Lincoln road is very pleasant for a stroll on a sunny afternoon and a nice glass of white wine alongside a water fountain. The funny thing is that there are two Starbucks located across the street from each other, which reminds you of the scene in “Shrek II”: When invaded by unfriendly forces, people can run from one Starbucks shop to the other one just across the street.
Restaurants are located one after another on both sides of the street, which reminds me of Champs Elysees in Paris. It’s a place for people to enjoy the sun, a glass of chilled white wine, the people-watching, and a leisurely afternoon.
And, of course, I got to do something silly to spice things up. :)
Espanola
Espanola is supposed to have hosted some colorful characters throughout the years, including Al Capone and the crew from Miami Vice. Tim and I found that the place is a pleasant but over-rated two-block street with a few restaurants. The restaurant at the center of Espanola does serve interesting cocktails though. Have you ever tried or even heard of pineapple, mango and pepper? Here you go… It has a perfect blend of sweetness from tropical fruit juice and coconut rum. The hint of spice gives you an extra kick for a sunny afternoon.
Ocean Drive
South Beach Miami is a typical beach town for parties, drinks and going crazy. When the sunlight gradually goes away and people recede from the beach, the restaurants along the Ocean Drive would entice you with their party music or jazz, beatutiful girls wearing as little as possible, the mouth-watering food display on the street and mixed flavor of grilled lobster and cigar.
Food
Restaurants at Lincoln street or Ocean Drive are mostly tourist-oriented. For better food, you might want to go a couple of blocks away/off from the crazy party people. We had an amazing dinner at Nemo’s (street view) that culminated with the amazing Key Lime pie.
Key lime pie is a must-have in Miami. It is supposed to taste unique because of the little limes only growing in Key West
Back to Lincoln Road at Night
Lincoln road has a couple of really trendy bars. Just walk along the street, you won’t miss them! Tim’s all-time-favorite is the apple martini. I like to order drinks with sexy and trendy names and seductive colors.
