The cheesesteak is the kind of thing that when you get it, you need it to be good. The bread needs to be just right, the cheese has to be Whiz, and the beef — well, it’s the point. At City-Eatz, which opened last February in the Pompano Flea Market…
Sure, you can make all the jokes you want about “hot sausage” and “makin’ bacon,” but when it comes down to it, vegetables and fruits are pretty darned sexy too. First of all, cucumbers and bananas are pretty raunchy (you heard the ol’ banana-in-my-pocket reference), and there’s nothing sexier than…

The clean and modern décor of the Atlantic Surf Club is a stark contrast to the dark sports-bar-type aesthetics of the majority of Beach Place.

Head brewer Justin Miles is at it again over at the Mack House in Davie. After coming onboard with Holy Mackerel’s nano brewery last year, Miles has been busy crafting recipe after recipe of “off-centered” beers on a two-barrel system for the small tap room. Most beer drinkers will be…
Popping bubbly and eating oysters on the deck of a yacht is pure luxury — not that we’d actually know from experience. But, let’s be honest, few things scream opulence like bivalves and boat shows. Whether you’re shopping for a new motor yacht, looking to pick up a yacht owner,…
