 LINCOLN
ROAD MALL

 Once
one of the most decrepit areas in South Beach, a
recent $16 million renovation has rejuvenated this
pedestrian mall into one of the most popular
shopping areas in all of Miami, featuring an
attractive combination of outdoor café’s,
boutiques and art galleries. The major renovation of
Lincoln Road created a resurgence of high-end retail
as well, bringing patrons an eclectic mix of
high-fashion boutiques such as En Avance, ÉTÉ, Fashion Arena and
Something Different
Boutique as well as the national retailers Pottery
Barn and The Gap.
Although
it was inevitable that commercial establishments
would begin to flood this eccentric shopping arena,
Lincoln Road continues to maintain its Art Deco
roots and here visitors will not only witness some
terrific architecture, but also find unique shops
such as Brownes & Co. apothecary, Details
at Home furniture and accessories, the unusual
lighting boutique Lunatika, the Books
& Books store and cafe and The Frieze
ice cream shop.
 Also
featured at Lincoln Road are several art galleries
such as the South Florida Art Center and Romero
Britto's showroom. The galleries enhance this
artistic environment as they are surrounded by
artistic highlights such as the Miami City
Ballet's rehearsal space, the Colony Theater,
the New World Symphony and the Alliance
Arthouse Cinema. Also, the complex is anchored
on its west end (on Alton Road) by a new 18-screen
megaplex Regal Cinema, which includes a Banana
Republic flagship store and several new boutiques in
50,000 square feet of retail space.
The picturesque Lincoln Road pedestrian mall is
situated between 16th and 17th Streets, extending
from Collins Avenue on the east end to Alton Road on
the west end. Lincoln Road was once the
shopping street of Miami Beach and was known in the
1950’s as "The Fifth Avenue of the
South." That reputation seems to be resurfacing
as everyone from common folk to celebrities to
politicians make this outdoor mall a “must see”
on their Miami agenda.
