The Scoop: Calling hers a strange shop, owner Susane Ronai keeps the bar of unique high at this welcoming shop in Miami's trendy Design District. She describes her collection as "Louis XVI furniture and '60s furniture, Moroccan and French Deco sets living harmoniously together," with prices ranging from $30 to $30,000. This place wins for having the most unusual item: a secret storage space built into a coffee table, fashioned from a tree trunk, hollowed with a hinged lid. Ronai says these were used in the Orient to hide precious jewels and belongings from marauding soldiers.

The Scene: With more than 50 galleries and interior design shops, the area teems with trade professionals who may be looking for the piece de resistance that can't be had in modern furniture and accessory shops. Some of the shops are open only to the trade, but Susane R. welcomes the shopping public. It's a great place to stroll and window shop, with a few trendy restaurants and nightclubs scattered across several blocks.

Insider Tips: Susane R. offers a back room with marked-down deals, and she is always happy to negotiate when you find something you really must have.
