The best place in Fort Laudy! My fave dishes are the panang curry, drunken udon noodles & the signature kubo ramen! Fun boba drinks & full bar with excellent cocktails.
Kubo Asian Fusion & Bar
This is the best place to have an intimate, delicious, Italian dinner. It’s tiny, I’d suggest making a reservation or doing take out. Homemade pasta, rotating specials, pizza, incredible dessert & more. A true hidden gem. I’m surprised I’m even s...
Osteria Acqua E Farina
Everyone knows Lester’s here in Broward county! The best diner to get pie and coffee or a grilled cheese in the middle of the night! Old school diner vibes, 24/7, friendly staff. Pay at the counter when you leave.
Lester's Diner
Like beer? This is the place to go! The brewery the locals frequent. Absolutely delicious variety of beer on tap & they put on special events every once in a while. They will also fill growlers to go- which is my fave!
Invasive Species Brewing | Fort Lauderdale Brewery
A truly spectacular & diverse collection of wines from around the world. The owners created this small space for wine enthusiasts to enjoy a glass in the shop or to take a bottle (or three) home. They have pop-up dinner parties often featuring fo...

Beach spot!! The perfect place to park your car for a day at the beach. This park is directly across A1A blvd from the beach. It has a restaurant, loads of gorgeous outdoor seating, live music on weekends, bathrooms, water rentals, etc. It’s a one an...
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
Go spend time with some cats!!!! Beverages are more like- bottled items in a mini fridge vs a cappuccino- but the cats are the real reason to go! I love to support this place any chance I get and to say hello to the new kitties!!
Good Luck Cat Cafe
The best local music shop in town. Specializing in acoustic instruments & lessons, this place is just awesome. Incredibly knowledgeable staff, great selection of guitars, ukuleles, banjos, mandolins & accessories. Sometimes they host concerts...
Penny Lane Music Emporium
What a bunch of sweeties that work here! I love popping in to get supplies and spend time browsing. Much better experience than hitting up Hobby Lobby or Michael’s.
Blick Art Materials
Technically Dania Beach- but so worth the extra 10 minute drive. Best beer on draft and fire build your own pizza menu.
3 Sons Brewing Co
Technically Dania Beach- but great little spot! Vinyl, books, cafe. Awesome place to spend some time browsing. They host events occasionally such as open mic night and children’s story-time.
My Mama's Books Records & Cafe
The location changes but the vendors/event is definitely worth checking out! Go to their insta to find upcoming dates.
The Flamingo Flea
Cute gift shop with fresh, gorgeous flowers. Cafe & bar with live music on the weekends.
Ann's Florist and Coffee Bar
I like to get bags of beans to take home! My husband grinds them fresh in the morning - so yum!
