This is a 18 unit, one acre strip mall built in 1985. It is notable for its pink color. Mizner Plaza is at the end and across the street of another larger shopping and dining plaza, Mizner Park.
I have been to this plaza a number of times to eat. The popular Asian restaurant Ramen Lab Eatery anchors the end of the plaza closest to Sanborn Square. On this trip I was getting a tea from Long Story Short Cafe. Other businesses in this plaza include Souvlaki Fresh, Curlspiration, a hair salon, a spa, Nice Barber Studio, Vino Wine Bar and Italian Kitchen. Six Tables A Restaurant, Boca Skewers, 2nd St. Bagels & Deli, and a cleaners.
Parking is the Achilles' heel of this plaza. You can only travel in one direction and there is never enough spots. It's so bad there are warning signs posted everywhere stating how long you can stay. If there is an event in the area they hire someone to sit in the parking lot. The tow truck is called on anyone who steps foot out of the plaza. There are two large free parking garages nearby so there is no need for anyone to hog spots here.
Despite the parking headache I keep coming back because the places to eat are interesting and I like the location of the plaza in relation to its placement in Boca. After getting stuck behind a group of cars battling it out over a spot I lucked out with my own parking spot in front of Long Story. You never can tell how it will play out. The parking Gods were in my favor this time. read more
