South Beach’s Ocean Drive is prime people-watching terrritory. And Pelican Cafe, which sits right on the strip, is one of the best places to catch an ever-changing glimpse of life in SoBe. Here, you’ll see it all: bronzed beach babes ala Victoria Secret; hunky guys with sculpted physiques; swaggering, flamboyant hip-hoppers, stylish Hollywood celebs complete with entourages (and the ever-present paparazzi); and pasty Midwestern tourists gawking in awe. The food isn’t bad, either. 826 Ocean Drive; 305-673-1000.
