Wolfie’s Restaurant and Sandwich Shop: Miami Beach

Wolfie’s Restaurant and Sandwich Shop in Miami Beach became a popular gathering place during the years after World War II. Similar restaurants, including a Wolfie’s in St. Petersburg, catered to a growing and diverse population of transplants. Wolfie’s—to the dismay of devotees—closed in 2001, a symbol of the decline of Jewish Miami Beach. The city’s last kosher resort hotel, the Saxony, closed in 2005.
