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.

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.
