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 […]

If you don’t know what jai alai is, you’re not alone. But this faster-than-a-speeding-bullet sport is all kinds of exciting. And at the Dania Jai-Alai Sports Center, you can watch the action live, place a few bets, play some poker and generally escape the drudgery of daily life.

It’s hard to miss the Design Center of the Americas, aka DCOTA. This mod white building is a Dania Beach landmark, obvious to anyone passing on nearby I-95. At 775,000 square feet, this trade campus holds more than 100 showrooms boasting every kind of flooring, lighting, window treatments, furniture, paint and fabric under the sun. […]
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 […]
The menu boasts that this elegant Hollywood strip-mall eatery serves “the finest and latest in Chinese cuisine.” The latest can be found in only one dish, really – a moist fillet of salmon topped with ground pork, chopped peppers and green onions, and black-bean sauce presented on a bed of spaghetti. But the finest is […]

Even if you don’t know what the name is in English (little Colombian nook), don’t let that stop you from trying the grilled steak with pork skins, eggs and corn cake.

It’s just one of many dishes […]

We’ve all had ramen. For most Americans, it comes from styrofoam cups in flavors like “oriental” and “seafood.” We eat it when we are short on time, hungover, broke, or living in a dorm. If cup o’ noodles instant ramen is all you’ve ever known, it can be hard to get excited about a bowl […]
This sprawling, immensely likable restaurant-bakery has a fetching old-timey family-restaurant feel and has been pleasing customers for so many years that if your grandparents lived in Dania Beach, they’d tell you what it was like to eat here as little kids. Nothing radical about the menu at Grampa’s — home-cooked food that tastes good and […]
