Lincoln Road Mall
A pedestrian shopping-and-dining promenade in the heart of South Beach.
The call
Worth it for the right traveler.
Why
- 01
A palm-lined, car-free Morris Lapidus promenade that's pleasant to wander, with strong people-watching and a genuinely good Sunday morning farmers' market.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: it's now mostly national chains and tourist-priced sidewalk cafés with hosts waving menus, so it's a daytime stroll-and-market, not a dinner destination — eat a couple of blocks off it.
