Obit excerpt:
While I was in Florida I stayed on lovely Miami Beach, on Collins Avenue to be exact. The first place I wanted to take my kids was Wolfie's Restaurant. This place was the best for anyone who loves a hefty corned beef sandwich with a decent potion of outstanding potato salad and a bowl of excellent pickles. Unfortunately the place is now closed! Why am I talking about Wolfie's????
Well it use to be a Miami Beach hangout for not only Meyer Lansky (who had his own booth there), but for the Rat Pack as well.
When Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack played the now-defunct Marco Polo Hotel, they'd always stop at this beach-deli landmark. This place was always heavy on the kitsch, but light on the wallet. There you could get a great meal for a song. Just before it's closure I'm told it became the spot for insomniacs and club kids. R.I.P. Wolfie's.
