Burger & Beer Joint BURGERS
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; % 305-672-3287; www.bnbjoint.com ; 1766 Bay Rd; mains $5.50-9;
h 11:30am-midnight Sun-Thu, to 2am Fri & Sat; v )
Gourmet burgers. Microbrew beer. Clearly, the folks at B&B did their marketing research.
Because who doesn't love both? Oh yes, vegetarians, you're catered to as well: the 'Dear
Prudence', a mix of portobello, red pepper, walnut pesto and zucchini fries will keep herb-
ivores happy. Oh, there's a turkey and stuffing burger with gravy served between turkey
patties, an ahi tuna burger, a patty of wagyu beef with foie gras…you get the idea. Did we
mention the microbrew beer?

Flamingo Restaurant NICARAGUAN

Sat)
This tiny Nicaraguan storefront-cafe serves the behind-the-scenes laborers who make
South Beach function. You will very likely be the only tourist eating here. Workers devour
hen soup, pepper chicken and cheap breakfasts prepared by a meticulous husband-and-
wife team.

Paul BAKERY
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 450 Lincoln Rd; mains $5.50-11; h 8:30am-8pm; v )
Paul sells itself as a 'Maison de Qualite,' which in other words means you can get some
very fine bread here, the sort of crusty-outside and pillow-soft-inside bread you associate
with a Parisian boulangerie . Gourmet sandwiches and light pastries make for a refreshing
Lincoln Rd lunch stop.

Gelateria 4D ICE CREAM
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; % 305-538-5755; 670 Lincoln Rd; ice creams $3.85-8; h 9am-midnight
