Original WOLFIES* (1928) is gone. Joes Stone Crab*** is still there...but I don't remember the seasons they have them fresh. And, many say the food might be good to even great, the service is terrible and staff condesendingly mean (?!!).

There are a few Wolfie Franchises, and another old one in Palm Beach County.

Jerrys Famous Deli (from Calif) has a new Deli in the SoBe area, but its terrible. (What does Calif know about deli??)

They took over part management of Wolfie Cohens "Rascal House"**, but the staff and crew was kept from the original owner (All the staff - including wait staff) at the time grandpa sold was 'given' a share of ownership. (The place was offered to the kids, they said no...too much work (I guess they figured they'd get the cash sooner or later...but the old man knew how to make the younguns responsible ) The staff (last time we were there) has keep the food & bakery going as a NY type deli...
Rascal House is in what is now called Sunny Isles (was a section of N Miami Beach) right across from the dozen Trump places (yes, motel row is almost all gone) near the NewPort T/S and the Golden Strand T/S on N 167 St near the causeway and A1A ICW side.

BTW- Joes grandson in law has a easier access place called Billys Stone Crab in Hollywood on the intracoastal and Hollywood Beach Blvd. (Also one in Tampa area...but figured not worth the drive:

BTW....Adventura Mall is much closer than most think (Cheesecake Factory, Johnny Rockets, Franchise Wolfies (stay away), and the largest indoor mall on the side of the US. Take A1A N to past 167st Causeway. Next causeway is Lehman, go over it, get in R lane, note Turnberry CC on right and exit....turn R at light and then left into Macys, Bloomies, or Burdines parking towers. Also has Lord & Taylor (if still open...federated already has 3 stores in that mall), JC Penny (big & tall section), Sears, and Dillards was supposed to move in.

BUT Sawgrass has much better pricing.

Ken thanks so much for all the great info!

We can skip anything to do about shopping malls or Outlets as I live not 10 minutes from THE MONSTROUSITY

So do I! My first coaster ride was the Cyclone.

Here is a website you might enjoy to spend some time in: http://www.palisadespark.com/sounds.htm

I don't have to go far to visit a small piece of Palisades Park... the Funhouse sign is in a bar/restaurant not 5 minutes from here, The Saloon, in Pearl River, NY.
