"Turkey Lurkey." Broadway fans will get the reference in the title, for the rest of you, search it on YouTube to see Baayork Lee and Donna McKechnie in the swinging 1960s show, “Promises, Promises,” before their roles in “A Chorus Line” made them stars. You can watch it while getting ready to head out to Thanksgiving dinner, heating up an already prepared meal, or basting the turkey you’re cooking yourself.
Picture it, Miami 2023! The Golden Girls Kitchen, a dining experience based on the popular television series, has opened as a pop-up restaurant in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. The Golden Girls Kitchen whisks guests the moment they walk through the doors into the world of this endearing fan favorite. The experience jet sets fans back to the 1980s, transporting them into the world of their favorite golden girls.

After decades as one of Fort Lauderdale's favorite restaurants, Canyon moved from its distinctive location on Sunrise Blvd. to a larger space on Federal, just south of the Kinney Tunnel. It still serves unique American artisanal cuisine with Asian, South and Central American undertones, in an intimate space with an upscale atmosphere. My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal for our 29th wedding anniversary. Being off-season, it was easy to get a reservation, even on a Saturday night. We arrived right on time and were greeted with friendly smiles and wishes for a happy anniversary (the reservation form asks if it is a special occasion) and were promptly shown to the worst table in the restaurant (a tiny two-top against a post next to the kitchen and bus station). I asked for a better table, and we were seated near a window along the comfortable banquette.
Goldberg Delicatessen and Bagels recently opened in the space that housed many unsuccessful predecessors, each lasting only two years (Santa Lucia, Ruggero’s Ristorante, Brown Dog Eatery, and most recently, Kraft Bistro & Deli).
So many of us make a night of it by going out for dinner before we take in a performance, whether it’s a play or concert.
It was 10 years ago that television writer Tracy Dawson met with studio executives, sharing the shows that resonated with her and where she could see herself writing. The response was not what she expected: they had hired out spots for female writers and were not in need of more.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg (1926 - 1997) was an American poet and writer. As a student at Columbia University in the 1940s, he began friendships with Lucien Carr, William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, forming the core of the Beat Generation. He vigorously opposed militarism, economic materialism, and sexual freedom, multiculturalism, hostility to bureaucracy and openness to Eastern religions.
We have warm weather 12 months a year here in South Florida, which means we can truly enjoy frozen treats all year long. And as the old song goes, "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream."
Investigating obscure mysteries is often fun but not often rewarding. However, publishing information about one puts it out there and other armchair sleuths piggyback on the work you have laid out. That is just what happened with my July 17, 2019 investigation on the mysteries Allen Parsons, published in the South Florida Gay News. The statute of limitations on the case had run out and were no longer chargeable, but I still figured it would be a fun piece to read and thought it to be practically unsolvable after 40 years.
