So glam, so hip, So-Be

21 JULY 2004
Hot days, steamy nights
The action is round-the-clock, but if you want to know what’s what and who’s who, start with the News Café on Ocean Drive – and while you’re there, why not try the garlic pasta? Retail therapy addicts can feed their addiction along the eight-block pedestrian Lincoln Road Mall. The main shopping drag, it’s wall-to-wall designer labels – a kind of Greenwich Village in the tropics – with new boutiques popping up daily, selling the funky and outrageous.

When it comes to clubbing, SoBe is open to everyone, with straights going to gay clubs and vice versa. Current hot spots include Mynt and Nikki Beach, both with bars and restaurants, as well as Skybar, Opium and BED (Beverage, Entertainment and Dining). If you’ve had a heavy night, eat your way out of it with a Cuban breakfast of black beans and conch fritters at one of the sidestreet Latin hangouts.
