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 12-block district
sizzles with activity both day and night and
features more than 170 specialty shops, 26 galleries
and nearly 50 restaurants, as well as regularly
scheduled live outdoor jazz concerts and gallery
walks. The major renovation 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.
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. 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. 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.
