With locations in vibrant cities like Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Sixty Vines brings a refreshing, wine-country ease to the dining scene, and it’s the kind that encourages lingering at the table, saying “just one more taste,” and swapping stories over bottles you’ve never tried before.
Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival, taking place Jan. 19-25, showcases Broward County’s renowned and emerging chefs, restaurateurs, and local food & beverage establishments.

The holidays arrived quickly this year, and the moment my mom, Maritza, landed from Puerto Rico, I felt that familiar mix of emotion and excitement settle in.
My recent visit to the Diplomat Spa + Wellness at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, was exactly the kind of escape I didn’t realize I’d been craving.
There’s something about Bulla Gastrobar in Coral Gables that instantly puts you at ease.
