I dread having to go the Village at Gulfstream. It is a monstrosity of casino, restaurants, shops and parking that is nearly impossible to navigate. On the other hand, if you are anywhere close to Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale or Aventura, it makes for a handy place to meet people. It […]

I spend a lot of time wearing workout clothes. Don’t judge me. There are many reasons for this. 1) I exercise a lot. OK, not that much, but enough to warrant a full workout wardrobe. 2) They stretch, and I am carrying around a few extra pounds, so they are […]
They’re trendy, they’re cheap and there is something for (almost) everyone. What am I talking about? Food trucks. There is something really appealing about eating food out of a truck while standing at a little table with strangers. I went to the Hard Rock Casino last night with some […]
I was excited to try Rocco’s Tacos on Las Olas Boulevard when my cousin was in town earlier in the week. We went for lunch, and I was working that day, so I can’t comment firsthand on the margaritas. We did find it funny, however, that “Taco Tuesday” advertisements mentioned […]

The Sun-Sentinel has once again announced the Best of Blogs winners in spectacular fashion. Bloggers, friends of Bloggers and even FKGuy gathered at YOLO in Fort Lauderdale for the grand announcement. It is interesting to put faces with blogs, that is for sure. I can only imagine what they thought […]
I have been known to eat more than my fair share of Chipotle burrito bowls (vegetarian, with the sauteed vegetables, extra hot sauce). I tend to go for the bowl and skip the 300-calorie tortilla. The burrito bowl happens for dinner at least once a week. Recently, I have been […]
Coco Asian Bistro is nestled comfortably in the Harbor Shops off of 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. An unassuming storefront, the decor inside is quite soothing with dark woods and fabrics. If you go, be sure to request one of the booths, which despite not having so much legroom, are […]
Tennis is the only sport I really love. I am working on “loving” running, but so far, I find it kind of torturous, even though I have done two half marathons and after my knee surgery (coming up on April 21 – you can read about it then) I will […]
