MARIO'S CATALINA - One of our favorites, and not just because of the incredibly good mojitos! Whether you crave a perfect Cuban lechon (pork roast) or superior snapper or any other latin dish, this is the place. And you might see us there, too! Ask for Mario, the owner, and tell him we sent you.

CHARLEY'S CRAB - Is walkable, about 7 blocks due north of the motel set back west of NE 33 rd Avenue on 32 nd . If you go, make sure you get there before sunset, and make sure you get a table outside on the Intracoastal Waterway. The sun setting behind the yachts gliding past is gorgeous, and the seafood is marvelous.

THE GREEK ISLANDS - ohmigoshthisplaceissogood. Classic, authentic and savory. We love this place, especially the front terrace for a slow meal with good friends. The souvlaki is outstanding, the lamb superb. On A1A, just north of Oakland Park on A1A, east side.

IRELAND's INN - the hotel "across the street from us", actually across A1A and directly on the beach. We mean directly . The inside dining room offers a more formal dining experience, while the beachside patio restaurant and bar is definitely swim-wear casual. Either one provides fabulous views of the ocean and the food is good. This is a great place to have breakfast, too.

SUSHI-THAI - by far our favorite Thai restaurant ever. We go there so much the owners make us feel like family. It is located on US 1 (also called Federal Hwy) on the west side, just north of Oakland Park Blvd. Look for the entrance to Solid Gold, and Sushi-Thai is in the small strip plaza in front.
PIZZA RUSTICA - They deliver! But honestly, you will want to stroll or drive to this small pizzeria and see all of the mouth-watering combinations they offer. This is the only place we go for pizza ourselves! Located on the street parallel to the Oakland Park bridge just a few doors in from A1A.
