It attracts over 11 million visitors annually from all over the world not just for its premier shopping destinations, restaurants, and nightlife but also for its architecture. When famed architect Morris Lapidus was commissioned to redesign Lincoln Rd in the 1960s, his distinguished style positioned the road as one of the most luxurious destinations in the city during that time. Today, Lincoln Road is an iconic pedestrian district that serves as a hub for modern culture seekers, both local and international. Anchored by three internationally respected cultural institutions, the New World Symphony, Arts Center South Florida and the Colony Theater, Lincoln Road serves as a charging station for the mind, body and spirit.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>I\u2019ve always enjoyed Lincoln Road when visiting Miami so this was a treat!

It was my birthday weekend and yes, COVID was still going strong with the vaccinations rolling out, but by that time, I knew I needed to get out for a staycation. Scheduled to get my second vaccination shot 2 days after leaving the hotel, I took the leap and made the reservation.\u00a0 Living in Fort Lauderdale, this would be like a staycation. Us in Florida and the nation were watching Miami back through March and into April deal with the influx of people for Spring Break, and as part of that , the city had established a curfew for the entertainment district, which the bar \/ hotel \/ sauna sits barely outside of. The gays knew where to go to keep the party going. The hotel was fully booked, mask policies were up and were respected, the bar was hopping, and the properties multiple little courtyards were full of men just chatting and drinking.\u00a0 It reminded me of just a great house party, maybe a gay frat house, but it didn\u2019t get that crazy in the common areas.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t sure what was going on in the sauna.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, there are two pods of gayness in Miami. Yes, the gays are everywhere in Southern Florida, but they congregate in two spots when it comes to Miami, and these pods are just a 1.3 mile walk away from each other. The Gaythering is an anchor and the only option in one, but oh what an option. This hotel could turn any small town \u2018Merika gay.
