We stumbled upon this happy hour haunt with (bank) bags of character. Preserved in Old Town Pompano lives a 1920s-themed bar & restaurant called The Vault. There is quite a story associated with its name, and a mischievous history.

I daresay they had one of the best old-fashioneds I've had in South Florida. Their happy hour menu was fantastic - both sips and bites. They neighbor several great businesses in the plaza, and are a quick walk from the @pbculturalcenter .

Bonus - there is an outdoor bar & patio in the back if you need to escape into fresh air... But we'll leave that for you to discover ;)

Nestled in an unassuming little plaza off of NE 4th Ave in Middle River Terrace, is this charming neighborhood bistro serving breakfast and lunch.

The menu is crafted with creativity and heart, featuring delicious and unique offerings like "Bacon Me Crazy" (pictured), "Avo-Cuddle Toast" and "Meat ME n' the Mornin" . We also enjoyed their limited offering of Key Lime Donuts 🤤

There are a few cozy tables inside, as well as seats at the bar and a lovely patio in the back - perfect outdoor eating weather is just around the corner!

Celebrating 2 years in November, this establishment is full of neighborly vibes and deserves your full attention ♥️ Make sure to stop by, indulge, and spread the word!

We had been peeping this rad coffee spot in #oaklandpark by @liveoaklyn on TikTok and decided to finally check it out. As someone who adores a solid cup of coffee, this place did not disappoint! The pastries were fresh and the facts were friendly. Bonus points if you follow them up with dinner and drinks across the way at @bondisushi!

We recently explored a local female-owned gem in Hollywood! Stepping inside felt familiar and cozy, like we were visiting a friend. The owner, Harumi, was an absolutely warm and kind host, serving us some of her most popular dishes and giving us some backstory on how it's all made from scratch. Check out this spotlight on Ceviche Dozo, and stay tuned for when we return and chat with Harumi to learn more about Japanese food!

Rainy days are here… and so are the visitors ☔️

Whether you’ve got friends in town or just need a little staycation moment, it’s always good to have options when the beach isn’t calling your name.

Based on local recs + some personal favorites, here’s a solid starting point:

There's a new coffee shop in #victoriapark! With lots of seating, warm sunshine, serving delicious @panthercoffeeroasters (a personal gold star for me) - this is a great stop on a lazy morning or on the way to the beach. Bonus - this lovely cafe is also a little bookshop, and they do include a special selection for the littles.

The ribbon cutting at @bondisushi in Oakland Park didn't miss 🎯 The evening was an exciting mix of great people, delicious bites and superb cocktails. While this glamorous occasion marked celebration for this establishment, they've already gained popularity in the neighborhood, reservations are recommended If you're dining in for a date night!

Bondi Sushi isn't just great for an evening out, they also have a dedicated take out section for those on the go, and an amazing cocktail bar tucked away in case you just need a sip before or after your sushi.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
