Brad Kilgore

Best Used Bookstore

Old Florida Book Shop

Jun 20, 2023

The Old Florida Book Shop is not very old. Though the Dania Beach shop opened in 2009, its interior design — towering, floor-to-ceiling shelves punctuated by ornate lamps, grandfather clocks, and desk globes — suggests a wisdom far beyond its 14 years. Like any 14-year-old, however, Old Florida Book Shop...

Branja Miami

Jun 20, 2023

Why settle for a salad when you can order "Tom[atoes] 'n' Tahini"? This inventive Israeli restaurant shines with light from both the stained-glass ceiling and the exuberant talent...
Best Power Couple
