PIZZA JOINT: How Ya Dough’n
I was gluten-free for about eight years, and the pistachio pie is the first pizza I tried after incorporating gluten back into my diet. I really like the texture of the sourdough crust, and the mozzarella, Havarti, truffle oil, pecorino, pistachio, and honey flavor combo is just perfect. howyadoughn.com
COCKTAIL: French 75 at Brulé Gastro-Kitchen
I enjoy a classic French 75, but I love Brulé’s twist of adding lavender. It still packs a punch but just feels a bit softer. I can’t go to Brulé and not order one, and I typically convince whoever I’m with to order one too. brulegastrokitchen.com
DATE NIGHT: Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar
I could eat at Amar every night and not get bored. There’s just something great about the energy here as soon as you walk in, and the staff is always so friendly. I like a shareable menu for date night, and Amar definitely delivers that. amardelray.com
DESSERT: Miso Bread Pudding at Pubbelly
This is one of the most unique desserts I’ve ever tried, if not the most unique. I don’t like things super-sweet, so I appreciate the savory elements here. I could not stop eating it! The dish features brioche soaked in chocolate-miso custard and black sesame ice cream. pubbellyglobal.com
OUT OF TOWNERS: Deck 84
One of the best things about South Florida is being able to eat outdoors all year long, and it’s even better with a waterfront view. When people come to visit from out of town, that’s exactly what they want to do, and I can’t think of a better option than heading to Deck 84 for an alfresco lunch with the Intracoastal breeze. deck84.com
