Mrs. Smokeys

It’s just as the name implies: The ribs and chicken are smoked first, then barbecued with sweet, tangy, homemade sauce. Baby-back ribs are especially succulent. Even the barbecued beans and roasted corn in the husk are smokin’ good. The restaurant is self-serve, seat-yourself, and the casual nature of the place is complemented by an artistically […]

Muddy Waters

Local folks and beach dwellers gather at this establishment for oversized buckets and goblets of drinks with names like “pirate sprits.” Guzzle down 32 ounces of booze for $8 while the requisite Jimmy Buffet tunes play throughout the bar. Daily themes like Parrot Head Tuesday and Caribbean Wednesdays keep things fun, complete with foods that […]

Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale

A few years back, the prospects for the Museum of Art|Fort Lauderdale were grim. There was talk of a third-party takeover, or of even closing the place down altogether. Then came, in short succession, “Saint Peter and the Vatican: The Legacy of the Popes,” “Diana: A Celebration,” and, most triumphant of all, “Tutankhamun and the […]

This 18-screen mega theater offers digital sound, 3-D movies, and even D-BOX MFX seating in one of the theaters – in other words the seats move to give the audience the sensation of pitching and rolling with the action on screen.

My Market & Deli

My Market is an unassuming corner store that looks like an ordinary bodega. But go inside and you find shoulder-to-shoulder crowds of construction workers, business folk, and pretty much everyone else who could squeeze in. They all know that the deli-style, made-to-order sandwiches are concocted out of Boar’s Head meats and cheeses and whatever homemade […]

Mystic Water Kava Bar

This bar brings a taste of mysticism to Hollywood with its unique kava based drink offerings and one of a kind interior. Kava is a root that creates mildly euphoric effects in users.

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 […]

Try the spicy Korean pulled-pork concoction at Nacho Bizness, a mobile food truck generally located in Southwest Fort Lauderdale. Chilled cucumber, spicy sour cream, and sweet chili sauce atop a righteous helping of juicy, seasoned pork is […]

Naked Grape Wine Bar

Pairing exquisite wines and cheeses is already an art form. So when we admit that the Naked Grape elevates it even further, we’re not sure what to call it. Oeneriffic? Fromagasmic? With 40 wines by the glass (rotating on a menu that changes every fortnight), your waiter will direct you to some of the more […]

New Hong Kong Chinese Foods

Experienced Chinese food consumers can get soy sauce stains out of their undershirts, and they never let the faded photos of Hunan beef above the counter of a takeout eatery deter them. If the grub is going to be consumed elsewhere anyhow, atmosphere doesn’t matter; the truth is in the General Tso’s sauce. Leave it […]
