First conceived in 1939, Lincoln Road Mall has been a fashionable shopping mecca, a flophouse neighborhood, and a theater district. Saved from the wrecking ball in the mid-1980s by private funds, like so many other of Miami Beach’s Art Deco masterpieces, Lincoln Road’s seven-block pedestrian mall combines the best of ‘30s architecture with trendy shopping, eclectic antique stores, avant-garde art galleries and vibrant nightlife. You’ll see old favorites like Banana Republic, but you’ll also be intrigued by new boutiques, such as Neo Accessario, a favorite of Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan. An active café life along the mall makes for fascinating people-watching, whether you are sipping a latte or sitting down curbside to sample innovative Latino cuisine, such as abodo-rubbed port tenderloin or parihuela, a classic Peruvian bouillabaisse. A first-run Brazilian movie house, an Internet cafe, and more than 400 other restaurants, nightspots, businesses and shops make Lincoln Road Mall a compelling and stylish area that’s fun for visitors of all ages and interests. The street comes alive every weekend afternoon with fresh flowers, organic produce and homemade craft vendors during Lincoln Road Mall’s weekly farmer’s market.
