market area.

Jampore beach in Daman is popular for water sports activities like parasailing, banana boat, jet ski, etc. The horse riding and horse cart riding are also popular activities on this beach. On weekends beach comes alive from the morning though on weekdays crowds are lesser.

Devka beach

This is another popular beach in Daman. The water sports activities are also available on Devka beach though lesser in comparison to Jampore beach. There are several shacks on the beach serving seafood, non-vegetarian food, and alcohol.

There are many resorts near the Devka beach.

One thing which I didn’t like about Devka beach is that the water retreats inside the sea during low tide. The seawater goes 500 to 800 meters inside the sea and the area looks don’t look like a beach. It becomes muddy and rocky. Due to this Devka beach is not suitable for swimming.

Nani Daman Fort / St Jerome Fort

This is a small fort near the jetty. The gate of the fort is still impressive but there is nothing much to see inside the fort. The fort is nothing in comparison to the other Portuguese forts in Diu or Goa . Still, it is an interesting place to visit when in Daman. The view from the top of the fort is nice.

Moti Daman Fort

This fort is bigger as compared to the Nani Daman fort and situated across the Daman Ganga river. The two forts are 4 km apart and Moti Daman fort can be reached by crossing the Rajiv Gandi Setu.

Jetty Garden

This recreational garden is next to the Moti Daman fort and a nice place for picnics. The Jetty garden remains busy in the evening with local crowds, who come here to spend some leisure time. The swings and other activities playing activities are available for kids.

Light House of Daman

The lighthouse is next to the fort and can be seen from Nani Daman beach area also. It is better to visit it around sunset time because during the day it is hot and humid.

Bom Jesus Church

This church is smaller in comparison to the churches of Goa . This church is not grand in size but the alter of the church is beautiful with intricate wood carvings and golden work.

Daman Jetty

Mirasole Lake garden

This lake garden has lots of plants and trees. There are food stalls and restaurants are inside the lake garden. A small toy train inside the park is very popular among children for joy rides. The garden has a water park, which is very popular among locals and tourists.

Places to stay in Daman

There are hotels for every budget in Daman. Most of the hotels are near the market area in Nani Daman, whereas resorts are away from the city. The places which are away from Daman city are within 8 to 10 Km of Nani Daman market.

Here are some of the best places to stay in Daman depending on what kind of accommodation you are looking for. Just keep in mind that room tariff increases on weekend and the same room is available at a much cheaper price on weekdays.

Hotel Gurukirpa is situated in the main market area of Nani Daman and 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. The main advantage of staying here is that it is in the market area and there are plenty of eating joints around it. The restaurant in the hotel serves good food. It is a medium budget hotel.

Cidade de Daman , Gold beach resort and Mirasol beach resort near Devka beach are good 4-star resorts in Daman near the beach.

The Deltin is another good 4-star resort near NH 185 though it is away from the beaches of Daman and market area. If you want to spend time in the resort relaxing than it is a nice place to stay.

Places to eat in Daman

There are several big and small eating joints in Daman. Most of the smaller ones are in the market of Daman or are unnamed shacks on the beaches.

The bigger restaurants with proper sitting arrangements are mostly in hotels and resorts.

The most popular restaurants are Gurukripa restaurant in a hotel of the same name, Spice Galleon in The gold beach resort, and Hotel Miramar. Veera da Dhaba is another popular place to eat, they serve Punjabi food and also installed mannequins showing the village culture of Punjab.

After my trip to Daman, I can say that is not one of those places, which can offer you anything special or spectacular. Still, it is a nice place to relax if you don’t want to do anything. If you are from Gujarat and looking for some drinks then this is the place for you. If you are in Mumbai and already visited Alibaug than head to Daman for a relaxing weekend.

On the west coast of India, tucked between Maharashtra and Gujarat is the tiny city of Daman – the capital of newly merged union territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.

Daman is just a perfect place for whiling away some lazy hours. Located within a short distance from Mumbai and Surat, it gets busy on weekends. Known as a drinking den due to the cheap availability of alcohol which flows at every corner, you can see crowds going crazy. As Gujarat is a dry state, people frequently visit Daman in high spirits to get boozed out.

But Daman is not only about alcohol, nightlife, parties, and resorts. We have seen a beautiful side of this lovely enclave. The coastal town is home to a variety of historical monuments and some beautiful churches, which reflect the architectural skills of the Portuguese. Walking the roads of Daman is a sheer delight if you have an eye for photography, where your pictures will exhibit the history and marvels of the vintage old buildings.

A LITTLE ABOUT OUR RIDE

Leaving the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway at Charoti Naka, we turn left towards Dahanu Beach, around 22 km. Riding a motorcycle on a highway and internal village roads is a different experience. We enjoy the ride more when it passes through farms, seeing men and women working in the fields, village houses, and old trees guarding the road with their shades and cattle passing by. All these give a good feeling of being on the road.

We stopped at the Dahanu beach to soak in the serenity. And to give a much-needed break to the motorcycle engine. The ride from Dahanu to Bordi Beach is coastal. The sea stayed with us as we cruised between casuarina trees.

After 30 minutes of the ride, we reached Gholvad , one of the last villages of Maharashtra, before crossing over to Gujarat. While in Gholvad, we saw the vast chikoo orchards amidst the ancient Parsi-Irani bungalows.

Bordi Beach is only 2 km away, which is less crowded as compared to Dahanu Beach.

When in Bordi, visit Chikoo Parlour on Gholvad-Bordi Road and try their variety of sweets, ice creams, milkshakes, etc., made from fresh farm chikoos.

Daman is around 50 km from Bordi. As we entered Daman, the landscape revealed a burst of colonial houses, churches, and vibrant official buildings.

On the outskirts of Moti Daman Fort, The Church Of Our Lady Of Remedios catches attention. The 17th-century engravings of the main altar captivate the senses and radiate an old-world charm. Observing the church feels like exploring Daman’s rich colonial past.

We ended day 1 of our ride after attending the Good Friday mass in the Church of Bom Jesus. The long-standing church completed in 1603 witnessed a large gathering to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

THE 3 BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN DAMAN

MOTI DAMAN FORT & NANI DAMAN FORT

MIRASOL LAKE GARDEN

• UDVADA – THE HOLY SHRINE

The Damangana creek bifurcates Daman into Nani Daman (Little Daman) and Moti Daman (Big Daman). We could count the colorful fishing vessels moored on either side of the creek. It was a beautiful sight of fishing boats with colored flags having a siesta on the jetty. At the confluence where the Damanganga River merges with the Arabian Sea, the twin forts are each built on the opposite banks of the river.

MOTI DAMAN FORT – The main street of the Moti Daman fort runs from the land gate to the sea gate and houses the famous Church of Bom Jesus , Chapel of Our Lady of Rosary , and the most visited by tourists during sunset – The Lighthouse . The walk inside the fort gave us an experience of the bygone era. It has a large number of cannons beautifully designed with note-worthy carvings. Some part of the fort needs restoration. Old buildings converted into government offices have retained their architecture. There are a few pretty colorful houses with thatched slate roofs. We enjoyed doing photography here.

There are some old trees and well-maintained gardens which attract birdlife. We spotted the kingfisher, baya weaver, drongo, flycatcher, chattering mynas, and rosy bulbuls. It took us 2 hours to explore just the outer ramparts of the fort, which sprawls over an area of about 30,000 sq m giving spectacular viewòs of Nani Daman Fort, Damanganga Creek, Football Ground, and Jampore Beach .

Near the sea gate of the fort, there is a pedestrian bridge that connects the two forts. Standing in the middle of the bridge, feeling the breeze, and watching the Damangana River merge with the sea is best enjoyed when the sun goes down.

NANI DAMAN FORT – Surrounded by towering stone walls, this 17th-century small Portuguese fort looks pretty from a distance, with hundreds of boats moored beneath it. At its entrance from the jetty side, the statue of St. Jerome set above the arch of the gate looks beautiful. This fort is also known as St. Jerome Fort. It houses the impressive Church of Our Lady of Sea , counted as the most sacred place of worship. The old church was getting ready for the midnight mass to celebrate Easter – the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The excellent altar with superb paneling was getting decorated with flowers. The ramparts of this fort gave a clear view of the fish market and made for a good walk over the elegant stone walls.

We decided to spend the evening at this beautiful and well-maintained lake garden in Kadaiya village. The alluring natural surroundings were a surprise treat that helped us shun our weariness and revived our lost energies after a day-long exploration of forts.

A toy train runs around the garden, which is serene and peaceful, surrounded by a gorgeous and clean lake. It is a popular picnic location among locals and tourists alike. In the back, there is a water park. But since we are not resort-type travelers, we kept ourselves on this tiny island watching the swans, turtles, and fishes swim in the lake, the sun pouring its golden smile through the palm trees, happy and smiling faces of kids enjoying the toy train ride, couples and families spending some lovely moments in a boat ride. These simple and little things made us happy.

As the sun sets, this man-made marvel gets enlightened with colorful lighting that enhances its beauty. To see a boat pass under the bridge, through the lighted fountains and swans swimming behind is a visual delight.

The Mirasol Lake Garden has also been used for film productions. It is evident from the photos displayed in the lake restaurant of the crew members of the popular TV serial ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chasma.’

If you do not wish to eat in the multi-cuisine restaurant inside the lake garden, there is a food stall opposite the entry gate serving snacks like maggie, sandwiches, and pakoras.

UDVADA -THE HOLY SHRINE

Udvada should definitely be on your bucket list. Although geographically located in Gujarat, it is only around 15 km from Daman. Udvada is a sleepy coastal town and sacred place for the Parsi communities as it is the abode of Shreeji Paak Iranshah.

Udvada Atash Behram – the oldest Zoroastrian fire temple in India, is situated here. People outside the Zoroastrian community are restricted from entering the temple. But that shouldn’t stop you from exploring this peaceful place.

The owner of the Udwada Bakers – a bakery shop opposite the temple informs us that the earliest Zoroastrians settled in Udvada centuries ago when they arrived in India. And this is their most revered temple. Leaving Mumbai long ago, he settled down here to live a slow-paced life. And summarizing his journey in short, he somehow managed to sell us  macaroons  and  mawa cake  that we happily munched on.

The architecture and design of the temple is very much impressive. We spend time ambling along the deserted and picturesque streets, photographing the old houses and sprawling bungalows. We marveled at the ancient architecture of the town. Quaint houses with wooden railings and sloped roofs are admirable. Few of the old house even had a well in the forecourt.

Udvada is a place where time stands still. It is still untouched and unexplored and devoid of much commercialization. It has a beach which can be accessed by entering any of the bylanes of the fishermen community.

WHERE WE STAYED

Our home stay R J VILLA FARMHOUSE in Bhimpore was located in a very silent and peaceful location. Mornings were greeted with birdsong and sun-rays peeped in through the windowpane.

The other morning we woke up to the meowing call of a peacock. I opened the window, and there it was, gracefully perched on the top of an old wall of a dilapidated structure. It flew and came down to join a flock of herons busy looking for their prey in a stagnant pond. Being a solitary kind, the peacock distanced himself from herons and joined his mate under a tree, and they both started forming a circle until a dog came and chased them away.

A kingfisher perched on a tamarind tree was watching the herons closely. I think he wanted to make sure the pond inhabited some prey before he dived in. The noisy and chattering babblers entered the morning scene disturbing the serenity of the place foraging from one tree to another. And the kingfisher flew to find some better place.

It was time to ride back home again with pleasant memories of yet another joyous road trip.

Best places to visit in may 2024.

With its pleasantly warm weather and thinned crowds, May is the perfect time to take a trip before the expensive summer season. Considering sights, weather, traveler sentiment and annual events (among other factors), U.S. News rounded up the best places to visit in May. Whether you're looking for an outdoor adventure in a national park, a quick Memorial Day getaway or a leisurely beach vacation , you can't go wrong with these destinations. Vote for your favorite locales below to help determine next year's list.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Laguna beach, st. vincent & the grenadines, victoria & vancouver island, yellowstone national park.

When May comes around in Bryce Canyon National Park, the snow is nearly gone, which means the park's main road and popular trails are likely to be open. Highs are typically in the 60s during the day, too – ideal conditions for hiking and biking this Utah park's paths. Visitor numbers start to ramp up this month, but it's still early enough in the season that you're unlikely to have to jostle for a view at the popular Bryce Point, which overlooks Bryce Amphitheater, a landscape of otherworldly rock spires (called hoodoos).

This Portuguese island chain in the Atlantic Ocean offers a little bit of everything for active travelers, from geoparks and waterfall hikes to paragliding. Though the weather here is always a bit unpredictable, the chances of wind and rain are lower in May. The water temperature also begins to warm up for must-do activities like snorkeling or swimming with dolphins, and with fewer swells than the winter months, beginner surfers will feel more comfortable trying to hang ten. As an added bonus, the biggest festival in the Azores – the Feasts of Santo Cristo dos Milagres – typically occurs in May.

Travelers looking for a vacation filled with unique and heart-pumping activities should set their sights on Cappadocia. This mountainous region in central Turkey is home to a UNESCO-listed national park, centuries-old underground cities, ancient cave dwellings, magnificent rock formations and more. Plus, thanks to average temperatures in the 60s and 70s in May, activities like soaring high above the Göreme Valley on a hot air balloon tour and driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle past fairy chimneys couldn't be more pleasant.

As one of the warmest and driest times of year in Palawan, May welcomes travelers with open arms. Take advantage of the minimal rainfall by experiencing all of the outdoor activities and attractions that this Philippine island has to offer –spoiler alert, there are a lot. Spend time relaxing on Palawan's white sand beaches, island-hopping or even swimming with gentle whale sharks. Water sports are popular in this destination as well, from diving Tubbataha Reef to kayaking El Nido's Big Lagoon.  

Visiting Granada, Spain, in May is a no-brainer. Average temperatures in the mid-70s, blooming flower displays (at Generalife Gardens) and a full roster of events make this Andalusian city a must-visit in the spring. Día de la Cruz and Feria del Corpus Christi, two of the city's most popular celebrations, are both held in May, and travelers won't want to miss seeing Granada come alive with music, flamenco dancers and more. Save time during your trip for a guided tour of the Alhambra and strolling through the Albaicín neighborhood.

May falls within this Peruvian city's winter season, though you probably wouldn't notice thanks to its consistently mild temperatures (highs hover in the 60s). This month rarely sees rain showers, and you'll encounter fewer tourists at archaeological wonders like La Catedral – which sits in the restaurant- and coffee shop-filled Plaza de Armas – and Machu Picchu – a bucket list destination and UNESCO World Heritage Site located about 50 miles northwest of Cusco. If you're up for a challenge, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. This difficult trek through the area's towering mountains takes about four days to complete.

With 33 beaches, this eastern Caribbean island is a sun worshipper's dream, and May temperatures in the upper 70s and 80s are perfect for basking on its white sands . Spend warm days venturing to offshore cays, exploring fishing villages and watching yacht races during the Anguilla Regatta, typically held every May. Since this is the start of the island's rainy season, the weather can be wetter and more humid than the winter months, but visitors will be rewarded with cheaper accommodations. 

May is a great time for a trip to this seaside Spanish city before the heat and humidity become unbearable. Can't-miss architectural marvels to check out include Antoni Gaudí's whimsical Park Güell and the Gothic-style Sagrada Família. Budget time for visiting some of Barcelona's highly regarded museums, such as the Picasso Museum, and relax at Barceloneta beach before stopping at a nearby seafood restaurant for some of the best paella in the city. What's more, the city plays host to a number of events come May, including film and music festivals

Craggy coastline views, a world-famous aquarium and a superb farm-to-table dining scene draw tourists of all types to Monterey, California. Though temperatures here remain in the 60s for most of the year, rainfall drops significantly in May. Popular festivals also make this a great time of the year to visit. Come early in the month for the Pacific Grove Good Old Days Street Festival, which showcases local artisans and craft vendors, plus a variety of food booths. And near the end of the month, the three-day California Roots Music & Arts Festival celebrates reggae artists.

Visit Laguna Beach for a perfect sunny-and-70, laid-back beach vacation. May is part of this Southern California town's spring shoulder season, so you'll find fewer people on popular stretches of sand like Main Beach and Crescent Bay Beach. Plus, the quieter month is ideal for relaxation-focused activities, such as outdoor yoga and hiking. When travelers need a break from reconnecting with themselves or nature, they can check out Laguna Beach's thriving art scene, which includes hundreds of galleries, studios and public works of art.

Bright turquoise water, gorgeous white sand and lush green vegetation await vacationers in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Composed of 32 islands and cays, this Caribbean archipelago is perfect for a tropical getaway. May falls between the country's peak winter season and its hurricane-prone low season, making it an ideal time for scuba diving and snorkeling in the Tobago Cays Marine Park, swimming and soaking up some rays at Canouan's beaches and hiking to beautiful waterfalls like Dark View Falls. Travelers will also want to check out the country's 20-acre Botanical Gardens, the oldest available in the Western Hemisphere.

Victoria, British Columbia's capital city, sits on the southern portion of Vancouver Island. Not only does this Canadian destination boast comfortable highs in the low 60s in May, it is just a short ferry ride from Seattle (less than three hours), making it perfect for a quick weekend getaway . Spend your visit strolling through the 55-acre Butchart Gardens, which are bursting with colorful tulips and cherry blossoms come May, then get out on the water on a whale watching tour. Before heading home, don't forget to shop for souvenirs along Government Street.

Considered the birthplace of democracy and drama, Athens boasts a historical legacy that is hard to top. The main reason to visit is to see the ancient city's impressive ruins, which you'll find at the Acropolis and Ancient Agora. For an additional look at Athens' past, check out the incredible Greek artifacts on display at the National Archaeological Museum and the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture. May vacations are especially enjoyable thanks to comfortable daytime temps hovering in the mid-70s.

By late May, most of Yellowstone's trails and must-see attractions are open, welcoming eager nature enthusiasts seeking a breath of fresh air. The average 50-degree temperatures provide a brisk but comfortable atmosphere for a hike on one of the Old Faithful area's trails or a kayaking excursion on Yellowstone Lake. For a glimpse of wildlife, head to Lamar Valley to view wolf pups emerging from their dens. Keep in mind that if you visit during Memorial Day weekend, you'll likely run into crowds.

With warm weather year-round (average temperatures sit in the 80s), there's never a bad time to visit Singapore. But in May, this Asian city-state on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula welcomes events such as the Singapore Cocktail Festival, the Singapore International Festival of Arts and the Singapore HeritageFest. When you're not enjoying your time at one of Singapore's cultural events, check out top attractions like Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic nature park that is home to the Supertree Observatory and the Cloud Forest.

The best (and worst) moments of Coachella Day 2, from No Doubt's reunion to T-Pain's line

INDIO, Calif. − The Saturday of a Coachella weekend is a lot like junior year of college. On the one hand, you've gotten into the swing of things, know your way around the grounds and have even built up a bit of stamina. On the other, you still feel fresh (at least assuming your friend didn’t talk you into taking too many Malibu shots back at your campsite after Lana Del Rey's set) and hungry, not to mention thirsty, for more.

Most importantly, you haven’t yet started to feel the impending sadness about the weekend’s end that inevitably arrives on Sunday.

A look at the highs and lows from Weekend 1, Day 2.

Spotted! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dance to Bleachers, Ice Spice at Coachella

The dream of the '90s was alive with reunions by No Doubt, Blur and Sublime

The bulk of the prime time at the main stage was taken up by not one, not two but three anticipated '90s reunions. Sublime started things out and singer Jakob Newell proved himself a more than capable replacement for his late father (if you closed your eyes, you might have even thought you were listening to KROCK circa 1997).

Next up was Blur led by Coachella fixture Damon Albarn, who continues to show little sign of slowing down a year after he performed with his other band “Gorillaz” on this same stage. But the best was saved for last as No Doubt turned back the clock with an exuberant performance that showcased both the rebellious rocker girl side of Gwen Stefani that she has mostly seemed to keep under wraps for the past few years and the band's impressive catalog of hits.

Coachella 2024: No Doubt reunites, brings fans back to the 90s with nostalgic, energetic set

Jack Antonoff and Bleachers brought it (and drew Taylor Swift)

Jack Antonoff presided over one of the most amped-up sets ever seen at the festival. But his energy was somehow matched by Bleachers' saxophone players who joined him onstage for much of the show and seemed to almost be battling for supremacy as they closed out the show with “Don’t Take the Money.” No wonder Taylor Swift could be seen bopping along in the wings. Swift has good taste in collaborators/friends.

Vampire Weekend went country for surprise set

Vampire Weekend’s set brought a couple of surprises to Coachella this weekend. The first was that they showed up at all, as the set was a surprise add that was announced Tuesday. But the second came when singer Ezra Koenig quipped that he initially wasn’t sure if the band was being asked to play Stagecoach or Coachella when festival organizers reached out to him, a clever way of introducing a decidedly-un- Vampire Weekend sounding medley of country and bluesy songs that closed out the show. While it may not have been what anyone would’ve expected, it was a pretty darn cool way to end the show. Maybe Goldenvoice should give them a call about Stagecoach after all.

That painfully long line to see T-Pain left fans shut out

The excitement that surrounded the recent addition of a T-Pain set at the Heineken House was quickly extinguished when fans wandered toward the stage only to see a massive line.

Around a half-hour before the set was to begin, word began to circulate that the house had reached capacity and no one else would be let in. Goldenvoice, it appears, had grossly underestimated the interest that remained to hear early 2000s hits like “Up Down” and “Bartender.” Maybe they can bring back T-Pain next weekend (only a Weekend 1 set was initially announced) and put him on a bigger stage where his fans can enjoy “Booty Wurk” without any concerns about capacity issues.

Sadly, Taylor Swift did not guest with Bleachers or Ice Spice

OK, so it was pretty cool that the world’s most famous couple did in fact add the festival to their globetrotting itinerary (as eagle-eyed fans in the crowd at Bleachers found out for themselves). And, yes, even pop stars are entitled to enjoy a day at the festival without having to face the pressure that comes with performing (although we doubt Taylor feels much at this point).

But if we’re being honest, we have to cop to being a little disappointed that Swift didn’t hop on stage to join either Antonoff or Ice Spice and create what would instantly become the most memorable Coachella moment since Beychella. But while it appears the wait for Taylorchella will have to continue, we won’t give up quite that easy: Here’s hoping Swift liked her time in the desert so much she’ll come back next weekend in a singing mood.

2024 NFL Draft rumors: Commanders to host 3 top QB prospects at the same time as they weigh options at No. 2

Things are about to get interesting in d.c..

The Washington Commanders ' facility is about to look a lot like an episode from "The Bachelor." In an unorthodox move, the Commanders' brass is meeting with top quarterback prospects Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy at the same time, according to Sports Illustrated . The meetings will begin Tuesday night and run through Wednesday. 

The idea is the brainchild of new Commanders general manager Adam Peters, who is bringing the approach with him from San Francisco, where Peters spent the past seven seasons. During Peters' time in San Francisco, the 49ers routinely hosted large prospect visits in order to see how each player interacted with his peers. 

With the Chicago Bears expected to take Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick, the general consensus is that Washington will take Daniels, Maye or McCarthy with the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft. At this point, four of our six CBS Sports draft experts have the Commanders selecting Daniels, who put up video game-like numbers during his final season at LSU.

Whichever quarterback the Commanders acquire will be part of an offense that has been rebuilt this offseason. The Commanders have signed eight new players on offense, including former Chargers running back Austin Ekeler , Eagles tight end Zach Ertz , quarterback Marcus Mariota and linemen Nick Allegretti and Tyler Biadasz . 

The Commanders' offense does continue to be headlined by Terry McLaurin , who despite inconsistent quarterback play has blossomed into the one league's top wideouts during his time in Washington. 

While success isn't guaranteed to any player, it seems like the Commanders' new quarterback will enter a pretty good situation. Along with a rebuilt offense, Washington has added several new faces to a defense that will be influenced by new head coach Dan Quinn, who was hired by the Commanders after building one of the NFL's top-ranked defenses as the Dallas Cowboys  defensive coordinator.

The 2024  NFL Draft  will take place from April 25-27 in Detroit. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly  updated draft order ,  mock drafts  and a regularly available  look at the eligible prospects .

A Proposed To-Do List For Dolphins GM Chris Grier

Take a look at 10 things the Miami Dolphins should be focused on heading into the NFL draft if this franchise wants to get to the next level

• Author: Omar Kelly

In this story:

Chris Grier usually is a popular man about this time of year.

When it's NFL draft season, the Miami Dolphins general manager's phone usually is ringing every few minutes because teams are jockeying for information and agents are pitching their prospects.

Next week represents the midway point to the NFL offseason, and via the NFL draft, which begins Thursday night, teams have a chance to set their franchise up for long-term success.

Here's a list of 10 things Grier should be focused on to help the Dolphins, who have produced four straight winning seasons but own the longest playoff win brought in the NFL, get to the next level and become legit Super Bowl contenders.

1. Sign Tua Tagovailoa to a multi-year extension

Miami needs to appease the quarterback, which means don’t embarrass him with an offer that will make him and his agent look bad to their peers but can’t handicap the Dolphins’ books in 2025 and 2026, extending the team’s window to win a championship. The Dolphins should use the contract Kyler Murray (five years, $230.5 million) got last offseason or the new deal Atlanta gave Kirk Cousins (four-year, $180 million) as the framework of what they should offer Tagovailoa because at this point Miami is bidding against itself.

2. Add a third receiver

According to Grier, a deal with Odell Beckham Jr. is “not imminent,” which means the two sides aren’t close on a contract. The Dolphins might wait to see how the 2024 draft plays out. Wide receiver happens to be one of the deeper positions in this draft, so don’t be surprised if Miami uses the team’s first- or second-round pick on an upper-echelon wideout, following Grier’s BPA (Best Player Available) approach to drafting. The Dolphins need to do better than Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft and Erik Ezukamna and might need to use pick No. 21 on LSU’s Brian Thomas Jr., who would bring physicality, or Texas’ Xavier Worthy, who would bring speed to the room.

3. Find Terron Armstead’s eventual replacement

Armstead recently admitted he’s flirted with retirement for a couple of seasons, which hints that this could be his swan song in the NFL. The 12-year veteran is elite when he’s healthy, but that’s rarely the case these days. That’s why it would be ideal for the Dolphins to select an offensive lineman like Washington’s Troy Fauntanu, who can man the left guard spot his rookie season before bouncing outside to play left tackle in year two, much like Laremy Tunsil did.

4. Work on extensions for 2021 draftees

The Dolphins had a ridiculous exodus of talent this offseason because Miami didn’t get ahead of free agency and signing players like Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt and Brandon Jones to extensions heading into the final year of their rookie deals. Hopefully the franchise learned from that mistake and plans to address Jaylen Waddle, Jaelan Phillips and Jevon Holland’s contracts before the 2024 season begins. While it takes two to tango, Miami should put pace-setting contracts on the table now before the price escalates.

5. Find talent for Anthony Weaver’s scheme

Weaver will be the sixth different defensive coordinator Grier will be picking players for since taking over as Miami’s general manager in 2016, and most of them ran significantly different schemes than their predecessor. Some wanted press cornerbacks while others wanted zone corners. Some played with linebackers on the edges and some played with traditional defensive ends. Grier says Weaver has been very clear about the players who fit the scheme he intends to build for Miami, and we’ll soon learn how good Grier is at finding players that fit.

6. Acquire more second- and third-day picks

The Dolphins' stable of young, developmental, and more importantly cheap talent, is running thin, and the best way to replenish that important supply of players is through the NFL draft. The Dolphins have six draft picks, and only two of them (No. 21 and No. 55) are among the draft’s first 158 selections. Grier has hinted that he might trade pick No. 55 to acquire more selections, and that could end up being beneficial because the meat of this draft will be between rounds 2-4 from a talent standpoint. The Dolphins have had success finding and developing undrafted players, but the team’s late-round picks under Grier have been rather disappointing lately.

7. Find a trade partner that wants to unload a veteran

Teams regularly trade veteran players during and after the draft, especially once they’ve selected their replacement (see the Lions moving D’Andre Swift to the Eagles on the second day of the 2023 draft after selecting Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round). Grier had made more trades than every other general manager since gaining final say in the organization in 2019, and it would be disappointing if he didn’t turn one of Miami’s four late-round picks into a regular contributor, if not starter.

8. Find a way to make Dolphins tougher

When Grier began this rebuild in 2019 the point of emphasis was to fortify the trenches, building a forceful offensive and defensive line. Miami finally owned the trenches in 2023, but have now lost Wilkins, Raekwon Davis, Emmanuel Ogbah, Hunt and Connor Williams, five players who set the tone in past years. While Miami signed many of their replacements in free agency, it would be ideal for the Dolphins to fortify those units and improve the team’s ability to convert short-yardage situations. 

9. Add a backup center

The Dolphins need to add a proven center unless Miami’s coaches are completely content with Liam Eichenberg serving as Aaron Brewer’s backup, and won’t allow Eichenberg to compete for one of the two vacant starting guard spots. Clearly this is nitpicking, but Eichenberg, a 2021 second-round pick who has started 38 games in his first three seasons, deserves a legit chance to become a starter, and handling the second-team center reps would limit those guard opportunities.  This is an above-average crop of draftable centers, and it would benefit Miami to start developing someone young because Eichenberg is entering the final year of his rookie deal. There are also free agent options like former Chicago Bears starter Lucas Patrick, whose market should pick up after the draft.

10. Move on from unwanted pieces

Grier has a tendency to trade unwanted pieces, or players who aren’t an ideal fit for the franchise, like last year’s trade that sent Dan Feeney to the Bears for pick No. 184 in next weeks’ draft, and Noah Igbinoghene to the Dallas Cowboys in a swap of defensive backs. It’s a little early for Grier to know who does and who doesn’t fit right now, but the Dolphins might find takers for tailback Jeff Wilson, linebacker Channing Tindall and offensive guard Lester Cotton, who all might have issues making it onto Miami’s 53-man roster if the team has truly upgraded the talent base. Moving them for a 2024 or 2025 late-round pick could be beneficial to both sides.

Meet the 12 jurors at Trump’s hush money trial

Rebecca Shabad is in Washington, D.C.

All 12 jurors, plus an alternate, were selected this week to serve on the jury after they made it clear to both sides that they could render a fair and impartial verdict.

Prosecutors and the defense team whittled down a pool of nearly 200 people to 12 jurors and an alternate after having grilled them about their personal histories, political views, social media posts and ability to remain impartial despite any opinions they might have about the polarizing former president.

Here's a brief description of each juror.

Trump attorney asks who the DA plans to call as first 3 witnesses

Zoë Richards

Trump attorney Todd Blanche asked whom the district attorney's office plans to call as its first three witnesses. Joshua Steinglass of the DA’s office refused on the basis that Trump has been tweeting about them.

Judge Merchan said he does not fault the DA’s office for its position. Blanche said Trump will not tweet about the witnesses, which Merchan said Blanche cannot promise, and he told him to treat the information as “attorneys’ eyes only.”

Merchan declined to order the DA’s office to name its first three witnesses, and Steinglass did not otherwise agree to do so.

Trump continues criticizing the case after court proceedings end for the day

Trump addressed reporters after court was dismissed for the day. He said that he was supposed to be in states like Georgia, New Hampshire and North Carolina to campaign but that instead "I've been here all day" for an "unfair trial."

Trump held up a stack of news stories and editorials that he said were critical of the case. He continued railing against the trial. "The whole thing is a mess," he said.

Trump did not respond to shouted questions from reporters.

Judge gives instructions to newly sworn-in jurors

Matt Johnson

Judge Merchan gave instructions to the jurors who were sworn in minutes ago. Among them: Do not discuss the case.

The jurors were then escorted out of the courtroom and walked past the defense table, from which Trump stared at them.

Court ends for the day. Dismissal on Monday and Tuesday will be 2 p.m.

Gary Grumbach

The court has decided that 2 p.m. will be the trial end time next Monday and Tuesday.

Here's the gender breakdown of the 12-person jury

Ginger Gibson Senior Washington Editor

The jury is seven men and five women.

Jurors are sworn in

The jurors selected today to sit on the panel were sworn in, vowing to hear the case in a "fair and impartial manner."

Trump watched as they raised their right hands for the swearing-in.

Jury selection will continue tomorrow for the six alternates.

Twelve jurors have been selected

The court has now seated 12 jurors.

“We have our jury,” Judge Merchan said when the 12th juror was picked.

The next six jurors selected will serve as alternates.

“I’m hopeful we will finish tomorrow,” the judge added.

Potential juror says she was a Bernie Sanders supporter when posting critically about Trump

A potential juror has been brought back into the courtroom for questions about her social media posts.

As she read one of her posts to the court, she said she was a Bernie Sanders supporter at the time.

“I was in a disturbed frame of mind during that election cycle," she said, adding that she no longer holds the positions expressed in the post.

Two more jurors seated, bringing the total to seven

Two new jurors have been seated, bringing the total seated back to seven after two were dismissed earlier.

The jurors are a man who works in investment banking and a man who is a security engineer.

Trump attorney questions juror's social media posts about former president

Alexandra Marquez is based in Washington, D.C.

Susan Necheles, a Trump attorney, is challenging Juror No. 430 for cause.

She alleges that the juror's posts through 2020 were vitriolic and that the juror called Trump a “racist, sexist narcissist” on social media.

Necheles also said the juror said, “Trump is an anathema to everything I was taught about Jesus … and could not be more fundamentally un-Christian.”

Defense lawyer cites book of journalist who is in the courtroom

Trump lawyer Susan Necheles referred to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman's book "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America."

Haberman, who is covering the trial, is in the courtroom as part of the small pool of journalists allowed inside to share information about the jury selection process.

Prospective juror says it was pretty difficult not to have strong feelings about Trump during his presidency

One potential juror said it was pretty difficult not to have strong feelings or conversations about Trump during his presidency.

"There’s so much information about him everywhere. So no matter how you feel, you’re seeing things online," she said. "I mean he was our president, everyone knows who he is.”

One juror says they're a centrist and 'everybody needs a chance'

Jillian Frankel

One juror who was just questioned during voir dire told Necheles that they are a "centrist."

The juror added, "Everybody needs a chance, regardless of who they are, to be innocent until proven guilty.”

Court takes brief break to discuss strikes

The court has taken a brief break to discuss which jurors each side would like to strike.

Both the prosecution and defense have four remaining preemptory strikes. Both sides could each request that jurors be struck for cause.

Potential juror shares encounter with Trump and ex-wife 'shopping for baby things'

One prospective juror, who says they were born and raised in Brooklyn, described encountering Trump and his ex-wife Marla Maples once while they were "shopping for baby things" at ABC Home, an iconic Manhattan home goods store known for quirky, upscale decor.

Trump and Maples were married in the 1990s and share one daughter, Tiffany Trump.

Prospective juror says she doesn't have 'strong feelings' about Trump

One prospective juror told Trump's lawyer, "His politics aren't always my politics," but said she agrees with him on some policies and disagrees with him on others.

"But as a human being, that's a different topic," she said.

Asked about social media activity, she said, "Politics just seems like a nasty thing to be posting about during a national crisis."

She added, "I just don’t have strong feelings about President Trump at this point...I don’t post about him.”

One juror previously met Trump's lawyer

One of the jurors being questioned by Steinglass says she previously met one of Trump's attorneys.

Asked by Steinglass if this juror could remain impartial despite that, the juror said she had no concerns about her impartiality.

Prosecution refers to 'accomplice liability' to explain case theory

Laura Jarrett

For the second time in a week, the prosecution has used a notable example of “accomplice liability” in explaining their theory of the case to the prospective jurors.

Steinglass says that Mr. Trump is being held liable just like a husband who hires a hitman to kill his wife would be — even if the husband is in a different city when it happens, he’s still criminally liable.

One juror says she's concerned she knows too much about the case

One prospective jurors who said during the questionnaire that she had read Mark Pomerantz's book and was worried she knows too much about the case.

"I’m worried that I know too much," she said. “And academically, I know I have put it to the side. I’m worried that it’s going to seep in, in some way.”

Pomerantz is a former prosecutor who once oversaw the Manhattan District Attorney Office’s investigation into Trump.

Trump appears skeptical as voir dire begins

Trump watched skeptically as Steinglass asked the jurors whether any of them felt the district attorney would have to prove more because Trump is not like any other defendant.

Trump's body is not turned toward the jury or Steinglass, but his head is. Blanche and Bove are watching Steinglass and the jury more intently.

Trump then scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Bove, who shared it with Necheles. She then had a short exchange with Trump.

Judge Merchan says voir dire of prospective jurors will begin

The judge told the group of 18 prospective jurors that previously went through the questionnaire that they will now be questioned by both sides, with the prosecution up first.

Court back in session

Merchan is back on the bench and court is back in session. Attorneys for both sides will now question prospective jurors.

Spotted outside of the courthouse: former GOP Rep. George Santos

Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was spotted outside of the courthouse. He did not answer a question from NBC News about what brought him here today.

Santos was ejected from Congress in December after he was federally charged with crimes like wire fraud and money laundering. He has pleaded not guilty. He is currently running for Congress in New York as an independent.

Court goes on a lunch break

The court has recessed for lunch until 2:15 p.m.

Juror dismissed after tying Trump to Berlusconi

One juror was just dismissed after disclosing that he was born and raised in Italy and then comparing Trump to Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime minister of Italy.

Berlusconi, who died last June, was an infamous womanizer and was convicted of tax fraud in 2013.

Potential juror says he's a few credits short of a college degree

One potential juror said that while he graduated from high school, he is a few credits short of a college degree, "which kills my parents."

A cold courtroom

Blanche, Trump's lawyer, just asked if they could make it warmer in the courtroom, saying, "it’s freezing" in the room.

Merchan agreed, "It’s chilly in here, no question."

Merchan excuses Juror No. 4

After they had a conference with the juror, Merchan announced he's excusing juror No. 4, who had previously been seated and sworn him. His prior arrest was questioned by the DA.

Seated juror 'expressed annoyance' about his personal information becoming public

A seated juror was called for questioning, with prosecutors inquiring about whether or not he was truthful in answering questions about his past criminal history.

Following a conference between the juror and Merchan, the judge said, the juror "expressed annoyance about how much information was out there about him in the public.”

And Merchan sealed the portion of the transcript where he says the juror discussed "highly personal" information.

Trump left the courtroom while decision on Juror 4 being made

Trump exited the courtroom at 11:45 a.m. He returned about eight minutes later.

One prospective juror works in law enforcement

One potential juror said that he has worked in law enforcement for 34 years and, in his spare time, he has season tickets to New York Rangers games and enjoys going to Yankees games.

Dismissed juror has "satirized Mr. Trump, often" online

Another dismissed juror, Mark, spoke to NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard outside the courthouse, telling him that he determined he couldn't be fair and impartial because, "I have satirized Mr. Trump, often, in my artwork."

Mark added, "There’s no way that Blanche — who’s not going to rely on the kindness of strangers — would permit me to be on the jury ... There’s no way that after my online presence ... that they would regard me to be fit to serve."

Mark's online comedy hadn't yet come up in the process when he raised his hand to signal he couldn't be fair and impartial, but he was sure Trump's lawyers would figure it out.

"It would be a waste of their time and, frankly, as a taxpayer, our money —for me to clog up the process," he added. 

Juror 4 has arrived

The person previously seated on the jury has come into the courtroom. He is going to be asked about crimes he or his wife are alleged to have committed, after they were unearthed by the DA's office.

Court takes a brief break

The court has taken a brief break.

One juror has read part of Michael Cohen's book

One of the jurors responding to questions said she has read several pages of "Disloyal," a book by Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, who is a potential witness in this case.

The juror said she read part of the book for unspecified "business reasons." Earlier in her questionnaire, the juror said she works in publishing, but it's unclear whether the book was directly related to her job.

Prospective juror says while he doesn't have strong beliefs aboutTrump, he does read The New York Times

A prospective juror who was just questioned said that while he doesn't have any strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about Trump, he does "read the news, New York Times and so forth."

The same person said he follows Trump's Truth Social posts, as well as Michael Cohen on X.

Potential jurors say they have read Trump's "The Art of the Deal"

One potential juror who said she subscribes to The New York Times, mainly for the crossword puzzle, said she read Trump's "The Art of the Deal" book decades ago.

The juror also said she has a relative who works for the Justice Department.

Another juror, who said he works in finance, also said he read "The Art of the Deal."

Questionnaire highlights tension points for potential jurors

The potential juror being questioned now by the judge encapsulates how tough it is for some working professionals called for jury duty in Manhattan to say they cannot be fair and impartial. This is a person who is a practicing attorney. 

She appears not to want to say publicly she can’t be fair, notwithstanding some deep sighs we can hear from her. She also clerked for a federal judge and discussed the case with him, so she’s treading carefully.

Dismissed juror: Trump "looked less orange" than I expected

One dismissed juror spoke to MSNBC's Yasmin Vossoughian outside the courthouse following her exit from the case.

"Everyone was shocked, everyone was frozen," said the woman, identified only by her first name, Kat. She recounted the moment she and fellow prospective jurors walked into the room and realized they'd been called for the Trump trial.

“We went into the courtroom and we saw Donald Trump ... I was shocked, I was sitting in the second row, like 6 feet away," she added.

Before showing up for jury duty, “I didn’t really [follow the case], I was too busy," Kat said, but added that she just became a U.S. citizen in August and realized, "I feel the duty, I’m a citizen and I have responsibilities.”

Asked about how Trump looked in the courtroom, Kat said, "He looked less orange" than she was expecting.

She added, “He doesn’t look angry or — I think he looks bored, like he wants this to finish.”

Potential juror said she discussed former Manhattan DA Mark Pomerantz's book with others

Summer Concepcion

The first potential juror said she had discussed the case at length with co-workers, including a book written by Mark Pomerantz , the former Manhattan district attorney who led the investigation into Trump’s alleged financial crimes . She said she hasn't read any of the books written by Michael Cohen or Trump.

The woman also disclosed that she attended the Women's March after Trump took office.

48 prospective jurors excused after signaling they can't be fair or impartial

After Judge Merchan told the pool of prospective jurors to raise their hand if they can't be fair and impartial, 48 out of 96 were excused.

Trump again closes his eyes while Merchan reads jury instructions aloud

Katherine Doyle

Trump again closed his eyes while Merchan read aloud jury instructions. He didn't open them when his lawyer Emil Bove passed a note to Blanche in front of him.

Merchan is soft-spoken and his voice has a relaxing tone. Trump is seen moving his head back and forth while his eyes remain closed.

Trump yawned as Merchan reached the end of the jury instruction.

Juror issues raise questions about trial timeline

The fact that we now have one juror dismissed already this morning and one potentially on the rocks (for apparently not being forthcoming on the questionnaire) shows the challenges in predicting when a final slate of 12 jurors will be empaneled. 

It also shows how waiting several more days before the opening statements runs the risk that more jurors will drop out as they sleep on the gravity of being involved in this case.

DA's office says Trump has violated judge's gag order seven more times

Prosecutor Chris Conroy handed up a new order in response to Trump's social media posts. The DA alleges that Trump has violated the judge's gag order seven more times and he wants the posts included in the hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

Yesterday, the former president complained about the jury selection process and Conroy said that "most disturbingly" Trump quoted a Fox News host suggesting that "undercover" liberal activists are lying to get onto the jury.

Conroy said the DA's office is still considering options in terms of sanctions prosecutors are seeking.

Merchan raises concerns about "the veracity of Juror #4’s answers"

After discussion about the gag order, Merchan said he had concerns about one of the jurors and how truthfully the person had answered questions.

One of the questions on the juror questionnaire asks if the juror or any of their family members were accused of a crime.

Joshua Steinglass of the DA's office told Merchan that they discovered an article featuring a person with the same name who was arrested in Westchester in the 1990s for tearing down political advertisements.

Merchan implores the press to use 'common sense' when reporting jurors' descriptions

Merchan asked reporters to use "common sense" when describing the jurors' physical descriptions.

"There was really no need to mention that one of the jurors had an Irish accent," he said.

A juror has been excused from duty

Juror 2, the oncology nurse, has been excused from duty. As court started today, Merchan told lawyers on both sides that the juror called and conveyed that after sleeping on it, she had concerns about being fair and impartial.

She had concerns about her identity becoming public and said that friends and family have already inquired about whether she is a juror. The juror added that given these outside influences, she was concerned about her ability to be fair and impartial.

An oncology nurse, a corporate lawyer and a man with "no spare time": Meet the first 7 jury members of Trump’s hush money trial

The first seven people were selected to serve on the jury in Trump’s  hush money trial  in New York on Tuesday after they made it clear to both sides that they could render a fair and impartial verdict.

They were chosen on the second day of the trial after prosecutors and the defense team whittled down  a group of 96 potential jurors . At one point, Merchan  admonished Trump after he observed him  audibly mouthing something  in the direction of one of the jurors, who had been asked about a social media post she made the day Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election.

“I won’t tolerate that,” Merchan said. “I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom.” Trump’s lawyers ultimately eliminated the woman from the jury pool.

The seven chosen so far were sworn in Tuesday and directed by Merchan to return to court Monday.

Twelve people will be seated on the jury, and each side will select alternates. The trial is expected to last as long as eight weeks.

Read more on the seven jurors selected so far.

Day 3 begins

Merchan has taken the bench — a few minutes early — and started Day 3.

Trump is taking a phone call at the defense table

Trump is using his phone in the courtroom, openly flouting the rules of the courtroom. Blanche just told him to stop and Trump tucked the phone in his pocket while looking annoyed.

Prosecutors seek to ask Trump about civil fraud, E. Jean Carroll cases and more if he testifies in hush money case

Dareh Gregorian

Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office said in a court filing yesterday that they plan to ask Trump about the  costly verdicts  and findings of wrongdoing in his numerous civil cases if the former president decides to  testify in the criminal case  — though the permissibility of that line of questioning remains to be seen.

The prosecutors said they intend to ask Trump about the judgment in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud suit against him and his company, as well as a pair of verdicts in lawsuits brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The judgments in the three cases total  almost $550 million  and include findings that Trump  committed fraud  in the AG’s case and that he is liable for  sexual abuse  and  defamation  in the Carroll case.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office also plans to mention findings by the judge in the civil fraud case that Trump  violated a gag order  and “ testified untruthfully  under oath” during the trial.

Prosecutors said they want to be able to bring up those findings — which  Trump is appealing  — “to impeach the credibility of the defendant” if he takes the witness stand.

Trump said last week he  “absolutely“ plans to testify  but is under no obligation to do so.

Trump lawyers in Florida classified docs case seek more time to meet deadlines in order to "defend him in New York and before this Court"

In a filing today, Trump’s legal team representing him in the classified documents against him in Florida are seeking more time to meet deadlines in order for them to “defend him in New York and before this Court.”

Trump’s lawyers argue that their client and his counsel “cannot prepare — or even discuss — the required filings anywhere but an appropriate SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), a virtually impossible task given” the former president and his lawyers Blanche and Emil Bove’s involvement in the hush money trial.

“The special counsel’s office argues President Trump’s constitutional rights are ‘not implicated’ because his counsel has had ‘months to prepare the submissions at issue’ and will ‘only be in trial four days a week in New York,’” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the filing. “This premise is untethered to reality and disregards the substantial motion practice that has occurred before this Court.”

Fiery exchanges over Facebook posts and Trump’s behavior mark second day of trial

Jonathan Allen

The first seven jurors were selected for Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday amid a battle over prospective jurors’ old Facebook posts and calls to “lock him up” and the judge’s warning that the former president should not try to intimidate the panelists who will be deciding his fate.

“I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make this crystal clear,” Merchan told Trump and Blanche outside the jurors' presence. Merchan told Blanche his client was “audibly” saying something in the direction of the juror while she was “12 feet away from your client.”

Merchan said that he didn’t know what Trump was saying but that he’d been “muttering” and “gesturing” at the juror, and he directed Blanche to talk to his client about his behavior. Blanche then whispered something into Trump’s ear.

The incident underscores Trump’s penchant for acting up in court and the problems his lawyers might have keeping him in check. He spoke loudly in front of jurors during the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial and at one point stormed out of his civil fraud trial — two trials he appeared at voluntarily. His presence is required in the criminal case, and the trial could last as long as eight weeks.

The current drama came on the second day of jury selection as seven jurors were selected for the case. The jury is anonymous, so their names weren’t used in open court, but panelists include a lawyer, a salesman, an oncology nurse, an IT consultant, a teacher and a software engineer. The seven were sworn in and told to return to court Monday.

The first jurors have now been chosen for Trump’s criminal hush money trial after a cross-section of Manhattan residents openly revealed their views of the likely GOP nominee. NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports for "TODAY."

On trial off-day, Trump complains about jury selection process for his criminal case

Trump ripped the jury selection process in his historic New York criminal trial yesterday, the day after the first seven jurors were selected out of a pool of almost 100 people.

Posting about the hush money trial on its scheduled off-day, Trump — who has repeatedly accused the judge in the case of being biased against him — suggested incorrectly that he should be entitled to unlimited strikes of potential jurors in his criminal case.

“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country,” he wrote on Truth Social before he decried the criminal cases against him as “election interference” and part of a “witch hunt.”

Under New York law, each side does have an unlimited number of strikes “for cause,”   but Merchan, the judge presiding over the case, can decide whether or not that cause is worthy of a strike.

The two sides are also entitled to a limited number of “peremptory strikes” — potential jurors they can dismiss. Because Trump is charged with a Class E felony, which is a lower-level felony, he and prosecutors are entitled to 10 peremptory challenges each. (The number goes up to 20 for defendants facing the highest level of felony charge, Class A.)

While Merchan has dismissed scores of potential jurors who said they could not be impartial or had scheduling conflicts, he has dismissed only two for cause in the two days since jury selection began . One was a person who had written “lock him up” of Trump in a 2017 social media post. Merchan denied some other Trump cause dismissal requests, including one for a woman who had posted on Facebook about celebrating Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche then used one of his peremptory challenges to remove the woman.

Trump hush money trial resumes with jury selection after day off

Jury selection is set to resume in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York City after a break in action yesterday.

With seven jurors already having been selected from a pool of 96, the schedule for today will focus largely on questioning potential jurors in a second group of the same size to see whether they can be fair and impartial when it comes to Trump. State Judge Juan Merchan has said he hopes to have 12 jurors, as well as alternates, selected by the end of tomorrow.

Prosecutors and lawyers for Trump will have less opportunity to dismiss potential jurors going forward, because both used six of their 10 peremptory challenges Tuesday.

While both sides can make an unlimited number of challenges for cause, it is up to the judge to decide whether to grant those challenges and strike those jurors. Merchan dismissed two jurors for cause Tuesday, one of whom had posted a “lock him up” message about Trump on Facebook, but he denied some other challenges.
