Lincoln Road was once known as one of the hottest shopping streets in the country is experiencing a kind of retail rebirth. It’s a 7 block pedestrian mall which runs from Collins Road to Biscayne Bay and is home to more than 400 shops, restaurants and businesses. It has a very international feel about it but is not nearly as tourist driven as Ocean Drive. In fact, a friend and I were walking to dinner and English was the minority language being spoken by far. All of the cafes and restaurants have outdoor seating-in fact, there are more seats available outside than inside. One of my favorite eateries is Le Bon where the mussels are always delicious and I can have a tasty beer from Belgium on tap! You can present your Go Miami Card there as well to receive a free piece of tiramisu when you purchase 2 entrees. The Lincoln Road Market is a farmer’s market that offers a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, juices, home-made breads and flowers.The market is popular among South Beach locals and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday year round. Its worth you while to make Lincoln Rd a stop in Miami with using the Go Miami Card. Visit www.gomiamicard.com

Traditional airplane cuisine
Photo uploaded by
Picture this: you’re flipping through a guidebook daydreaming about your vacation when a flight attendant offers you a fresh Mediterranean salad topped with grilled shrimp and red wine vinaigrette or a buttery croissant filled with apple butter, cheddar cheese, and sliced turkey bacon. Is some sort of parallel universe where airplane food is actually good?
Nope, it’s the new menu being offered on select flights starting tomorrow. Several flights out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and other destinations will offer ala cart menu items for purchase like Nutella, jelly, and banana slices on a ciabatta roll, black olive spaghetti salad, or a roast beef steak cobb sandwich. Several other routes will be added in February. .
