Are you a fan our Best of Broward-Palm Beach issue, right? Of course you are! You're still holding on to last year's issue crossing off the places you've visit and are eagerly awaiting until June comes along for a new set of restaurants, nightclubs, and shops to hit up. You've gone so far as to download the app.

But you've never had a way to brag to all of your friends that you've visited the best places in South Florida -- until now.

Today we're announcing our new partnership with Foursquare, which includes a special Best of Broward-Palm Beach badge. Naturally, the only way you can earn the badge is by checking into places we've bestowed the Best Of title.

But our partnership with Foursquare goes beyond a shiny new badge. Our location site, Voice Places, will sync up with Foursquare so you can check into event, find out what's trending, and other special tips.

So what are you waiting for? Download the Foursquare app and start checking in! And while you're at it, visit our New Times Broward-Palm Beach Foursquare page for more details and let's be friends!
