About four hours North of Fort Lauderdale is one of our favorite spots to stop for lunch… The Blackwater Inn at Astor Park.     And today we were NOT alone!  (There must have been some Senior Citizen’s Hell’s Angels convention nearby.  Just sayin…)       We love to stop here for lunch since […]

**UPDATE**2017** Unfortunately this wonderful restaurant has closed! 🙁 (We’re VERY sad!) Our 44th wedding anniversary was fantastic from start to finish, and our choice of restaurants absolutely set the tone for our memorable evening. Santa Lucia Ristorante Ah…Santa Lucia…Where to begin. PERFECTION… As we stepped through the door, we were immediately greeted by several staff […]

This year we chose to skip the usual ham dinner for Easter and instead we headed to a cute little place…for BBQ!   TEXAS HOLD’EM BBQ is located on the water just a few blocks away from our condo.  I’ve always wanted to give it a try…so we skipped our usual Sunday night Chinese restaurant […]

Recently, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast outside at a cute little spot close to home…Michael’s Cafe.   https://plus.google.com/109624306029893504239/about?gl=us&hl=en   The chef, Michael, is French.  And he serves an omelet that I’ve never seen anywhere else… His French Omelet.     It is absolutely delicious…so puffy…and light as air.   It’s made with three eggs, ham, […]

It took a minute to realize how the owners of this neat bar and grill came up with the name.  But the owners, HOward and BOb simply combined their names (and their talents) to create the great place in Wilton Manors…HOBO’S.     A cute idea!   Recently we stopped there for lunch…and we realized […]

***UPDATE…UNFORTUNATELY SPLASH AS CLOSED*** But I’m leaving this blog post online so I can remember the great times we had in this cute and popular spot.) RIP Splash!  🙁   Some places are hard to find…but worth the effort. And one of those places is SPLASH BAR AND GRILL.     It’s tucked away behind […]

  Here is my favorite entree at Crazy Wok in Fort Lauderdale…   It’s Chicken in Garlic Sauce. It really is a Rainbow on my plate!

Hubby wasn’t coming home for lunch on Friday, and I decided to “broaden my culinary horizons” on a solo adventure. So I walked out the back door of our condo, and I walked less than a block. And suddenly found myself in…HAVANA? We’ve lived in our Fort Lauderdale neighborhood for at least six years, and […]

No…that is NOT a misprint. It’s N. (period) Y (no period) Deli.  I forgot to ask WHY they left off that second little dot from their sign out front… But no matter how they spell their name…the food was REALLY GOOD.   Especially my BAGEL…     And it’s not often we see a restaurant […]

We’re always on the lookout for another good breakfast spot, so when we saw this silver roof we knew we had to give Lester’s a try.  (After all, the sign says they’ve been around since 1967.)     We asked to be seated out on their patio, and our server obliged.     Apparently, Lester’s […]
