Pelican Grand Beach Resort

A brunch riddle for you: What has an unobstructed view of the Atlantic, an omelet station, a carving station, and unlimited drinks and costs only $47? Brunch at the Pelican Grand in Fort Lauderdale. It takes the phrase “have it your way” to new levels if “your way” includes several bloody marys, sweet pillowy cheese […]

Pelican Landing

Pelican Landing is the more casual watering hole adjoining the Hyatt’s Pier 66 (Grille 66 is the upscale neighbor). But you wouldn’t know it by the docks of million-dollar yachts you have to walk past to get there.

These days, owner Young Le’s […]

Pho Vi

Vietnamese cuisine has exploded on the contemporary food scene, thanks in large part to a filling and fun-to-eat dish called pho (typically pronounced fuh) – beef broth and noodle soup that’s considered the national dish of Vietnam. For years, Broward residents had to trek west to 441 to find good Vietnamese, so Pho Vi’s opening […]
