Includes a five-level observation tower, a fishing pier, two nature trails, an outdoor amphitheater, and an exhibit hall.
Unfettered by the demands of the commercial marketplace, the privately supported Art and Culture Center has taken that freedom and run with it, charting a course that sometimes appears to be fearless. Where else, for instance, would you find something as esoteric as “Exploding the Lotus”? That multimedia show displayed the work of nearly two […]
The Hollywood installation of this Miami-based Chinese restaurant might be the best. Make sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu at Bamboo Garden III – it yields authentic goodies like kung pao frog’s legs and beef tripe with preserved mustard greens. Steamed whole flounder and Maine lobster – not to mention dishes like stir-fried […]
In Hollywood, Bistro 1902’s menu of bistro-style classics encourages adventurous orders: frogs’ legs, boeuf bourguignon, foie gras, and escargots.
The restaurants at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are not exactly known for their subtle architecture. On giant two- and three-story fa

When these folks boast that the dishes here are stewed up from Italian family recipes unlike any other, they’re not kidding – these concoctions practically have a signature on them. From Buffalo-wing pizza, which is much more delicious than the novelty it sounds like, to veal medallions sautéed with tomatoes and mushrooms and topped with […]
Dining here would seem to be a completely superfluous activity (just try to find a menu online) compared to the real draw of the place: Ten bars with nearly 100 televisions; a “Media Room” beaming 8 satellite sports stations at once; big-party weekend blowouts with VIP rooms, $250 bottles of liquor and a $10 cover […]
This funky hole-in-the-wall on the Intracoastal Waterway plays second fiddle to its funkier next door neighbor, world-famous hamburger joint Le Tub. Flicker Lite survives on an old neon sign, word-of-mouth, an emphasis on sports, and proximity to its famous friend. Flicker Lite’s ATM has saved many Le Tub newbies from washing dishes since it’s cash-only […]
This isn’t your grandma’s MSG-filled Chinese joint. Located in a rejuvenated part of Hollywood, it draws young professionals and municipal workers who share an interest in fresh, bright, Asian fare. Choose from a book-sized menu with dozens of authentic Chinese dishes — the spicy, the saucy, and the sweet. Best bet: a wondrous moo goo […]
A perfect world? Maybe not always, but it comes close at Chinatopia. Proprietor David Chen and family, formerly of Wong’s in North Miami, serve some delectable pork chow fun and lobster in black bean sauce.

If you’re a resident of Hollywood, a last-minute trek to Chocolada has no doubt saved your ass from showing up to a loved one’s birthday party empty-handed. What’s best is that the desserts at this quaint European-style café are made so lovingly that that said loved one will think you plotted this gift selection weeks […]
Lesbian hangouts may be few and far between, especially in a place as unsuspecting as the quieter beachside city of Hollywood, and yet, there’s Cloud 9 Lounge. As divey as they come, Cloud 9 is the kind of place you turn to for good conversation — and when you’re in need of a stripper pole. […]
Contrary to the oft-played jingle, not all of America “runs on Dunkin’.” Resist the chain donut experience with a visit to this homey 24-hour donut shop. Dandee’s name can be deceiving, as they offer plenty of non-donut options from philly steak sandwiches to sausage and cheese bagel sandwiches, plus home fries and a proper cup […]

After a recent remodeling, this massive entertainment complex – a great place to watch sports – features more than 42 high-definition TVs, a wide variety of beers that come in what the bar calls “beer tubes” of 50 and 100 ounces. Try the calamari appetizer or the potato-chip encrusted chicken. Don’t want to watch the […]
The celebrities here are of a… different sort. Hollywood is filled with the nation’s down-and-out second-starters who settled here because they thought the name sounded nice. They mix with those of us who revel in that kind of diversity. The locals include rednecks, trannies, yuppies, hipsters, addicts, professors, urban pioneers, and everything in between. Find […]
Dragon City, a Hollywood Hong Kong-style Chinese restaurant minutes west of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, stays open really late but merits return trips at any hour. A simple, austere room with the usual hanging roast ducks and fish tanks along a wall is set apart via the sheer number of tanks filled […]
