Miami Shopping

  1. Arthur Godfrey Road (41st Street)

    If the main shopping drag in Miami Beach were a movie, it might be titled 'Jews in Paradise.' It's no shetl , but Arthur Godfrey Rd is a popular thoroughfare for Miami Beach Jews, and possibly the best place outside Manhattan to enjoy a good Reuben (and the only place outside Tel Aviv with kosher sushi houses).

  2. Aventura Mall

    This upscale granddaddy of a mall, which attracts families with its enormous indoor playground, has a Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Burdines, Bloomingdale's and a 24-screen movie theatre with newfangled stadium seating. Look for South Beach shuttles from many hotels.

  3. Bal Harbour Shops

    The Shops are a mall. OK. But they're also kind of the ultimate perfection of mall, the mall all the other malls want to be when they graduate from Mall School. Perfectly landscaped, decked in paintings, and exclusively high end, the only places to shop here are stores such as Chanel and Jimmy Choo, Prada and Agent Provocateur.

  4. Bayside Marketplace

A sampling of usual suspects includes the Disney Store, Victoria's Secret, Sunglass Hut, Bath & Body Works, the Gap, Express, Skechers and, of course, Starbucks.

  7. Cocowalk & Streets Of Mayfair

    Credited for reviving Coconut Grove in the 1990s, this pair of alfresco malls of ubiquitous chain stores is perhaps (and inexplicably) the Grove's biggest tourist draw. See them for yourself if you must, but it's just the usual suspects.

  10. Española Way Promenade

    Española Way is an 'authentic' Spanish promenade, in the Florida theme park spirit of authenticity. Whatever; it's a lovely, terracotta and cobbled arcade of rose pink and Spanish creamy architecture, perfect for art browsing (its original purpose was as an arts colony in the 1920s), window-shopping, people-watching and café sippin'. A craft market operates here on weekend afternoons.

  11. Shops At Midtown Miami

    The anchor of the city's plan to revitalize this rough-and-tumble neighborhood is a 600,000 square foot mall, which has all kinds of brand name blah, including stores such as West Elm (a homeware/furniture outlet for those who can't afford the Design District), Target (for those who can't afford West Elm) and Ross (for those who can't afford Target).
