My wonderful mother use to leave early to shop for danish at Butterflake every Sunday. Then she'd cross the street for breads and bagels at Friedman's Bakery and finally over to Thrifty for lox, creamed herring, sable, cream cheese, olives, etc.. Yiddish was commonly heard and as normal as English there among the alta-cockers.

Not in the picture but to the right of King David's on the corner was Wong's Chinese Restaurant. In the early to mid-60's my family went there most every week for dinner. Afterwards we'd either walk Lincoln Road Mall or drive up the beach all the way to Sunny Isles.

I used to go to Butterflake with my mom, had a great time looking underneath the cake display counters and finding all of the loose change that people would drop and leave there. I think the older folks couldn't bend down to get it, so they just left it there. I remember finding a diamond ring there too, when I was 7 years old. That got me started on treasure hunting, which I do to this day, but now with a metal detector.

Black and White cakes were always the best. To this day I look for them at Publix, and buy them, each time remembering the good days on Miami Beach.

It was the Butterflake...They had the best Black and white cookies. We used to stop there on the way home from Ida Fisher Jr. High. Around the holidays we would get pies from there too. Joe's got their dinner rolls from them for a long time. Washington avenue was a bustling vibrant area in those years.
