There’s a 110-year-old speakeasy in downtown Delray Beach, and like a time traveler from the distant past, it has returned to its 1908 home in a hidden spot on Atlantic Avenue. In January, Caffe Martier expanded into the space formerly occupied by the Brazilian restaurant Gol!, upping its size by more…
Thursday, November 19 From the truncated hilarity of the Reduced Shakespeare Company to the sly feminist comedy Women Playing Hamlet, the Bard is far from the theater world’s sacred cow. He’s more of a postmodern meme these days — a catch-all for the kind of classical, impenetrable stagecraft that the…
First came the burgers. Then the tacos. And now pizza. On an unremarkable stretch of Himmarshee Street, past the busy late-night bars and Sunday-brunch congestion, you’ll find Fort Lauderdale’s newest artisan pizzeria.

For years, Fort Lauderdale was a beautiful beach resort town, known best for spring break and a casual laid-back atmosphere — and the casual laid-back dining to match it. That meant that locals on the hunt for a good meal would often travel to Delray Beach or Miami. It’s only…

New Yorkers in South Florida hold this truth to be self-evident: pizza is just better up north. Indeed, the Tri-State area is blessed with literally hundreds — if not thousands — of amazing pizzerias. But in a place where each pie is considered “the best,” a pizza shop owner needs to…
Forget going to the bar for a drink. Instead, let the bar come to you. That’s the idea behind Craft Cartel, the new cocktail catering company founded by South Florida mixologists Bobby Brown and Rich Monis, and Boynton Beach’s Sweetwater Bar & Grill co-founder Sean Iglehart. Together, the trio has…
It’s interesting to watch how momentum builds behind a trend once things start to change. For the longest time, Floridian beer lovers fought for — and never thought they’d get – the 64 ounce growler that was the industry standard everywhere else in the country. Your average non-beer nerd had…
