South Beach, Miami South of Fifth

South Beach Miami is one of the trendiest places in the country, but even South Beach has its ultra trendy spots of the moment. Right now, South of Fifth, or the area of South Beach Miami that lies south of Fifth Street, the very southern tip of the island, is hot hot hot. There are some good reasons for this, not the least of which is the fact that there is more Art Deco per square inch here than anywhere else. That means developers and renovators alive love the area for its potential, and as you walk down the street you can see evidence of this. One by one, buildings in this part of South Beach Miami are sprouting new coats of paint, renovated lobbies, and some are becoming condos as well. There's even new construction, which can be seen from anywhere in South Beach Miami, the high-rises going up near South Pointe Park overlooking Government Cut.

There are also new nightclubs and the Sanford L. Ziff Jewish Museum of Florida: Home of MOSAIC. This attraction is housed in a building that used to be a synagogue which was built in 1936. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The art deco chandeliers are wonderful to see, as are the stained glass windows. The exhibition is pernament and you can learn all about the history of the Florida Jewish community in here, which goes back more than 235 ears. There are also changing exhibits and a museum store is you want to take something home with you aside from memories and a sense of history.
