Green Street Café

Almost always crowded, this corner venue is another prime people-watching spot in the Grove. Sit and sip a drink or order up a full meal.
In Touch

Lots of amusing erotica, cards, sexy clothing, toys, and other same-sex fun stuff for both gay men and lesbians.
Johnny Rockets

This 1950s-style diner opposite CocoWalk is always jumping. Order a burger and fries and watch the whole of the Grove go by sooner or later.
King Mango Strut

An outrageous local tradition that sends up the year’s events and celebrities, harking back to the days when the Grove was a haven for intellectuals and eccentrics. The party climaxes with a concert and dance in Peacock Park.
KWEST

Multi-bar complex featuring a nightly drag show, men dancing for men, a leather bar and shop, and occasional theme nights.
La-Te-Da

More upscale than the other venues, and with its own excellent restaurant, too, this is a popular gay and lesbian spot of long-standing. “Guys as Dolls” and other acts in the Crystal Room Cabaret every night.
Leatherotica

The smell of leather wafts your way as soon as you enter, and all of it’s black, with stainless steel studs. You can watch the craftsman at his work table, shaping the leather into various hard-wearing items.
Miami International Orchid Show

Florida has become one of the world centers for the orchid industry. More than half a million blooms are displayed at this show.
Miami-Bahamas Goombay Festival

A Bahamian party that includes a parade, Island food, Caribbean music, and junkanoo dancers parading through the streets. It claims to be the biggest African-American heritage festival in the US.
Xposure

Rather extreme club wear for men – animal prints, imitation snakeskin, day-glow plastic – at not so extreme prices.
