After breaking up with Ambrosia and Kyushu burning down, my sushi-eating life was in a bit of turmoil. I had not been to Origami in years, but feeling the sushi crave, I decided to give it a try. Set back from the street in Duval Square, Origami is a small, […]

Tucked into an unassuming strip mall in Pompano Beach is Cafe La Buca, a tiny, 4 table Italian restaurant. It is a really tacky room with bad lighting. They have no liquor license, so it is strictly BYO here, a feature that I appreciate. They also have no menu, rather […]
I’ve said it before: There is nothing more fun that a mile long wine tasting. Seriously, what could be better than that? Two miles? That might be a bit excessive. Saturday evening was Duval Uncorked, the annual stroll down (or up, depending on where you start) Duval Street, wine glass […]

At three o’clock on Sunday afternoons, I am often taking a nap or doing laundry. Yesterday, however, I was invited to a holiday party which started at, you guessed it, 3 PM. This progressive party started at one house where we had sangria, crab wontons and stuffed mushrooms (which were […]
Stepping into the Cracked Conch Cafe in Marathon (MM 49.5) is like taking one giant leap backwards to 1975, complete with vinyl tablecloths, diner-style menu and dudes at the outside bar smoking. I suppose if it actually were 1975, they would have been smoking inside. The menu is large and […]
Image via Wikipedia I was reading an article on a blog recently about the top 5 tips from locals when planning your Key West vacation and I had to laugh. Why? Well, for one thing, I am a travel agent and plan a whole lot of different kinds of trips […]
