South Florida is filled to the brim with sushi restaurants galore. It’s no secret: Our diet-crazed, scantily clad population absolutely loves the Japanese staple. Unfortunately, for the most part, it’s certainly not authentic. Have you ever heard of them eating California rolls with fake crab in Japan? Yeah, we didn’t…
First of all, lets start off with a little debunking about what Guinness is and is not. It is not motoroil. It is not heavy or thick. It does not have a harsh or overly bitter flavor. You’re thinking of IPAs. Guinness is light. It is creamy and smooth with…
Clean Plate Charlie interrupts our regularly scheduled blog to remind our readers of one of the most important days of the year — Steak and BJ Day.Listen up, folks. It’s March 14. One month after Valentine’s Day, celebrate Steak and BJ Day tonight! It’s basically payback for any man who…
What happens when the worlds of spring break and St. Patrick’s Day collide? A hot, drunk mess and South Florida will have a lot of cleanup to do come Monday morning. In the meantime, there are plenty of ways to party away the weekend with food (but mostly drink) in…
This St. Patrick’s Day, the B Ocean Fort Lauderdale Hotel is asking you to drink (and eat) outside the box. Sure you could go anywhere and have some green beer and corned beef and cabbage, but have you ever asked yourself, “why on earth would I want to consume cheap…
Just in case you haven’t noticed, the whole luxury dining theatre thing is really in right now. Gone are the days in which moviegoers are deigned to tiny seats with nothing more than a quadrupled-size soda and five pound box ‘o popcorn. To elevate diners movie experiences even higher, Cinemark has…
Click for a slideshow of the Field Irish Bar & Eatery. It can be hard to relate to Ireland’s rolling green hills and blustery cliffside villages, but if there’s one thing South Florida understands, it’s how to raise a glass and toast to a damned good time. Perhaps that’s why…
Joe’s Seafood Shack is opening the doors to its new 320-seat restaurant on March 19 at 11 a.m. If the name’s got you a little confused, yes… the chain is nationally known as Joe’s Crab Shack, but the new restaurant is called Joe’s Seafood Shack out of respect for another…
We know you’ve heard of pub crawls. In fact, we’re pretty sure you’ve probably ended up on all fours at the end of one. That’s fun and all, but after a certain age, getting absolutely blind kind of starts to lose its appeal. Or not. Whatever. Well, there’s a new…
We’re not exactly sure who coined the style of décor called “deco glam” or whether it should have ever been paired with the word “chill” (or invented), but we do know that Chill Wine Lounge in Fort Lauderdale has a lot more going for it than aesthetics. Ultramodern chrome accents,…
If your version of a great Sunday afternoon is more about eating green than drinking green (as in food coloring in your beer), then we suggest heading out to Swank Farms on Saint Patrick’s Day to celebrate the Wearin’ o’ the Green… Salad. This adults-only lunch features some of South…
For many locals, Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale tends to be viewed as a bit of a tourist trap. Yeah, there are plenty of places to go out for a drink, but often the food can be a bit, um, lacking. That being said, we decided to compile a…
For an authentic taste of Greece, Palm Beach residents look no further than Zorba’s Taverna, a new eatery now open in Delray Beach. With decades’ worth of combined experience, owners Bobby and father Taso Orfanos joined with restaurateur Bill Maxakoulis to open Zorba’s last December. The trio is dedicated to…
Marcus Lemonis is a man of many talents. In addition to his status as a self-made millionaire, the entrepreneur and philanthropist has taken turns on multiple reality TV shows, including Secret Millionaire, Celebrity Apprentice and the soon-to-air The Big Fix. Basically, he serves as a business turnaround expert who can…
So you drank too much and stayed out far too late last night and now you have an important presentation scheduled for first thing in the morning. Sucks to be you (although we’ve been in the same boat far too many times).Panicking, you pop a few aspirin and down an…
Sirocco Mediterranean Restaurant & Lounge is celebrating its grand opening tomorrow, March 13, after a brief soft opening. The restaurant, named after the wind that originates in the Sahara desert and travels across the Mediterranean to southern Europe, will feature contemporary takes on Mediterranean cuisine and — because the restaurant…
There’s a new restaurant in downtown Delray Beach, but unless you hear about it through the grapevine, or are curious enough to venture beyond the boundaries of Pineapple Grove and down the backstreets north of Atlantic Ave., you may never have known it existed. With no exterior sign, the recently-opened…
With all the St. Patty’s Day buzz in the air, it can be easy to forget there’s another spring holiday hot on it’s heels. As with most holidays that have a religious background, there’s plenty of secular fun to be had in regards to Easter.Perhaps no secular treat is more…
Less than a month after its opening, Bikinii Coffee in Riviera Beach has closed.The shop, located just off Blue Heron Boulevard, opened mid-February with a premise that we thought would be a slam-dunk hit — well-priced coffee and light breakfast and lunch fare — served to you by young ladies…
If you’re a South Florida chick who gets her kicks from a good IPA — there’s a group for that. And while previously relegated to the Miami-Dade region, the Craft Brewjas (AKA wicked women who love beer) are now making their way to Broward County. The group’s founder, Arwen Lehman,…
In my short timing reviewing Broward County restaurants for the New Times it’s been rare that chefs or owners have reached out, even for favorable reviews. Inedit owners Jose and Luis Varela sent us an impassioned, near angry response to our review in the February 21 issue. It’s understandable why…
There is a new brewpub in Broward, the Tampa Bay Brewing Company Tap House in Coral Springs, and they are hosting their grand opening party tonight.The festivities begin at 7 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by the Celebrity Mug Club auction, where staff will be auctioning off mugs…
