I grew up in South Beach, we would skip school ( at Ida M. Fisher Junior High) and go for ice cream at a place called
'Dipper Dans ', which was about 2 blocks from the ocean, and around the corner from
The Tides Hotel on South Miami Beach.
Do not water the gold palms in the corner !
I think this is a great architectural touch, I see these as architectural accessories.
Really glamorous !
Turtle soup anyone ???
Seriously elegant, but I am hoping they are fake.
I love these dividers, and they are easy enough to recreate.

A super long chesterfield....more classic elegance.
