Pizza Mia

For more than two decades, Pizza Mia, though it’s changed hands a couple of times, has been serving the same menu in its cramped, narrow space in Lighthouse Point – a walk-in closet lined with tables and bad murals – to the sound of slamming oven doors, the grumbling of the dour pizza guy (“I’ve […]

Pompano Community Park

Find the “start” sign and dash past the kids’ playground, the families picnicking under the pavilions, and the young men playing basketball on the court.

Pop’s Fish Market

South Florida’s fish markets can’t compete with Seattle’s Pike Place or San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, but they can be just as inviting.

Sabrett 100 percent beef hot dogs are dished out in a bright-yellow New York-themed public school bus and are split in half, grilled, and […]

Rattlesnake Jake’s

Though this Tex Mex restaurant and bar, located just half a block from Deerfield Beach, serves Southwestern cuisine, the décor of mounted fish and fishing photographs suggests a fascination with the nearby ocean. Rattlesnake Jake’s is divided in half, with the restaurant on one side and a small bar, bustling with friendly local fellows, on […]

Red Ginger Asian Bistro

Red Ginger covers all bases with a pan-Asian menu that stretches from China to Thailand. The spacious restaurant is draped in steely grays with lipstick-red accents. The food showcases similar contrast. Chinese classics like kung pao chicken and Szechuan beef share space with wok-fried Thai soft-shell crab and spicy beef and lime salad. Sushi from […]

Rock ‘N’ Roll Ribs

This Coral Springs rib joint from Iron Maiden drummer and South Florida resident Nicko McBrain feels just about as close to a backyard barbecue as you can get in a restaurant. The food isn’t exactly Memphis-style barbecue; rather, it tastes like what you might whip up with some friends huddled around a Webber grill. Ribs […]
