AROUND TOWN


 

       
       
       
La Spada's first opened in 1972 by John La Spada, Parkside, PA.  The shop was located on Bougainvilla Drive, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea; just south of Commercial Blvd.  John expected the top seller to be his famous Philly Cheese Steak Sub; however, the rang up the register for Italian Specials; that the Philly Cheese became an afterthough.  John sold the sub shop and moved out of town around 1979 or so.  The sub's moved to its permanent home on Sea Grape Drive and has remained since.  Their sub's have remained excellent even though the founders are long gone from South Florida.    
Pomperdale's Orginally opened in 1972 and has been in the same location. In 1980 Larry and Joyce Vogel purchased Pomperdale NY Jewish Deli and the rest they say is history.   If you don't know Pomperdale's, you will never convince anyone you are from Fort Lauderdale Beach.     
Elbow Room Oldest bar in Fort Lauderdale located on the famed A1A strip at the corner of Las Olas and A1A.    
15th Street Fisheries One of the best views of the Fort Lauderdale waterway with  outstanding food.    
One of the most unique dining and entertainment places in all of South Florida. Since 1956, the Mai-Kai is a Polynesian Village, complete with tiki torches, a thatch roof, and a wooden plank bridge entrance.  The Polynesian dancers keep it real.    
Jack's Hamburgers Since opening Jack's Hamburgers in July 1972, owner Jack Berry has kept the brand growing strong.  On Saturday at Noon don't expect to find a seat though because locals swarm the place after every youth sporting event.  Jack Berry was maitre d' at the old Dante's Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale before opening the joint. You'll find moist hand-pressed burgers with good beefy flavors made from inside round and brisket -- cut and ground twice daily on premises. This ain't fast-food burgers here. The golden brown fries with steamy, fluffy white spud interiors make McD's tame.
