Whether it's true or not, John's fingers feel great. Art Deco Tour. Sponsored by the Miami Design Preservation League, the Saturday morning tours are another enjoyable learning experience. Deco details, Art Moderne and Mediterranean Revival structures are pointed out, along with an oral history of Miami Beach's Art Deco. Tours meet at the Art Deco Welcome Center on Washington Ave.
Hats are a good idea.
Smack on the Miami River with a view of the downtown skyline, Joe's seafood on North River Drive is a down-home Cuban seafood house with outdoor tables and lots of stray cats. You can choose your fish from a bed of ice and have it prepared to your liking. Sip a beer and watch the tugs and freighters of this working river glide by. But this one is different. Not the orange and brown Burger King motif here, it's Tropical Deco to the core.
