Diable En Deuil Botánica

If you want luck or for your lover to behave, there are ways… and this is the place to find them: Haitian powders, potions, and iconographic figures abound, some of them very sexually graphic.
Divine Trash

All sorts of antiques, art, collectibles, and various found objects. The upbeat, charming proprietor, Donna Ashby, is something of a local celebrity. Don’t miss her orchid garden and the great day spa upstairs (see Jacqué, Inc.).
Dolphin Mall

More than 200 stores fill Greater Miami’s newest middlerange mall. In part, this is an outlet for such heavy hitters as Saks Fifth Avenue, Brooks Brothers, Giorgio’s et al., but there is also a host of boutiques as well as a 19-screen cineplex at the heart of it all, on the “Ramblas”, where the liveliest eateries are found.
Duval Street, Key West

Besides the tacky T-shirt shops, Key West’s main drag (see Duval Street) is also home to some superb emporiums of quality merchandise, including: clothing at Fast Buck Freddie’s (No. 500); Sunlion Jewelry (No. 513); Island Furniture and Accessories (No. 1024); Gingerbread Square Gallery, mixing local artists and world-class glass blowers (No. 1207); and Archeo Ancient Art, which specializes in African art and Persian rugs (No. 1208).
El Créditto

A raggedy old factory, where you can watch cigars being rolled and breathe in the sweet perfume of pure tobacco.
Environmental Circus

“Let the flowers grow and the music flow.” This delirious shop (est. 1970) is like entering a time warp and returning to the dippy days of hippie hedonism. Headshop apparatus, weird comics, and flower-child fashions, too.
Española Way Market

On Saturday and Sunday, there’s a small, rather esoteric market along here, selling flowers, arts and crafts, and organic products. An array of vaguely hippie items also make an appearance, such as amulets, scented candles, stones, oriental bric-a-brac, and exotic clothing – all natural, of course. You can get your palm read, too, or decorated with henna if you prefer.
Esperanto Music

If your visit to Miami stimulates a taste for Latin music, this is the place to indulge it.
Expertees Golf Shop

With all the very latest lines of clubs and putters, and accessories, this shop also offers a state-of-the-art computerized swing analysis, shaft lab, club fitting center, and lessons for beginners and low handicappers.
Frit’s Skate Shop

Get yourself a pair of in-line skates, to rent or buy, and take some free lessons (Sunday mornings). Scooters available, too.
