PROFILE / The Best Local Gems to visit in Fort Lauderdale

Getting funky in Ft. Lauderdale! This charming city on Florida’s southeastern coast often gets overlooked when compared to its close neighbor and bigger South Florida hot spot, Miami, but I don’t think this fun, vibrant place gets enough credit! 

Next up on The Hotel Boss’ tour of all the places you need to go ASAP, I hit up FTL for a look inside some of the best places to eat and drink—from a local brewery making PB&J-flavored beers to a taco truck inside of an Airstream. I also took a ride on one of their super convenient and scenic water taxis which is one of the best ways to get around (and see) this special city. 

I couldn’t leave without a stop at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, so naturally, I did that too, and even got to explore their classic Coral Reefer suite. Watch for more about these amazing local businesses that are turning heads and filling bellies.

FYI / Party crowds spark effort to turn down volume in South Beach

MIAMI (AP) — Miami Beach wants to turn down the volume in the city's South Beach party neighborhood, citing increasingly raucous crowds, public drinking and growing violence, but efforts to curb the carousing have raised complaints about race, class and business practices along one of the nation's most glamorous waterfronts. 

 The 10-block stretch of Ocean Drive known for art deco hotels, restaurants and bars is sandwiched between two areas that cater to more affluent tourists. The tension has been bubbling for years as party crowds grew from a few weekends a year into a year-round presence. The situation worsened during the pandemic when city officials closed the main drag to vehicles and allowed restaurants to offer more outdoor seating, which invited a carnival atmosphere on the street.
