La Sandwicherie

This French owned eatery is a definite gem, serving up French savoir-faire on South Beach since 1988. The best and freshest gourmet sandwiches are what they are best know for and keeps people lining up in front of this small sandwich window bar that oozes with style along with their infamous French vinaigrette. /*! elementor - v3.10.2 - 29-01-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image-carousel...

Serendipity 3

Everyone raves about the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity on Lincoln Road, but I think this is more of a girl thing and over rated due to a movie of the same name with Kate Beckinsdale and John Cusack, that sparked a craze. This place is a little overpriced as they charge roughly ten bucks for anything sweet including $22.50 for cheesecake. The original location is in New York and they have a location...

THE FRIEZE – Ice Cream and Sorbet

  Since 1987 The Frieze has been manufacturing the best, all natural, super-premium ice cream and sorbet made fresh daily at the corner of Lincoln Road & Michigan Avenue. A featured stop on the "Miami Food Tours", The Frieze was voted Best Ice Cream 2012, by the Miami New Times. The friendly staff will let you sample as much as you please before deciding on your choice of the many yummy flavors to...

Le Tub – Hollywood, Florida

This place is just north of Miami Beach and probably the only reason to go to Hollywood, Florida. I usually don't like to leave the beach, but for Le Tub I will always make an exception.Nothing is more American than a good Hamburger and no place is more American than Le Tub. Built entirely with driftwood and ocean borne treasures gathered by the owner, this place takes eco-friendly to a whole new level,...

Wynwood Art District

South Beach and more in particular Lincoln Road Mall has fallen victim as one of the latest casualties of gentrification. Speak to any South Beach old timer with even a spark of imagination and you will quickly pick up on a tone of hostility towards being displaced by the runway models and wealthy Europeans that followed them to take over a road that no longer resembles the creative art avenue it once...

Joe’s Stone Crab House

Miami Beach has its share of glitzy overpriced restaurants, and I am afraid that Joe's Stone Crab is one of them. But don't take my word for it, the place has been featured on several food shows and has been bringing them in since 1913. One of South Beach's original restaurant's. Very few have been around as long as Joe's. Maybe I'm missing something here or I have been spoiled with great Canadian east...

The Standard Spa

The Standard Spa is one of the most magical spots of all on South Beach with its opulent pool and Lido Restaurant overlooking an amazing water font vista of Biscayne Bay, situated on lovely Belle Isle. It is a throwback to Miami's Golden Age, and just a short visit will leave you feeling like you are on a tropical island paradise. /*! elementor - v3.10.2 - 29-01-2023...

The Van Dyke Cafe

One of my favorite restaurants on Lincoln Road Mall has to be the Van Dyke Cafe, located at 846 Lincoln Road on the corner of Jefferson Avenue. From the same purveyors of the famous News Cafe on Ocean Drive, The Van Dyke Cafe, offers up a great vantage point for some serious people watching in a charming European setting. Happy hour is a great time to give them a try, Monday through Friday from 5-7:00 pm....

Fishing in Miami Beach

No trip to Florida's "Gold Coast" can be complete without rewarding yourself to some great Atlantic fishing. The experience of being out on the open water looking inland at the Miami skyline will be one you won't soon forget. South Beach's, South Point Marina has a boat that goes out daily but I prefer making the short trip to climb aboard the Kelley Fleet on 108th street. These guys have been at it since...
