This past week I went to Ft. Lauderdale, FL to visit my dear friend Lindsay. After a two hour flight to Atlanta, and a one hour flight to Ft. Lauderdale, I had arrived.
For those of you who have not been to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area, this is a place to add to your list. Downtown Ft. Lauderdale boats a variety of small restaurants, boutiques, and shops. If you are a beer lover, I would recommend trying American Social Bar, where restaurant-goers can try over fourty tap beers, including "pour it yourself" taps.
The Ft. Lauderdale public beach is not too crazy, lined with bars, shops, and restuarants, and is great for a low key and fun vacation.
Lindsay and I also spent a few afternoons venturing to Miami, FL, about 30 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale. We spent one afternoon exploring Collins Avenue, the main strip of South Beach. Here we found high end retailers, restuarants, and people from all walks of life.
As we made our way to Ocean Drive, we found that it was Art Deco Weekend, this is where vendors from the area display and sell jewelry, art, clothing, etc. Ocean Drive was lined with street performers, shop keepers, and locals and tourists exploring each booth.
If you get a chance, make your way down to South Florida. The art, people, and culture is worth the trip. Thanks to Lindsay for a great vacation!
Cheers,
Samantha
