Padrino’s

One of the oldest Cuban restaurants in our area, family-owned Padrino

Paladium Night Club

The namesake of the Paladium in Pompano Beach is definitely an homage to New York City’s Palladium Ballroom, a Latin music dance hall, which from 1948 to 1966, brought in the likes of Tito Puente and La Lupe — the place became legendary. And the South Florida Paladium channels the Ballroom’s soul in the most […]

Palate Party

Owned by former Hell’s Kitchen contestant and New Times “Tastemaker” Robyn Almodovar, Palate Party explodes into “A party in your mouth every time!” Hey, it’s their slogan. All jokes aside, the truck serves some gourmet offerings you wouldn’t be surprised to find in a white-tablecloth establishment – without being stuffy, of course. Crab and corn […]

Papa’s Fresh Market

This restaurant and fish market looks every bit of its 1976 vintage, though that’s not a bad thing. Being inside the winding corridors decked floor to ceiling in dark wood feels like dining in the galley of an old fishing boat. A display case by the front door highlights the day’s catch: To the right, […]

Papa’s Raw Bar

Floribbean, best described as a fusion of island-inspired fare mixed with locally grown tropical fruits and fresh-caught fish. And at Papa’s Raw Bar in Lighthouse Point, it’s what’s on the clipboard menu. Owners Joy and Hugh Ganter, and their son Troy, built the neighborhood eatery in a newly vacated space next door to Seafood World, […]

Parrot Lounge

Fun. Food. Libation. Those are the words stamped above the door at the Parrot Lounge, one of Fort Lauderdale’s oldest bars. And you can bet that the folks inside stick to that slogan. Tucked inside a corner near the beach, the red-brick building is sandwiched between tattoo shops, and despite its close proximity to a […]

Passion Nightclub

It’s hard to miss the long, vertical, purple neon sign that reads Passion along the avenue at the adult-theme park Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Greeted by a faux red carpet, you’ll enter the multi-level nightclub that caters to a diverse clientele with a variety of music and cabaret shows. Stretched, glittery “chandeliers” dangle above […]

The Pawn Shop

The news that Miami’s famed Pawn Shop club was reopening on Clematis Street got the blood of jealous 305 folk boiling but planted pleasant party smiles on the faces of folks in West Palm Beach. Trying to re-create a club that was actually in a pawn shop with an indoor school bus, an Airstream trailer, […]
