Georgia Pig

Although the Georgia Pig serves breakfast daily and lunch includes nonsmoked fare like cheeseburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and Brunswick stew, no array of food items nor the coffee-shop setting can distract diners from the brick pit that sits front and center behind the counter and emits irresistible barbecue aromas. The Georgia-style sauce is thin and […]

Georgie’s Alibi

Abuzz with playful conversation and flickering laughter, Georgie’s Alibi is the lighthearted hub of gay life in Wilton Manors.

When the light melts away, the music swells and ballad-bellowing divas flood the television-covered walls in a torrent of danceable beats.

Giorgio’s Brick Oven Pizza

Grady’s Bar

Fort Lauderdale is filled with a colorful array of hidden dives, including the 70-something-year-old Grady’s Bar. This is a locals-only spot and certainly not for the weak-hearted. The dim interior is somewhat reminiscent of an old moose lodge with drop ceilings, cigarette machines, and wood laminate walls. Grady’s even has a shrine dedicated to itself. […]

Gran Forno Bakery

To find Gran Forno, you could look for the storefront window that displays bakers at work or you could simply close your eyes (mind your step) and follow your nose. The smell of bread, savory with rosemary, wafts to the street. On weekends, Gran Forno is crowded and clubby. Regulars gather in tennis togs to […]

Gran Forno Pronto

Down the street from the lauded Gran Forno bakery resides its sit-down sibling, Gran Forno Pronto, an old-fashioned-looking Italian shop with wainscoted walls, black-and-white-tiled floors, and a cast of characters. Tourists and locals drink espresso and Menabrea on a sprawling patio dotted with umbrellas. A busy, graceful pizzaiolo mans a brick oven. A handful of […]

Green Bar & Kitchen

When Green Bar & Kitchen Owner Elena Pezzo’s brother Anthony suffered a stroke and coma, doctors told the family to “pull the plug.” Yet Pezzo, a nutritionist, refused to give in and fed her brother superfoods like Omega 3 fish oil intravenously. Slowly but surely, he began to improve, talking and even beginning to walk […]

Green Room

The multilevel Green Room is the latest addition to the America’s Backyard/Revolution family, providing the downtown Fort Lauderdale locale with a unique nighttime hangout. Although chic in décor with white leather couches, fancy lighting systems, and Marie Antoinette-style chandeliers, the attitude is far from that of red-velvet roped-off club. An enormous dance floor fills up […]
