A 45-foot-tall, 32,000-pound naked woman isn’t the only new thing on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. The open-air shopping and dining destination is adding new tenants to its lineup of 200 shops, cafes and galleries. By May, several new businesses will call Lincoln Road’s pedestrian promenade home. Some of them opened in December and January. But one was just a pop-up flasher — and we’re not talking artist Marco Cochrane’s R-evolution sculpture that departs from the mall in April. Another is a temporary gallery. Lincoln Road, a South Beach shopping street that was converted to one of the nation’s first pedestrian malls in 1960, begins on Alton Road and unfurls for six blocks east toward Washington Avenue. Just beyond is the beachfront and the Ritz-Carlton South Beach hotel and Decoplage condominium. Here’s a look at some of the new faces on Lincoln Road Mall. Lincoln Road Mall on Miami Beach.

The new 1,400-square-foot Lincoln Road store is part of a company that has been around for more than 130 years. “We couldn’t be more excited to open on Lincoln Road,” said Elena Stungis, vice president of sales for Majorica. She said the Spanish jeweler opened on Lincoln Road to tap the mix of locals and tourists that visit the mall. And “to be in the center of all the exciting events and new developments happening in Miami Beach.” Majorica on Lincoln Road Mall.
