Vibe Las Olas

Brought to us by the same people who gave us YOLO and O Lounge, Vibe offers much of the same swank you’ve come to expect from that little plaza off Las Olas. Sculptural reliefs of curvy bodies create texture on the walls (look out for nipple-esque light fixtures above!) and reflect colors that rotate green, […]

Village Cafe

Thanksgiving is a time to share with family and friends who are near and dear, so leave the cooking to us this year! North Beach Village Resort’s Village Caf

Village Pub

Who doesn’t like a good gay bar? If you’re female, you get the pleasure of being crammed into one room with an abundance of testosterone that’s not going to molest you as you dance. If you’re a gay guy… same opportunity, maybe. Sounds like a great time to me! Village Pub is a good place […]

The Village Pump

The giant bar […]

But it does fine on its own as it offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere: nautical with the spirit of Fort Lauderdale but full of Pittsburgh […]

We Take the Cake

It’s Oprah-endorsed. For many, no more information is needed. But there are folks that work while Oprah airs, which is why, even though they’ve been churning out the best cakes in the area for over a decade, We Take the Cake has been a secret kept from most South Floridians. This Fort Lauderdale-based boutique bakery […]
