 La Trattoria is an Italian restaurant located right on Duval Street. Their bar, Virgilio’s has live music and a lovely outdoor garden. LAst summer they opened another location near the airport. This is the former Martha’s location, and has beautiful water views. Of course we went after dark, so not so many views. Continue reading La Trattoria, Oceanside

 You can't ever go wrong with truffle fries. I had the great pleasure of meeting a friend I see far too infrequently for lunch last week. I wanted to go somewhere I could bring Babka, because (a) I really love the dog, (b) I knew my friend wouldn’t mind, and although she is not much of a dog person, kind of likes Babka, too and (c) I schlep Babka everywhere with me (see point a). So, I picked Yardhouse at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale. Continue reading Yardhouse, Gulfstream Park, Hallandale, FL

I was recently approached by the folks at Cheapflights.com to answer a few questions about the Florida Keys and Key West for their Insider’s Guide to the Keys. Naturally, since I can’t shut up about how great Key West, and all of the Keys are, I answered. At length. Great restaurants? Check. Fun things to do . . . → Read More: Florida Keys Girl’s Insider’s Guide to the Keys

 Bring on the peanut dressing. There are really not that many good restaurants in Fort Lauderdale (There. I said it.) One of the most consistent ones is Thai Spice. If the opportunity presents itself, I may get to sneak in a civilized lunch with FKGuy once in a while, and we generally go there. Continue reading Thai Spice, Fort Lauderdale

 The exploding Champagne We have wine friends everywhere, so when out of town wine geeks make it south, we always try to get together with them. Last week, a lovely couple from New York came down to Florida, so nine of us got together at Il Mercato in Hallandale for loads of wine, tons of food and a good time. Continue reading Mystery Wine… and Dinner at Il Mercato

 Vegetable dim sum. Yum. When my father wanted to go to Hakkasan for his birthday, I was surprised. It is in the Fontainbleu hotel on Miami Beach so the place is huge (Hakkasan is about a 10 minute walk from where we valeted the car) and the fact that is undoubtedly crazy-expensive, off we went for what I hoped to be a nice birthday dinner.

 FKGuy enjoying a relaxing brunch We had tried 2¢ moments after they opened around New Years, when they were cash only and still getting a handle on things. I keep meaning to go back for dinner now that they accept credit cards (I don’t usually carry cash) but just haven’t gotten there yet. Instead we went for brunch yesterday. Oh my. Continue reading 2¢, Key West: Brunch

 I had the rare opportunity to be traveling early in the day last week, which left me hungry and needing lunch on the drive from the mainland to Key West. But where to go? It had to be someplace with outdoor seating that allows dogs. Plus, I wanted somewhere with table service. I was not in the mood for DIY, so that eliminated the obvious choice of Keys Fisheries. We chose Sparky’s Landing on Key Colony Beach. Continue reading Sparky’s Landing, Key Colony Beach

 More tortellini on one plate than is socially acceptable (yet still quite tasty). I have walked by New York Pasta Garden a bunch of times. It is next to Origami in Duval Square, between Simonton and Duval Streets, yet somehow I had not eaten there. They are on the Woman’s Club Card, so since we had a buy-one-get-one-free, I thought we’d give it a shot. Plus, sometimes you just need a big plate of pasta. (OK, I need that all the time!)
