Miranda: The Cottage
You seek style, good conversation, and comfort all in an adorable setting, so naturally you gravitate towards the Cottage (522 Lucerne Ave., Lake Worth). With a five dollar well martini in one hand (smart girls budget and hit up happy hours!), your other palm is freed up for mingling, snapping along with Joyces jazz trio inside, or beckoning a handsome stranger to dance when DJ Morrissey Mike spins outside. Theres only one problem with partying at the Cottage: Youll have such a great time you might never make the movie. Happy hour runs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and also features $3 domestic and $4 import beers. Call 561-586-0080.
Charlotte: Dada
If you long to meet an investment banker with a sense of style, only one place will do: Dada in Delray Beach (52 N. Swinton Ave., Delray Beach). Nibble on the sugar-lined rim of your appletini while sizing up the evenings talent on the patio all under the (forgiving) glow of moonlight. Or, if humidity flattens your locks, stay perched inside near the fireplace. Dadas owners know that us gals just look cooler getting lit alongside the Escher-esque paintings populating the walls. Call 561-330-3232.
