MIAMI NICE is a blog that takes a close look at authentic, local Miami culture. Coconut Grove has a series of treelined streets that together form an unique and one-of-a-kind neighborhood, a community, a “vibe”, if you will. The Grove, as most people refer to it, is where the streets each have their own individual character and voice. This quarter, I thought we’d take a bit of magnified look at some of the loudest, proudest and most serene streets in Coconut Grove. 1 PARKING Fuller Street Fuller Street feels just like The Grove should, it’s full of little local stores and spots that feel like they’re waiting to be discovered like Silverado Gift Shop. Of course, those in the know aren’t surprised by the great shopping with boutiques like Golden Bar, where they strike the perfect blend of boho and trendy that offer a unique selection of both clothing and home decor. Beyond the shopping, there’s an eclectic, very Grove-y mix of beloved dive bars such as Barracuda Bar & Grill, where you can find the best fish sandwich in town to pair with a large selection of craft beer. Fuller Street even has an indoor paddleboard exercise studio, SUP the Workout, perfect for our active neighborhood. 2 3 Grand Avenue Grand Avenue is one of the Grove’s main arteries, if your route is anything like my route, you’re entering the Grove through Grand regularly. There are a few staples right at the entrance like the veterinarian’s office, the post office and The Last Carrot, a locals’ spot for anything fresh and healthy. There have been a few new additions like Sapore di Mare (I can’t wait to try this very quaint new seafood spot!). A bit further down are more classics like Condom USA, Grove Ink Tattoo, and Maya Hatcha, where you should head for all your light linen summer-wardrobe needs, and, of course, CocoWalk that has anything and everything for a local and visitor alike. Commodore P laza Commodore Plaza is definitely known as a dining destination with expansive sidewalk cafes that are used year round. Greenstreet, Lokal, Georges in the Grove and Strada are all famed eateries collected on the short stretch that is Commodore Plaza, but tucked between them are a few sweet surprises that you may not know about: Bianco – an all natural and organic Italian gelato shop with impeccable customer service, Allie & Chica – the handbag destination of Miami, Dharma Yoga (the studio also leads our free community classes in Peacock Park), the new and very wearable Market, a laidback women’s boutique and the ultra-chic shop – The Griffin, a high-end shoe and accessory boutique. coconutgrove.com BIKE RACKS BUS STOPS POST OFFICE Mary Street / Florida Avenue HISTORIC MARINAS POINTS OF INTEREST 4 Mary Street & Florida Avenue are just behind CocoWalk and The Mayfair, and that’s part of the charm. This quiet bit of Coconut Grove is not lacking in things to do, it’s just a little quieter with a more walkable and pedestrian friendly stretch of promenades and sidewalks surrounding the creative class mecca in the Grove. Check out The Bookstore in the Grove + Cafe and have lunch from their new expansive menu while you stock up on your next read. Cross the plaza and get your flowers from The Blonde Tulip and sip a coffee from their coffee bar and café while waiting for your custom arrangement. While you’re running all these errands (and eating and drinking along the way, of course) stop in at Oxxo Dry Cleaners and leave it up to the professionals to dry clean your latest boutique items. On this street, you can be sure to get it all done without much hassle. 5 Main Highway A drive down Main Highway is one of the most beautiful drives in Miami, it’s lush and tropical and wild in all the best ways. The Barnacle, a historic state park right on the bridge between residential Main Highway and the Downtown area, is a little time capsule of Grove goodness. It’s a bit of preserved old Grove that is worth a visit for both the historical value and the great events that they put on all year – like outdoor movie screenings! A bit further down are great spots like the El Taquito, one of the best kept cheap Mexican fused eats in the city, Florentino Plaza that has one of a kind boutiques to explore such as Sale Rack and Olfactory Company, and of course Vinos in the Grove, where live music can be heard three days a week. 6 McFarlane Road There’s a lot of change going on in Coconut Grove, positive change that’s brought a new influx of positive and promising energy to the whole neighborhood, and McFarlane Road is right at the center of this movement. The Grove is about to get a whole new kind of pizza culture with the opening of Harry’s Pizzeria in a short few months. Clyde Butcher has brought his beautiful art to a fresh new gallery space on the street. Amidst all the change, Grove staples like Catch-A-Wave are going strong and Peacock Park is abuzz with free yoga and other fitness classes (multiple times a week!). Other amenities Miami residents can enjoy is the newly renovated community center where after school programs are held as well as the soccer field and basketball court. Speaking of Yoga, a new studio will be arriving on McFarlane Road along with Choices Café,an organic and vegan café, that will open this summer. Walk • Run • Bike • Drive • Paddle • Sail to the Grove
