Swap Shop, 3291 W Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311 I’m going to share another family tradition with you all. While my mother and grandmother were shopping for hours on end, my grandpa would take my brother and I around the 80 acres of Swap and entertain us. It wasn’t […]
Dandee Donuts, 102 N 28th Ave, Hollywood, FL 33020 With all the hip places cropping up, you can forget how good a traditional donut tastes. This old school spot delivers stellar donuts without the bells and whistles.You could just sit here with a cup of coffee and a donut and […]
Davie, Florida is a bit more off the beaten path and local – probably because it doesn’t touch the coastline. It’s just a few minutes away from Fort Lauderdale and it’s got some really cool spots for an afternoon of post-beach fun! Flamingo Garden, 3750 S Flamingo Rd, Davie, FL […]
Miami isn’t the only spot in South Florida to grab some killer Cuban. If you’re staying in Fort Lauderdale here are two spots to get your fix! Lunch at Juana la Cubana Café, 2850 SW 54th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 Tucked away in a residential area, I was beginning […]
Most places in South Florida you will have to pay for beach parking. You can kill two birds with one stone by visiting a state park beach if you want to hit the trails for a hike, and maybe do some paddling too! Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park, […]
LauderAle Brewery, 3305 SE 14th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 Finding this place was kind of a funny story. We were on a hunt to see the wild monkeys of Dania Beach and heard they were at the Park ‘N Go [1101 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316]. YES Florida has […]
One of my favorite things about staying in Hollywood, Florida was the easy access to Broward County’s truly awesome and diverse park system. The parks are free during the week and inexpensive during the weekend (check website for pricing), and there are so many to choose from! Best overall: +Anne […]
I didn’t only eat ice cream and donuts in Miami, that would be absurd. I ate cookies too! Night Owl Cookies [10742 SW 24th St, Miami, FL 33165] was packed with a lot of college kids and people waiting to pick up UberEATS orders. I wish I had a place like […]
Cardon y El Tirano, 3411 SW 8th St Miami, FL 33135 Dark and romantic, killer wine, BB King playing, excellent décor – this place has got a goood vibe and food to match. The cuisine takes from Latin American cultures and is in tapas form. We ordered four small plates […]
South Florida has quite a few quality spots to play pinball, but there aren’t that many options right in Miami itself. Arcade Odyssey [Pine Lake Shopping Center, 12045 SW 117th Ave, Miami, FL 33186] was the go to spot to get our fix! In the Kendell neighborhood it was a […]
Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132 Downtown by the waterfront, but a world of it’s own, this is a premiere contemporary art museum. I loved walking around looking at the skyline, and felt that the huge white head looked familiar – after a trip to […]
Cream Parlor, 8224 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33138 This right here is some of the best tasting I’ve ever had! The employees are so friendly and genuinely seem excited to offer you samples. The flavors are off the hook and very creative. The most popular are unicorn poop which is a […]
Pure garden: Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden If you’re looking for a true botanical garden experience, there is no better place in the area! Expansive grounds are filled with exotic plants and flowers and miles of trails to walk. I specifically loved the spiny trees in the Forest of Madagascar and […]
It’s the world’s fastest game and you may never have heard of it. Jai Alai isn’t very common in the United States, but more popular in Latin America. However, you can discover the sport at Casino Miami [3500 NW 37th Ave, Miami, FL 33142] and watch matches for free. How […]
