Art Show Invades Las Olas
Another weekend, another Art Show. Didn’t we just have an Art Show a few weeks ago? I believe we did.
When I first moved to Fort Lauderdale I remember thinking how cool it would be to have an art show right in the neighborhood. Real New York City stuff. The first one was 1 week after I moved in.

About Our Reviews
If there's one thing missing on the internet, its honest restaurant reviews by people who know good food when they find it. The problem with "user review" sites is that most people are used to eating Lean Cuisine at home, so anything actually cooked on a stove is a real treat. As for newspapers, they have reviewers, not critics. Newspapers need restaurant's advertising money, so you simply won't see a negative review. This provides some information, but you really can't distinguish the gems from the dumps.
Our grumpy reviewers tell it like it is. No punches pulled. We call a dump a dump. So you'll know what you're getting into. We're very picky, so just because we don't like a place doesn't mean you won't. But if we like it; its good. Some popular searches:

BOB awards are a Joke
The so-called BOB awards (best of the Blogs) are finally concluded, and the results, as suspected, have absolutely nothing to do with having a useful or well designed and presented Blog site. Its fairly apparent that the BOB awards are all about ballot-stuffing. They remind me of those bikini "model" ...

Opinion
Yelp vs UrbanspoonAs someone who’s been reviewing restaurants and clubs for as long as the internet has been around, I take it seriously. Not because I want to feel like my opinions are gospel; but because I’d like to help other people avoid an unexpected experience, particuarly when they’re on vacation and ......
