1450 Collins Avenue, Miami

Designed by Henry Hohauser in 1939, this Art Deco style gem has a distinctive Streamline Moderne style with its sleek, splendidly curved facade and six decorative porthole windows. Hohauser is credited as one of the principal architects behind the Art Deco styling of South Beach.

It originally opened the business as Hoffman鈥檚 Cafeteria before hosting a few other tenants over the years, such as the China Club and Ovo, before becoming the Warsaw Ballroom, the famed gay bars that inspired the 1996 Hollywood movie, The Birdcage. Today, this iconic Art Deco building hosts probably the world鈥檚 most glamorous Senor Frogs, a Mexican-theme franchised "infamous party scene" bar and grill.
