Al Salam Restaurant

Middle Eastern food served in authentic style and setting with great politeness and efficiency. Start with the kibi, crispy shells of cracked wheat stuffed with pine nuts, beef, onions, and spices including cumin, and then deep-fried. Go on to the shawerma, the Middle Eastern version of the Greek gyro.

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

We’d argue that Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic, you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that not only cooks outstanding pies topped with everything from broccoli rabe and arugula salad to breaded eggplant but also […]

Antonette’s Italian

The name speaks for itself – the place is indeed a deli that makes wonderful hot and cold subs – but it does neglect to inform you that this takeoutery is also a fabulous gourmet market. Imported goods from the well-heeled boot range from truffles in oil to stoned olives to marinated white anchovies. Fresh […]

Archies West

Although affiliated with the small, beachy Archie’s on Commercial Boulevard and A1A, the two bars couldn’t be more different. Where the east bar takes pleasure in a cozy dive atmosphere amid neighborhood tattoo shops and dry cleaners, Archie’s West takes advantage of a large space that locations out west commonly boast. A darts player’s paradise, […]

Midtown Athletic Club

For those who are looking for something a little swankier than 24 Hour Fitness – there’s the Midtown Athletic Club. This Weston fitness oasis has, well, everything. Revolving around its 25 outdoor tennis courts are three outdoor pools, four fitness studios with over 100 classes a week, a full service spa, free weights, a cafe […]

Auntie I’s

Whether you have been craving classic Jamaican jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, fried fish, ackee, or some good, old-fashioned cowfoot (don’t hate), old Auntie I has got you covered. She opened her first location back in 1987, and Auntie I’s now has three in South Florida. Expect friendly service, along with delicious Jamaican food that’s […]

Bangkok Palace

Hallelujah for Bangkok Palace, where delicious Thai dishes are made from family recipes. Don’t expect goopy pad Thai or the usual lineup of boring curries, because the Kasinpila family makes its curry pastes from scratch and turns out a few dishes you probably haven’t seen before. There’s a delicious fried-egg salad, dinner-sized bowls of wonton […]

Bash American Bistro

Bash American Bistro is holed up like a dark cave in a drab suburban strip mall, but the overall effect is as comforting as a pile of kittens wearing hand-knit, woolen booties. Starters include fabulous housemade hummus painted with spicy kimchi sauce and served with wedges of grilled pita; gooey spinach dip with freshly fried […]

The Billiard Club

What you may not know is that nestled in the “Oasis” – the outdoor division of the mall, near Ron Jon Surf Shop and the movie theaters – is a complete sports bar and pool hall, offering the perfect spot to take a break from the madness. The Billiard Club has two other locations in […]

Caspian Persian Grill

The menu here is chock-full of wondrous Persian cuisine, which is a politically innocuous way of saying Iranian food. This may seem quite exotic, but many of the offerings here are surprisingly familiar, like hummus, stuffed grape leaves, and kebabs of chicken, salmon, tenderloin, and lamb — all tasty renditions but nothing to declare a […]
