Lonely Planet review for Lincoln Road Mall

Calling Lincoln Rd a mall is like calling Big Ben a clock; it’s technically accurate but misses the point. Yes, you can shop, and shop very well here. But this outdoor pedestrian thoroughfare is really about seeing and being seen, and there are few better places in Greater Miami for both. Morris Lapidus, one of the founders of the loopy, neo-baroque Miami Beach style, designed several buildings on the Mall, including the Lincoln Theatre, Sterling Building and Colony Theater, which looks like the sort of place where gangsters go to watch Hamlet. There’s an excellent farmers market (open 9am-7pm Sun) and an Antiques & Collectibles Market (open 9am-5pm every other Sunday from October to May).

    lindymegan recommends this,

    Lincoln Road is not for the faint of heart. Before I moved to SoBe I had had it described to me as "the Rodeo Drive of Miami."

    Perhaps it wishes it was, but if you want Rodeo, go up to Bal Harbor. Here, spliced among the unaffordable and unattainable are shops where you can buy those booty shorts that say "South Beach" on the back and fellows that will buy you a drink even if you're not wearing heels.

    The characters are perhaps the best. Keep an eye out for Mark and Mr. Clucky, the vegetarian crusading Rooster. Lady the english bulldog rides with her dad on his low-rider bicylce. The platform shoe and skirt wearing dude that dances to Diana Ross on the corner. The locals-in-the-know free sushi night at Doraku's. The funny half german waitstaff at Hofbrau.

    Ignore the tourists. Have conversations with the campaigners on the corner. Hang out at starbucks all day drinking water and yell out compliments to fashionistas as they saunter by. Dip your toes in the ocean at the end of the road. It will all just be another normal day in South Beach.
