McFarlane Rd, Coconut Grove

McFarlane Road, is one of the three main roads in Coconut Grove. It has a number of small shops and restaurants (though the Starbucks recently moved across the treat to the Cocowalk mall on Grand ave.) This street clearly shows the competing influences of the upscale, flashy Miami influence (which has taken over Grand Ave.) and the old funky Grove atmosphere.

Shops include a surf shop and a "life is good" shop. Restaurants include a Johnny Rocket's burger joint, a new york pizza take-out (that serves enormous slices of pizza) and a more upscale bar and restaurant called "Teepee" that's next to a fancy high-rise hotel. A branch of the Miami-dade county library is at end of the street closest to Biscayne Bay. The road borders Peacock Park, which often features musicians and a drum circle.
