The Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale opened in 1956, by brothers Bob and Jack Thornton, and it is said to be one of the last preserved mid-century Polynesian restaurants still operating on the mainland today. The Mai Kai was modeled after Don the Beachcomber's famous...
Our favorite restaurant and bar in Delray Beach is not located on the popular Atlantic Ave--it is a little off the beaten path at the intersection of 3rd Street and 3rd Ave, hence the name, 3RD & 3RD. With delicious food, a living room style...
The majority of our time in Dublin was spent at a travel conference, and at a few events that we were able to attend in conjunction with the conference. Although we didn't get much free time to explore the city, we were still able to...
