Recently I went back to my hometown of Fort Lauderdale aka Fort Liquordale for a wedding and to visit my family and friends. It was truly an amazing week, with beautiful weather, great food and good times. As I walked along the beach I couldn’t stop thinking about how very luck I am to be in paradise, compared to most of the country snowed in. I was able to venture out and find some new places I have never been before, which usually turns into great stories. Here are a few new spots I recommend checking out.
My buddy Rocco was talking about this new hot dog joint that recently opened near his house, so we decided to check it out. It’s in a great location called The Cove, which is across the bridge from Deerfield Beach. Being that the weather couldn’t get any better we walked from his house. I just love the name, Beach Buns. It’s a cool little hot dog place to check out if you are on the way to the beach.
Le Tub is one of the most interesting restaurants I’ve been to recently. It is located in Hollywood right on the intercoastal waterway. They are known for their extremely large sirloin burgers, homemade chili and seafood gumbo. It’s a very rustic place with a tropical ambiance and yes, bathtubs and toilets located through the restaurant. The bartender said it’s a packed house every weekend with the party lasting until 4am. I really enjoyed Le Tub and would recommend patronizing if you get a chance.
I never feel more at peace than when I’m sitting on the sand gazing off into an amazing horizon of blue. It’s when the water seems to meet the sky that you realize there is so much more out there. Being caught up in the big city lifestyle most of the time really starts to take its toll on you. If you want to relax and really clear your mind get to the Ocean. Mother nature’s therapy at its best. ~Keep It Simple!
