One is very cool and built by a famous architect, Carlos Zapata - 1920 West Ave. It is often called "The Mother Ship" because it resembles a space craft. It is on the west side of South Beach (South-West Beach?) Most of the patrons are extremely young and lovely. Dress accordingly.
It has a huge selection of foods, beers and a new and VERY VASTLY improved wine/champagne area. There is a deli, a fish monger and a bakery on site. They also sell personal products and have a full pharmacy for prescription medication.
The original Publix is far more modest and is located on Dade Blvd. It's your average ordinary supermarket. Wear sweats if you must.
Both can be accessed utilizing the 25 cent circle line tourist shuttle bus.
There are "natural foods" markets on Washington Ave and on Alton Road (again, the residential WEST area). If you require Kosher foods, the shops and restaurants on 41st Street (Arthur Godfrey Road) offer a comprehensive selection.
If you walk all the way west on Lincoln Mall to the very end where it meets Alton Road, there is a spectacular gourmet food market just north of the mall called Epicure. They have fresh produce, freshly prepared cooked entrees to go, a deli bar for sliced meats and smoked fish by the pound or in sandwiches, a well-selected gourmet cheese bar, fresh ground coffees and a bakery for everything from breads and cookies to lavish birthday cakes. There is a flower shop on site and they can provide all you might need for a delightful in-room picnic or a special event. It is expensive but really really high quality stuff.
You can purchase liquor and beer and a few simple snack foods, ice cream and milk at Walgreens as well. CVS has groceries but not hard liquor.
