I've been coming here since the days when Howard Austin Feld had his shop here, when you could still park on the street and the crowd felt more local than curated. Back then, it was quirky galleries, mom-and-pop shops, and artists setting up easels by the fountains. History matters here. Originally designed in the 1910s by Carl Fisher (the same guy who basically invented Miami Beach), it was later reimagined in the 1950s by Morris Lapidus, the legendary architect behind the Fontainebleau. He turned Lincoln Road into a pedestrian mall--a radical idea at the time--that gave Miami Beach its own open-air Broadway. For decades, it was where retirees fed pigeons, musicians played for tips, and snowbirds people-watched under the palms. Today? It's glossier. Trendy flagship stores, outdoor cafés charging $9 for a latte, and enough selfie sticks to arm a small militia. The pigeons have been replaced by pickup artists--guys working the crowd like it's spring break year-round, angling for phone numbers from beautiful women in sundresses. Depending on your vibe, it's either comedy gold or background noise. But here's the truth: Lincoln Road is still Lincoln Road. The fountains still splash, the architecture still hums with mid-century glamour, and the people-watching is world-class. From models strutting past with shopping bags to a family of tourists melting under the Miami sun, this strip remains Miami Beach's beating heart.

Lincoln Road Mall is a must stop when you're either visiting Miami Beach, visiting from out of town…read moreor just to have a nice night out. There's a lot of potential to be an even greater destination spot and lots of events and activities. Live music is often played on the weekends. Excellent variety and options for food and desserts along with shops and stores and even art galleries! Most parts of Lincoln Mall are clean and almost every restaurant will offer outdoor seating while providing great service. Great destination with easy parking around and overall spot for dining, shopping and leisure and perfect to relax and people watch. Great mix of high end stores and regular boutique stores to cater to every person.

The store selection here is fine. Publix, Total Wine, Best Buy, Petco, and T J Maxx. But…read more.. The mall design is horrendous. Elevators are slow, confusing and often broken. It is often impossible to get from Total Wines on 3 to Publix at ground without walking across a long parking garage and then down three flights in a sometimes smelly -- you know why! -- stairwell. Or if the elevators are working a change at 2 is required. Bizarre. Sometimes I relocate the car from 3 to 2 if I have a case of wine or a lot of groceries. Or leave and go to another Publix store. I NEVER buy anything heavy at Petco.

What would I improve about this full-city block building that is the home for Best Buy, Total Wine,…read moreTJ Max, Ross, and Publix, in addition to some parking? Remarkably, it has gotten worse, if that is possible, since my one star review 8 years ago! How about starting again from scratch! I live nearby and since the start this building was always pedestrian unfriendly. It has only, for instance, a single handicap access elevator to reach the 2nd floor where 2 elevators are sometimes working, sometimes not working, to get to the retail stores. If you want to walk from Best Buy or TJ Max to Publix, good luck dodging between cars in the garage. Waiting for a while for the elevators that don't show numbers or never seem to arrive, well good luck on the gross stair cases which seem to double as a local garbage dump and bathroom. Whoever owns this building is getting good rents, I'm sure, from the large retail chains that are its commercial tenants. But why don't they spend a penny on upkeep, try to fix the peeling paint, the oil spots in the garage that serve as giant slipping pools, the broken elevators as a starter? They obviously don't care. Maybe they think people will drive here only, but South Beach is also wonderful for those of us who live here because it is great to be a pedestrian. Until you try and navigate this place. On my last visit, this week, check out the broken elevators and escalator. There was NO way to get around. Just crazy. (I'd give zero stars if possible, but Yelp requires at least one star)

I loved the walkability of the area and its local gelato shop and cigar lounge. It's a reasonably short walk from Española Way to Lincoln Road and to the actual beach.

Yet, there is so much more of Miami Beach to see and there are areas that hold more diversity.

In my experience, the Marshall (or TJ Max) that are in the middle of big city downtowns repurpose…read morebigger multi-purpose buildings, instead of the free-standing ones that are located in the suburbs. There are usually bigger in size, and are multi-story. They often have different, higher-end designer brands. The Marshalls in downtown Miami Beach is like the former, located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the same building as the Lincoln Dining Hall. It has very tall ceilings with a lot of natural light, creating a nice environment to browse. This store had plenty of inventory, and the clearance sections weren't too picked over when we stopped by on a Friday night. There are escalators and elevators to take you from floor to floor, though the down escalator from 3rd to 2nd was blocked off (forcing you to take the elevator down, which doesn't seem very efficient and an obvious fire hazard in case of emergency). The large space could easily absorb a lot more shoppers than there were, but the checkout queues wasn't very efficient (at one point, the line got more than 7 shoppers deep and took a while to checkout). A good place to stop by to pick up some clothes for your vacation if in the Miami Beach Area.

Had an awful experience in this store with employee Danny G. My mother wanted to purchase a purse…read morethat had a price tag of $10.99, when we went to the register Danny G. took the purse to the back without saying anything, changed the ticket price and scanned it. I asked him when it now scanned for $20.99 on the price hike and he said that he, himself printed the tickets and that it was not the $10.99 price. He accused us of changing the price/ticket! I asked for a manager and he said he was that he was the manager and said for us to get out of the store. All the other customers heard this and started to yell at Danny, saying give him the purse at the correct price. I never thought this would ever happen at one of your stores. How dare this employee treat customers this way. Here is the picture of Mr. Danny G and the priceless purse. Shame on Marshall's for hiring an animal like Danny G to work at this store!
