Purvis Young Museum

Gallery 721, aka the Purvis Young Museum, is a spot unlike any other. This 6,500-square-foot warehouse boasting one of the area’s most eclectic assortment of art. And not just any art. Pop culture artifacts. From Elvis movie swag to psychedelic posters from the 60s to Beatles memorabilia – it’s all about Americana nostalgia. Here, you […]

Quarterdeck Dania Beach

Quarterdeck expands its lineup with a sixth South Florida location situated on top of the pier in Dania Beach. Taking up a sizable portion of the wood-planked pier, this neighborhood restaurant and bar is undoubtedly the most glamorous of the six locations, featuring panoramic views of the ocean, walls lined with large LED screens playing […]

Quickie’s Burgers & Wings

Quickie’s, an old-time drive-through with locations in Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, has a unique approach to burger making. All of its one-third or half-pound patties are cooked over hickory to give them a smoky, wood-fired flavor. Those juicy burgers are then topped with onions crisps and Quickie’s own special sauce, a spicy mayo-based sauce with […]

RA Sushi Bar Restaurant

This spot is supposed to be known for its sushi, but food seems to take a backseat once the cocktails are served. What? You’ve never tried a lemony-raspberry Blushing Geisha ($20)? Before you get schnockered tasting all the inventive spirits, start out with the lobster spring rolls (yeah, that orange stuff inside is mango, mixed […]

Rainbow Palace

Aptly named — there’s gold under this rainbow. Creative touches transform even simple Chinese won-ton and duck-noodle soups into house specialties. Ditto for the shrimp-and-lobster dumplings, orange beef, cilantro scallops, and the mushroom trio — portobello, shiitake, and button varieties sautéed in garlic, soy, and sherry.

Rainforest Cafe

Rainforest Café has been at Sawgrass Mills for more than a decade, but for tykes and the young at heart, the restaurant’s gimmicks still seem fresh. Lightning flashes. Thunder cracks. A thin mist wafts. Monkeys chatter. Drums beat out an African rhythm. It’s all simulated, of course, but there’s enough going on to keep even […]

Ramrod

Leather and light spirits, despite the serious sexual energy and sex-toy shop, make this indoor/outdoor bar a great place to hang out — or to pick up. Ramrod is basically the “Cheers” of Wilton Manors. There’s something intriguing about bear culture that draws people in, whether you’re a bear or not. Cub, bear, otter, or […]

Rapids Water Park

Even today’s internet-obsessed children will love the adrenaline-fueled action of a good old fashioned water park. At Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach, they can leave their iPhones behind and take to 29 slides, including Big Thunder with its 45 degree drop, the four-person, 500 feet of Riptide Raftin and the 1,000-foot Body Blasters […]

Rattlesnake Jake’s

Though this Tex Mex restaurant and bar, located just half a block from Deerfield Beach, serves Southwestern cuisine, the décor of mounted fish and fishing photographs suggests a fascination with the nearby ocean. Rattlesnake Jake’s is divided in half, with the restaurant on one side and a small bar, bustling with friendly local fellows, on […]

Red Ginger Asian Bistro

Red Ginger covers all bases with a pan-Asian menu that stretches from China to Thailand. The spacious restaurant is draped in steely grays with lipstick-red accents. The food showcases similar contrast. Chinese classics like kung pao chicken and Szechuan beef share space with wok-fried Thai soft-shell crab and spicy beef and lime salad. Sushi from […]

Red Pearl Yoga

Yopa is like the miracle drug of the exercise world. It’s good for just about everything, and works on both your mind and body – and spirit, if you’re into that kind of thing. At Red Pearl Yoga in Fort Lauderdale, you can reap all the benefits without breaking the bank. While they have a […]
