Tom Jenkins’ Bar-B-Q

Drive past this Fort Lauderdale roadside log cabin at lunch or dinnertime and you’ll understand exactly why lines stretch out the door. The aroma of meat grilling over red oak and hickory is hard to resist. Today a Fort Lauderdale institution, Tom Jenkins has been smoking up the neighborhood since 1990. Originally a traveling barbecue […]

Torpedo Bar

Get hot and sweaty dancing all night with the boys at Torpedo. This gay dance club caters to a mostly younger male crowd, looking to party all night. Since it’s open till 4 a.m., you’ll have plenty of time to drink and cruise the scene. Hole up in a cushy VIP booth, or keep your […]

Totoritas Restaurant

You can’t miss the place: An oversized red-and-white Peruvian flag, nearly always stretched taut in the breezes that whip across the North Perry Airport, perches atop the storefront eatery, serving as a beacon for all lovers of the Andean nation’s sophisticated cuisine. Inside the tiny, wood-paneled dining room, this third outpost of the Las Totoritas […]

Tradewinds Park & Stables

599-acre park is one of Broward’s largest. Home to Butterfly World, a walk-through garden with butterflies and hummingbirds. Also features batting cages, disc golf, a lake, boat rentals, football fields, baseball fields, volleyball fields, bike paths, nature trails, hayrides, and picnic areas (with shelters and grills).

Trapeze

Austin Powers may claim to be the man who put the “grrr” in swinger, but he has nothing on the guys who own the Trapeze Club, which sends whatever image you may have of a swingers’ club out the window. Behind its bland storefront are plush surroundings that make the Trapeze the Ritz-Carlton of “alternative-lifestyle” […]

Treasure Trove

A beachside hideaway for the local drinkers is found within Fort Lauderdale’s Treasure Trove. Nautical trimmings and beer knickknacks are scattered along the walls where locals sharing stories occupy the high top tables and barstools. The jukebox fills the room with rock ‘n’ roll favorites, and the ocean breeze blows through the open-air dive. The […]

Treehouse

This high-end venue with a cool treehouse theme and indoor outdoor areas is one of the hippest new clubs on South Beach. The club boasts cutting-edge bookings of internationally renowned electronic dance music DJs and live performers. But there are also more mainstream nights to keep pop-hungry tourists happy as well. The mix of locals, […]

Tricky Dick’s Pub

Tricky Dick’s is a casual, blue-collar spot by day, and a lively gathering of 20-somethings by night — especially on Mondays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., when women drink free. Located off 441 in west Boca Raton, this low-key watering hole boasts the regular bar swag: beer signs and lots of sports on the […]

Tropical Acres Steakhouse

Ever since 1949, long before I-95 connected South Florida and high-rises covered the coasts, Tropical Acres Steakhouse has sat on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, serving steaks, formality and a taste of the good life. More than six decades after opening, and after surviving two restaurant-gutting fires, the menu has grown but remains centered on […]

Tropical Cafe

When you walk into a local joint and encounter a table of cops tucking into the grub, it’s generally a pretty good sign. After all, peace officers, like couriers, often have a leg up on some of the best out-of-the-way places to score a solid meal at a good price. Cuban sandwiches are a big […]

Tropical Tacos

On the West Coast, taco trucks are as ubiquitous as Starbucks. But alas, South Florida isn’t so lucky. But we do have Tropical Tacos, which serves up tasty meals on wheels right off of Fort Lauderdale’s State Road 84. They serve Mexican style street food, from Baja-style fish tacos to burritos, quesadillas, nachos and even […]

Tropics

This longtime kitsch bar/restaurant caters to older GLBT gents who relax with solid cocktails poured by chatty barkeeps before dinner. A younger professional crowd drops in around happy hour. A faux tropical aviary and bamboo theme adorns the central room, with oversized art of tropical birds and plants as unifying artwork throughout the dining room. […]
