Mancini’s has a voguish-looking interior with a huge, bristling chandelier, like a cluster of giant pods. But it’s on the broad sidewalk outside, where the restaurant has staked out an impressive chunk of Las Olas Boulevard with a couple of dozen linen-swathed tables, that you’ll see the deals being made. All the usual suspects are […]
Fort Lauderdale in Broward Palm Beach
Showing 309 - 330 of 551Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard’s highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It’s popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date – it smacks […]
Bowling is at its best when done in less than swank surroundings. There’s just something about the sport that begs broken-down buildings and flickering neon lights. And at Manor Lanes Bowling Center, you can enjoy cheap, hassle-free games in just such a vintage atmosphere. The booze and the balls are inexpensive, and you can’t beat […]
You’ll have the time of your life at Mario’s busy, happy Cuban/Spanish restaurant, but don’t fool around: Make a reservation. You don’t want to have to wait a second longer than necessary for that steaming, ground-beef empanada, a hefty corn-scented tamal, or a feather-light ham croquette. The crowd here is lively; tropical flavors redolent of […]
Students learn by doing – and seeing, and the Mark K. Wheeler Gallery at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale is their happy little home for both. At the on-site gallery, students and the public at large can view curated exhibitions designed to expand their experience and explore new mediums. The work of faculty members […]
When Market 17 opened in 2010, the goal was to enter the burgeoning farm-to-table, organic, sustainable movement. Using day-boat fish, free-range chicken, grass- and corn-fed (and hormone-free) beef, and organic veggies, it was one of the first restaurants in the area to tout such sourcing. If you’re not dining in the dark (that’s a thing […]
In 2010, co-owners Paula Pace and chef Ernesto Rado closed the 20-year-old Las Olas Cafe and began again with partner Scott Kraft on a new family-style restaurant: the Mason Jar Café. Together, they decided to shed the fine-dining approach of the Las Olas address and set up shop off Federal Highway in Oakland Park. The […]
McSorley’s Beach Pub boasts friendly service and some really cheap drink specials – that’s about as far as its Irish-ness extends. Still, this watering hole is a haven for anyone looking for that perfect blend of bar vibes: beachfront chill, frat-party sloppy, and now, with its recent renovations, upscale lounge. The upstairs patio and sundeck […]
Though lamb chops, tenderloin, stone crab, and high-end to-go food is how this Las Olas shop has made its mark, Mediterranean Market offers some of the finest sandwiches you
We are the originators of the hand tossed, stone baked classic southern pizza. Our Spring water crust is unique and flavorful, and all our pies are made with high quality, fresh ingredients.
If you threw a peso in any direction, chances are you’d hit a fast-food Tex-Mex establishment that has sprung up in the past few years. Since all of them have the same menu items, more or less, it’s easy to figure out whose comida is bueno. Moe’s emphasizes the fact that it doesn’t use freezers […]
Monkey Business squeezes a whole lot of action into one little hole in the wall. This 5-year-old, casual, neighborhood gay bar is a ways away from the Wilton Drive scene, but the weekly calendar of live drag shows, karaoke nights, and game-show-style entertainment makes it a world unto itself. There’s a horseshoe-shaped tiki bar on […]
Hearty breakfast burritos, foot-long subs, and dense homemade soups by the large bowl qualify this sub shop for its “monster” status. Located right off of I-95, the shop offers about 24 different sandwiches, 10 breakfast meals and a handful of salads to satisfy. You can dine in but the majority of customers grab and go.
To call Monterey Club a new venue sounds asinine, right? The place is hardly new to Fort Lauderdale. But since it closed at the turn of 2012 and the lounge space adjacent to Kreepy Tiki Tattoos morphed into 5 Points Lounge and then that closed, Monterey, like Christ, has risen again. Now, it’s bringing a […]
