Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

We’d argue that Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic, you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that not only cooks outstanding pies topped with everything from broccoli rabe and arugula salad to breaded eggplant but also […]

Antonette’s Italian

The name speaks for itself – the place is indeed a deli that makes wonderful hot and cold subs – but it does neglect to inform you that this takeoutery is also a fabulous gourmet market. Imported goods from the well-heeled boot range from truffles in oil to stoned olives to marinated white anchovies. Fresh […]

Midtown Athletic Club

For those who are looking for something a little swankier than 24 Hour Fitness – there’s the Midtown Athletic Club. This Weston fitness oasis has, well, everything. Revolving around its 25 outdoor tennis courts are three outdoor pools, four fitness studios with over 100 classes a week, a full service spa, free weights, a cafe […]

The Cheese Course

Let’s face it: Cheese makes everything better. The Cheese Course — a chain with four locations throughout South Florida — is a nod to the stores of Europe that sell one item done extremely well. Patrons wander through the odorous shop and are encouraged to sample from more than 150 cheeses from all over the […]

Cinemark Paradise 24 and XD

XD means extra large theaters with floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall screens with premium stadium seating ensuring a good view from every seat. Reseved seating is available. There are also 3-D films showing in select theaters. There is a full cafe in the lobby and an arcade.

East City Grill

Despite its name, East City Grill is nowhere close to the east side; it’s located in Weston, emphasis on the west. This contemporary-designed establishment prepares American and international fare with a focus on Florida produce and fish when possible. And if local fish isn’t available within reach, East City Grill has seafood flown in daily. […]

Everglades Holiday Park

When it comes to the Everglades, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. After all, it’s 734 square miles of gators, grass and swamp water. But Everglades Holiday Park is a great place to start. This famous Fort Lauderdale outpost has the fanciest fan boats you’ll ever see, and they’re also home to the Gator Boys of […]

Lucille’s American Cafe

This isn’t just another diner, because it evokes the ’40s, not the ’50s. The décor and comfort food at this joint suggest a decade of quiet indulgence, when meals were shared mostly at home. In fact, the potato chips, ketchup, blue cheese dressing, meat loaf, and chicken potpie are all made on the premises. That […]

Myung Ga Tofu & BBQ Restaurant

Myung Ga Tofu and BBQ Restaurant is a Korean restaurant but not really a Korean barbecue restaurant: no grills built into the tables, no ventilation hoods overhead. What it serves is authentic Korean comfort food, just like mom used to make. The warm, wood-toned space is filled with Korean families passing along fajita-like platters of […]

Regional Park at Weston

As parks go, this one’s pretty well-endowed, so to speak. The epic expanse of the 102-acre Regional Park at Weston is built for sports enthusiasts. It comes fully equipped with eight baseball fields, eight football/soccer fields and eight basketball courts, plus roller hockey rinks, a skate park, playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, picnic shelters and concession […]

Seminole Truck Stop/Cafe 27

The Seminole Truck Stop, located at the far western part of Broward County at the edge of the Everglades, is “in the middle of nowhere,” as owner Juan “Chuchi” Daniel admits. But throughout the week, hundreds, if not thousands gather here for various late night parties under an out-of-place tiki hut. Endless rows of bikes […]

Sisters’ Subs

Sisters are great at many things – trading clothes, doing each others’ hair, scheming against Dad for later curfews, and, naturally, the occasional cat fight. But they may just be best at making subs. Home of the “Big Sister” – a six-foot Italian hoagie stuffed with ham, Genoa salami, cappicola, cheese, and a host of […]

Sushi Tom

If sheer numbers impress you, you might want to check out this place. The sushi bar and Japanese restaurant serves more than 220 items – and that doesn’t even include desserts, which range from green-tea ice cream to tempura cheesecake. And… Sushi Tom serves
