There are many great places in South Florida for bird watching. Located near the beach in Fort Lauderdale, north of Sunrise Boulevard is Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. New mitigation areas have attracted many species of birds to the park. In the fall, an abundance of warblers were seen each day, including rare species like Worm-eating, and Prothonotary warblers. Various species of swallows such as Barn Swallows and Bank Swallows are also seen each year. Kingbirds, Cooper’s Haws and Merlin Vireo can also be found. 
Also in Fort Lauderdale, located on Sheridan Street near Pine Island Ridge Road, is Brian Piccolo Park. The main bird that can be found at this park are Burrowing Owls. The owls are protected by stakes and ropes from other human activity in the park such as baseball fields and joggers. Look for these ropes and stakes around the park to spot the owls. 
In central Hollywood, a tiny nature path known as John Williams Park is a mecca for songbirds during migration. Bird-watchers will also find Screech Owls, Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Cooper’s Hawks. There is a wide paved trail perfect for watchers, joggers as well as a playground for children. Just west of State Road 441 north of Sheridan Street, this bird-watching hotspot is a well-kept secret. 
Graffiti as an art form is taking over large cities all over the USA, including Hollywood, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale. What began as a way to send messages on the street, has evolved into a bold and colorful expression of emotion and artistic talent. Throughout South Florida, Graffiti Art Communities are forming and sharing their messages on the city landscape. 
In Fort Lauderdale, Fat Village is one such community. They hold regular competitions and battles to determine the best graffiti artists in the city. Their work can be found mostly in downtown Fort Lauderdale and areas surrounding the train tracks. Some may mistake these pieces for vandalism, but if you take time to check them out, it is clear that this is art…these artists simply have a bigger canvas than most.
In Downtown Hollywood primarily on Harrison Street, much of the same type of art can be found. Similarly to Fat Village, these artists are attempting to change the way that we view graffiti by creating graffiti that inspires the same way that classical art does. 
Further south in Miami, you can find Wynwood Walls. This gallery is located downtown on NW Second Avenue between 25th and 26th Street. They are open to the public and require no reservations or tickets. Wynwood is definitely the most popular and well-developed of the three locations featuring artists such as Paris’ famous graffiti artist Invader, and Brazil’s Nunca. Wander through the colorful buildings and discover the hidden messages within the walls. 
Ginger Bay Cafe located in Hollywood is perfect for a lively night out on the town. The menu spans all varieties of authentic Jamaican food including jerked wings, curried chicken, and delicious coconut shrimp. With choices like goat, oxtails and yuca fries, Ginger Bay is the perfect place to try something new! All entrees are served with rice, potatoes, or veggies, but I highly recommend the bammy yucca fries or plantains. 
Ginger Bay is known for having some of the best live reggae in South Florida. Jam along with other guests to jazz, soca, drum bands, and classic reggae. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Live reggae on Friday’s and Saturday’s mean a full house prepared to dance the night away. While you dance, sip on a refreshing mojito or daiquiri offered in a variety of flavors. Ginger Bay’s signature drinks are sure to keep you dancing all night long! 
Ginger Bay also offers a great happy hour including $5 shots, sangrias, cocktails, martinis and wine, and $6 margaritas and mojitos. The bar also has $5 wings, fries and fish during happy hour. Ginger Bay is a great place to hold an intimate event full of energy and fun. The perfect location for a birthday, office party, or holiday party, Ginger Bay will leave your group full, relaxed and satisfied. 
The appetizers at Angus Beefeater Steakhouse don't flirt with the trendy but go back to a more traditional (and more enjoyable) selection. The empanadas are a must. Our favorite is matambre de pollo, chicken rolled up around a filling of hardboiled eggs, ham and cheese, served sliced, with a cream sauve on the side. Do not forget to try their famous Chimichurri, served with every warm bread at every meal.

Located right in Hollywood Circle is a taste of Japan. Right when you enter Hello Sushi, it’s as if you have entered another world. The walls are covered with Japanese landmarks and it almost feels as if you’re there. Anime is projected on one side of the walls. Hello Sushi even has the clean and simple décor of Japan down to the last detail.

The people at Harrison’s Wine Bar, also known as Rich and Mary, definitely knew what they were doing here. 
Harrison’s Wine Bar has a wonderfully vast selection of wines in addition to beers, martinis, and drinks. Whatever you choose, it will be perfectly (and strongly) blended by the bartender, Todd, who is exceptionally personable and friendly to everyone! Even the clientele at Harrison’s Wine Bar should be recognized as the beautiful and sexy. There are some great characters here. 
Known as a “lifestyle bar”, Harrison’s Wine Bar is a place where “adventurous couples and singles meet”. They also have ladies night, couples night, and happy hour. Hungry? You won’t have to go far for a bite. Harrison’s Wine Bar has the best burgers in town, and delicious tapas. Personally, I would recommend Todd’s Tacos – your choice of turkey, sirloin, or chicken with authentic chime churry and taco sauce. Yum!

Yes, the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa is more than a place – it’s an experience! And you can also easily find more quality-certified hotels in Hollywood at 
The popular Hollywood tourism site can likewise be used as a go-to guide for the 
Hollywood CRA was “created to redevelop Hollywood as a dynamic place to invest, work, live, and play”. And that’s exactly what it is. The people, venues, history, and liveliness in the City of Hollywood is contagiously enticing. It’s no wonder one of 
“Bon Appetit,” said the waitress as she served the complimentary baguettes with olive butter (homemade, of course). Bistro 1902 brings the French experience to the fullest extent….and it’s right in the comfort of Hollywood Boulevard. However, nothing less should be expected when their executive chef has cooked for Le Jules Verne at the Eiffel Tower. The heavenly French bistro is just the answer when you need a great wine to compliment your delicious meal. 
Bistro 1902 has the brunch you’ve been looking for. They have sweet or savory crepes, French toast, or for the full package – the Bistro 1902 Brunch Special, which comes with eggs, bacon, sweet French toast or crepes, coffee, orange juice, and a champagne cocktail. The French know how to eat! Bistro 1902 also has a delightful lunch menu of baguette sandwiches, pasta, and appetizers, such as escargot. 
Celebrate life at night here! Bistro 1902 has live music every Friday night. Feast on the delicious slices of fresh duck foie gras glazed with raspberry vinegar. Just saying it makes me crave for more. The French comfort food of choice would definitely be the beef bourguignon. It is braised for four hours in a red wine sauce and served with carrots, onions, and pasta. Cooked to perfection! Don’t forget the crème brulee! It is truly a divine dessert cooked with berries and a generous sweet topping.
