11th Street Diner

South Beach


A gorgeous slice of Americana, this Pullman-car diner trucked down from Wilkes-Barre, PA, is where you can replicate Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks – if that's something you've always wanted to do. The food is as classic as the architecture, with oven-roasted turkey, baby back ribs and mac ’n’ cheese among the hits – plus breakfast at all hours.
