willysgrandma Posted May 4, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Go to the beach. There is a trolley that takes you for 50 cents one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donato Posted May 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Take the water bus all around, $11.00 each all day, off and on all you want. Have lunch at the downtown saloon, it is one of the water bus stops. Go to Las Olas Blvd for dinner and people watching that night. Make reservations while you are down there in the afternoon because it will be crowded at night or just go to the bar to drink while you wait for your table.

asoutherngal Posted May 10, 2007 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Almost the same for us we will staying at the Sheraton Yankee Clipper Friday and Sat night 7/13 - 7/15. Anything close to this Hotel? boom op: We stayed at the Yankee Trader in February--Not much really close by but if you like to walk, there are some great places within 8-10 blocks. It is close to the water taxi stop http://www.watertaxi.com We used both the trolley that stops in front of the hotel as well as the water taxi that is a couple of blocks away from rear of hotel--great cheap transportation. My favorite on the water place is Coconuts Bahama Grill--right on Intercoastal Waterway with great food and great drinks--very casual place. Discovered it by accident couple of years ago and have been back several times since. There is both water bus and trolley stop within couple of blocks. Have a great time!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asoutherngal Posted May 10, 2007 #11 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Oops--just noticed that you are at Yankee Clipper--right around the corner from Coconut and near both trolley and water bus!!! Old age crept up--one of those senior things!!!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted May 10, 2007 #12 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Go to Tom Jenkin's on US-1 and 17th (I think). YUMMY sandwiches!!! A little north of 17th, an easy stroll, voted best ribs in Ft Lauderdale 5 years in a row....my favorite. Be prepared to stand on line though, but well worth the wait. ;) http://www.tomjenkinsbbq.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm Canadian. Yes, I probably have an accent (I could hear theirs, they could probably hear mine). No need to misdirect me. :( ;) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
