Historically, Flagler Street has been Downtown's major
shopping street dating back to the 1800s. Today, it is
still Downtown's major shopping street, with Florida's
flagship Macy's (formerly Burdines) on Flagler Street
and Miami Avenue, as well as Miami's own department
store, La Epoca on Flagler Street and Second Avenue.
Much focus has been placed on revitalizing Flagler
Street to its former grandeur. In recent years, a renewed
investment interest has been placed on Flagler Street,
and many new restaurants and stores have opened up,
new landscaping and pavers have been placed, as well
as enforced security and tourist guides.

Besides Flagler Street, Downtown has two major shopping areas, Bayside Marketplace and Mary Brickell Village in Brickell. Bayside Marketplace was built in 1987, and is one of Miami's most visited tourist attractions averaging over 15 million visitors a year. It is an outdoor shopping mall overlooking Biscayne Bay at Bayfront Park. Bayside Marketplace has many national retail chains, as well as local Miami stores. Mary Brickell Village is on Miami Avenue and SE 10th Street in Brickell. Mary Brickell
Village is a major nightlife area and has many of Miami's
upscale bars and restaurants that stretch along Miami
Avenue from around SE Sixth Street to Broadway (SE 15th Road).

The northern most area is the Media and Entertainment District. To the south is Park West, the Central Business District and south of the Miami River, Brickell, divided into Upper Brickell and Lower Brickell.
The CBD is separated from Brickell by the Miami River, NW 7th St marks the line between Park West and the CBD, the I-395 separates Park West and the Media and Entertainment District, and Broadway splits Upper
and Lower Brickell apart.
