  • Anthony's Runway 84

    330 State Road 84 Fort Lauderdale

    954-467-8484

    Anthony's has only been around since 1981, but its feel is decidedly old Fort Lauderdale, as in, the retirement community for New York wanna-be wiseguys in need of a decent meatball. The "Italian Sunday feast" is a house special of meatballs, sausage, and pork rib with rigatoni.

  • Da Big Kahuna Restaurant & Tiki Lounge

    17 S. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. Fort Lauderdale

    954-530-4867

    Located amid the Hooters, Fat Tuesdays, and various other tourist fare in Beach Place, Da Big Kahuna Restaurant and Tiki Bar brings a little bit of the West Pacific to the A1A plaza. The ocean air runs through the third-story spot as ocean-themed murals cover the walls and ocean views surround the patio. Tikis stand throughout, and the aloha-rific tablecloths conjure up those tropical T-shirts worn at vacation spots in paradise. Oh, there are also those tropical ladies with flowing black hair and beautiful skin, some of whom came straight from Hawaii just to work at Da Big Kahuna. The island-size drinks continue the theme as they come in coconuts and giant conch shells, and have names like Hawaiian Punch and Jungle Juice - Jungle Juice serves up to four and runs $25. Da Big Kahuna also boasts the Li Hing Mui margarita, which contains a powdery substance found in Hawaii and, now, in Beach Place.

  • Mauro's Pizza

    1904 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood

    954-929-4001

    Late-night slice-seekers rejoice. If you're needing a blisteringly-hot slab of mozzarella-laden reliability, look no further than this boxcar-sized mainstay. Not only do the signs scotch-taped to the wall ("NO PARMESAN, DON'T ASK") make you mind your Ps and Qs, but cashiers will laugh out loud at your debit card (better have a few dollar bills crumpled in your pocket, drunky) and you'll get plenty of big-city attitude from the staff. It's all part of the fun. Gourmet it ain't -- this joint serves your Coke in a can, and if you ask for chevre or pan-fried pea-snaps, best of luck to you. This is East-coast thin-crust at its yummiest. And since there's no A/C, you're bound to people-watch on the sidewalk. When you're out boozing it up in downtown Hollywood and need a full belly at 3 a.m., you probably can't hold a knife or fork correctly anyway, so Mauro's is perfect: hold, fold, scarf. But don't come in wasted and act like an ass, or, as the sign says, no pizza for you.

  • Off the Hookah

    111 SW 2nd Ave., 103 Fort Lauderdale

    954-761-8686

    Off the Hookah is downtown Fort Lauderdale's dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Mediterranean-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to go to bed without having to go home. Or ask a cutie to munch on the Mediterranean platter and share a banana/honey-flavored hookah (not hooker, wiseguy!). Also, there are drink specials during happy hour, ladies’ night, and college night to keep the party going.
