Season is gearing up here in touristy South Florida, which means new restaurants will be opening now in order to get a leg up on competition during the busy holidays. We had a lot of notable restaurant openings in October, including some places that look rather interesting, like Market 17. Of course there were some closures, too. (If we missed any, let us know in the comments field below). Take a look.
