weirdunc- Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House in north Miami Beach is a great 1950s-era Jewish deli that's open into the wee hours. Expect to wait in line though. Fox's Sherron Inn is a classic watering hole with a freindly staff and an older clientele. It's one of the few old cocktail lounges left in Miami. Curry's Steak House in north Miami Beach is an old place with great neon and amazing murals of Hawaiian scenes on the walls. Unfortunately, the food's not that great but it's real cheap. If you like old nautical-themed seafood restaurants there's Mike Gordon's. They are right on the bay with great water views. I had lobster there one dark and stormy night and it was pretty inexpensive. Walking around South Beach at night is a real experience. I love all the old Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture but the crowd can be real obnoxious (frat boy party animals checking out all the super model chicks), especially on Saturday night. There is a newer polynesian-style restaurant in South Beach called Suva. It serves Mai Tais, but I never went there because it sounded trendy and it was real pricey. Don't get stone crabs. They're not in season so they will be frozen and a rip off. Try to go in the ocean or you'll die from the unbearable heat this time of year. Be prepared to be completely amazed and enchanted by the Mai Kai. Be sure and see the show and the gardens. I checked their web site for current happy hour specials: Molokai Bar Open daily: 5:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. (this is good news as when we were there the bar closed around midnight each night) Show Times: (Dinner served prior/before the show) |
