The Neighborhood

---

Bulegreen: Adorable outdoor brunch spot .5 mile from the house. Don't go too hungry, there is usually a little wait, but completely worth it. Get the rocket fuel, I mean coffee and cheesy bread! 

Funky Buddha Brewery: Too close and too good not to visit. Great beers, food and even games. The entire family can hang out here for hours. 

Cyth & Co: A happy coffee shop with in walking distance with light bites, vegan options too! 

Magnolia Caffee: Great lunch spot in Wilton Manors (10 min drive). Save room for pie!

Deep: Sit by the sand at this great spot. The food is good but the view is even better. They also have live music on Saturday nights. Buy a day pass to use their beach chairs and pool facilities. 

Lucky Fish Beach Bar and Grill: Grab a drink or bite then head to the pier (behind the restaurant) for a long walk and seagull watching. 

Jack's Hamburgers: Classic spot for an old fashioned hamburgers and milkshakes. 

Kaluz: Have a delicious meal while you watch the boats go by on the Intracoastal.

Casa D'Angelo: An upscale option for Italian with delicious food. 

Croissant Time: If you need/ want / love bakeries, don't miss this one. 

Coconuts: Amazing food and sit outside and look at the boats. 

Las Olas is a great street with tons of restaurants, shops and bars. Pretend you're in Europe and just bop around and find a restaurant that looks right or head to Salt7 for a good meal and fun ambiance. 

Oakland Park Playground: A cute, fun playground with a library (bathroom), tennis courts and basketball courts.

Butterfly World: A fun (and humid) tropical paradise. It's a nice way to spend a few hours with a snack bar at the end. 

Water Taxi: Hope on / off the water taxi to a restaurant or to my favorite park, Birch State Park. The water taxi also offers sunset cruises. 

Commercial Pier Beach & Snorkeling: Great beach with small restaurants and shops for when you get hungry. Don't miss Kilwins (amazing ice cream). 

Bonnet House Museum & Garden: A beautiful and quirky home by the beach and across from Birch Park. 

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park (Birch Park): So much to do and so little time. Bike ride, canoe, hike the trails or hang out at their great outdoor cafe.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza: Equally delicious pizza, wings and meatballs. 

Candela: Great Spanish tapas. 

Mayapapaya: Healthy and delicious foods.
