2. Vicky’s House, Miami
Kush Hospitality, the Miami group behind concepts like LoKal and Kush, offers a spot-on recreation of owner Matt Kuscher’s childhood home in this latest venture. The milkshake shop/bar, named after Kuscher’s mother, features a 1980s oven that’s used to store glassware, yellow flower wallpaper, linoleum tile, Kuscher’s dresser from his childhood bedroom and a period washing machine that holds cans of beer. “People of my generation may never want to leave,” Kuscher says. The menu includes over-the-top, '80s-themed milkshakes such as the Golden Girls: a banana milkshake with cream cheese frosting, Golden Grahams cereal, vanilla wafer, toffee bits, a Twinkie and a housemade blondie with a cherry on top. Also offered are two versions of red and white wine, “cheap” and “better.” A phone booth like the one from “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” serves as a period-appropriate entryway from LoKal to Vicky’s House.
