Myapapaya Juicery + Kitchen

South Florida is into juicing, shops popping up here and there touting the benefits of fresh-pressed vegetables and fruits. In Fort Lauderdale, Myapapaya Juicery + Kitchen has led the charge, offering one of the city’s first cold-pressed juicery and kitchen. This mom-and-pop, counter-order shop is owned and operated by Adam, Michelle, and namesake toddler Mya […]

Myung Ga Tofu & BBQ Restaurant

Myung Ga Tofu and BBQ Restaurant is a Korean restaurant but not really a Korean barbecue restaurant: no grills built into the tables, no ventilation hoods overhead. What it serves is authentic Korean comfort food, just like mom used to make. The warm, wood-toned space is filled with Korean families passing along fajita-like platters of […]

Nacho Bizness

When was the last time you ate a taco that made you curse because it was so good? Try the spicy Korean pulled-pork concoction at Nacho Bizness, a mobile food truck generally located in Southwest Fort Lauderdale. Chilled cucumber, spicy sour cream, and sweet chili sauce atop a righteous helping of juicy, seasoned pork is […]

Naked Grape Wine Bar

Pairing exquisite wines and cheeses is already an art form. So when we admit that the Naked Grape elevates it even further, we’re not sure what to call it. Oeneriffic? Fromagasmic? With 40 wines by the glass (rotating on a menu that changes every fortnight), your waiter will direct you to some of the more […]

Nemo Restaurant

Nemo has been serving its Asian-influenced, contemporary American fare to popular acclaim since 1995. Some menu items are the same as on opening day, such as an appetizer of garlic-and-ginger-cured salmon wrapped around alfalfa sprout and a grilled Indian-spiced pork chop with sticky black rice and papaya salsa. They still taste good, as do starters […]

New Hong Kong Chinese Foods

Experienced Chinese food consumers can get soy sauce stains out of their undershirts, and they never let the faded photos of Hunan beef above the counter of a takeout eatery deter them. If the grub is going to be consumed elsewhere anyhow, atmosphere doesn’t matter; the truth is in the General Tso’s sauce. Leave it […]

New York Grilled Cheese

Just one of the random combinations to be found in the Gayborhood, New York Grilled Cheese is a lactose intolerant’s worst nightmare. Situated inside a bright pink frozen yogurt shop (Nuts About Yogurt), the spot serves up a delicious gourmet array of the childhood snack favorite. The Blue Buffalo is toasted country loaf stuffed with […]

Nick’ New Haven Pizza

With two locations — one in Boca Raton and a second in Pompano Beach — Nick’s New Haven Style Pizza and Bar owners and longtime friends Nick Laudano and Anthony Giovanniello have a few secrets up their sleeves. And it’s all in the sauce: a 20-year-old homemade recipe. We’re willing to bet it has something […]

Nirala Sweets BBQ

In 2004, this small Indian storefront sweet shop expanded into the Texas-themed room next door from a forgotten barbecue joint. The deeply strange space now offers the usual weekday Indian lunch buffet alongside the less usual, like kebabs, paya (gelatinous cow foot), and a weekend brunch of halwa puri — flatbread served with a thick, […]

Nu Sushi

Nu-Sushi has been operating silently in the same dim spot on University Drive for going on 20 years now. In that tiny space that seats about 30, chef-owner Yuji Azuma turns out fresh sushi culled from local and international waters, as well as an extensive array of authentic Japanese dishes that you won’t find in […]

Oceans 234 Beach, Bar, and Bistro

With a view like this, it’s no wonder this oceanfront bistro is packed during season with snowbirds snapping phone photos of the pier to taunt snow-shoveling friends back home. A wide selection of seafood anchors the menu at this casual-chic spot, but it’s the creative extras like seafood hummus or beef picadillo empanada that shake […]

Off the Hookah

Off the Hookah is downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Mediterranean-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to […]

Old Florida Seafood House

You have to see OFSH at least once for the kitschy stuffed sharks in the bar, the downright ugly black ceiling tiles, the terrible ’60s-rental-unit carpeting worn through by walkers and wheelchairs, the middle-aged, sharp-tongued waitresses — and if this sounds ghastly, it isn’t. Somehow it all comes together, like the extended families bickering over […]

Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House

The only place open in downtown Fort Lauderdale before 10 a.m., Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House serves up locals and last night’s bar crowd hearty homemade-style breakfast. The small nautical-inspired interior pumps out traditional farm-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant places emphasis on the old-farmhouse style meal with free-range eggs, organic milk, and homemade […]

Old Heidelberg

This German chalet-themed restaurant been open since 1991 and sports an adjacent deli next door where the original owners, Dieter Doerrenberg and Heidi Brueggeman, make sausages, schnitzel, and all sorts of German baked goods daily. Old Heidelberg’s menu is almost as big as the cavernous restaurant itself. There’s plenty of meaty German fare like schnitzel […]

Ole Ole Mexican Grill and Cantina

When you hunger for savory beef, chicken, melted cheese, and refried beans, you’ll want to feast here. Once you drop down the fork after cleaning off your plate, there’s fried ice cream to give your taste buds a dulce fiesta. Bring the youngsters along for a nice family meal. There are plenty of affordable plates […]

Organic Brewery

Get drunk while doing some grade-A people-watching, or just contemplate the world’s vastness over a pint and a dramatic view of the ocean. Pull up a seat on the porch of Organic Brewery along Hollywood’s Broadwalk for both. Four great beers are brewed on-site, and they don’t carry the pretentious price tags often associated with […]
