Miami Beach

Art Deco glamour to Millionaire's Row, one barrier island.

“Miami Beach forgets almost nothing; every restoration here is an argument that a 1938 facade can still hold a modern life — and every new tower going up in Mid- and North Beach is betting that argument still has room to grow north.”

Miami Beach runs the full length of the island, from the pastel hotels of the South Beach Art Deco Historic District up through Mid-Beach's Millionaire's Row towers and into the quieter, fast-rising Town Center of North Beach. This profile now spans all three: the restored 1930s stock that made South Beach Miami's original luxury address, the OMA- and RAMSA-designed oceanfront condominiums reshaping Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, and North Beach's wave of new-construction towers from Lefferts, Witkoff, and others racing to build out its town center.

Lucali

$$ · Wood-fired pizza

The Miami Beach outpost of Brooklyn's famously low-key, no-reservations pizzeria — thin-crust pies and calzones baked in a single wood-fired oven, made by hand within view of the dining room.

Cho Funky Asian Bistro

$$$ · Pan-Asian

A playful, shareable-plates take on pan-Asian cooking — steamed bao, crispy soft-shell, and beef tartare with a raw egg yolk, served in a dimly lit South Beach dining room built for a crowd.

Tropezón

$$$ · Spanish tapas

A Spanish tapas bar and restaurant with a hand-tiled bar, wicker pendant lighting, and a bottle-lined back wall — Basque-leaning small plates and sherry alongside a lively bar scene.
