Whenever we're in S. Beach, Miami it honestly feels like home. One of the eateries that keeps us…read morefeeling connected is La Playa Supermarket. This grocery store so reminds me of NYC, with the stores layout and their no nonsense service. Despite the many choices of fine dining restaurants, diners and cafes in the area, it's welcoming to have a comforting, homey Bodega type store located in a prime location on Collins Ave., just steps away from our beach hotel. Get your Cuban, Dominican or American style breakfast, lunch or dinner by special request or choose items available from their prepared food steam table. La Playa is always a stop in our rotation.

What a ripoff! $17 for a 3.5 oz of contact lens solution. Comparable product $11 at Wal-Mart and…read more$9 at Amazon. Had to buy there since I am going on a trip and not enough time for Amazon delivery. Shame on Walgreens. I understand I am paying for convenience but DOUBLE the price? Plus the store is cluttered, not very clean, and there is usually a homeless person out front, and on one occasion, trying to get into my car (poor man was mentally ill.). Long lines for pharmacy. Pharmacist is nice but always stressed out. Some RXs take three or four days to get filled due to "central fill" in Orlando. Store sells actual tobacco, alcohol and lots and lots of junk food. Not really a "health care" business.

I absolutely love these types of bodegas that have a steam table of Cuban food for sale as well…read more The portions are always huge, like two meals. A very reliable choice if you're short on time. Cuban Breakfast: A really hearty way to start the day. I love the big blocks of crisped squeaky cheese. The hot dog like sausages were fun too. The plantains and refried black beans made it feel especially Cuban. And then nice eggs, because breakfast. Beef Meal: It felt ropa vieja adjacent with the slow cooked shredded beef and peppers and onions. Though it wasn't as bright without the different types of peppers. I got mine with moros, black beans and rice mixed together. The lady also gave me some gravy, from the beef stew, on top of the rice. I chose a side of macaroni salad. It was such a delicious lunch and (leftover) dinner! The beef itself was packed with flavor and so tender. Beef Stew: More like pot roast than the other stringy beef meal. Large chunks of beef that were dense and delicious! It came with this yellow rice that had pork, shrimp and veggies. Kinda like stir fried rice, but I don't think it was stir fried. Delicious though! And, of course, got the yummy macaroni salad again.

I became quite familiar with this Walgreens in the short amount of time I spent in town, needing a…read morefew things I had forgotten to pack. But of course I only realized it bit by bit! First a visit for sunglasses. There are any number of shops on Collins where you can buy sunglasses but I found my favorite pair here for a cool $20. I also picked up some mouthwash and antacid. Then, after trying to read a book at the beach, I realized that with my new contact prescription I needed my first pair of reading glasses (RIP my youth) so I stopped back in to check out their selection. Not bad! I got a cute pair of Foster Grants. After a day at the beach I got a little pink and needed some aloe. Popped back in for that. Each time I browsed a bit. Picked up some make up during my aloe trip, as well, thanks to their dedicated beauty area. The shop itself is a bit dingy, though the products are in good shape. It's also huge! With a bit of grab and go food available alongside snacks and even some booze. Also it's 24 hours which is a bonus! I definitely could have found most of the things I picked up cheaper if I had remembered to grab them before getting to my hotel but alas, my memory did not cooperate. So I had to take the L and the tourist upcharge. But luckily I got everything I needed!

They have luggage, groceries, produce, clothing, hats, and so much more. They know their market and audience and cater to them. The prices are incredibly inflated, but I suppose that is because you get a one-stop shop. If your time is money, you will save time and thus money by getting everything you might need here. The checkout lines moved smoothly, the cashier was friendly, and I was able to redeem some Walgreens cash I had for my small chips and toy purchase.
