iThink Financial Amphitheatre

By any other name – say Coral Sky, MARS, Sound Advice, the Snuggles Fabric Softener Bear Arena, Cruzan Amphitheatre – this gigantic outdoor shed now called the Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre would still sound as sweet. However, unlike the big, open-air venues up north, ours is available year-round. Music seems to sound better out-of-doors, and Perfect […]

Kendall Village Diner

Once upon a time, Kendall Village Diner was known as Starlite Diner, and it was good.

Kings County Pizza & Heroes

Garlic knots garlic knots garlic knots. If you’re not a connoisseur of all things Italian – you may not be familiar with these greasy, doughy, pungent balls of perfection.

L’Boulevard Cafe

They host weekly all-you-can-drink […]
