When Joe Weiss opened his lunch counter in 1913, Miami Beach didn’t even have paved roads, and customers had to take the ferry to cross over. A century later, as high-rises and shopping districts blossomed all around, this restaurant has endured as one of the city’s prime attractions. Celebrities, politicians and locals alike make a beeline to this crustacean hot spot, open from October through July. And if the dedicated parking lot across the street is any clue, waits for a table here can get lengthy.
Boiled, chilled and served with a signature mustard sauce, this seasonal specialty is also sustainable since crabs can regenerate their claws in around two years. End the meal with a refreshing, tart slice of key lime pie.
