  1. THE WANDER SHOP The men’s and women’s boutique owned by Marisa Folz began its life in a pop-up tent, then an Airstream, before finding a headquarters in July 2018. 915 N. Flagler Drive
  2. WINE WATCH After 36 years of selling nothing but special wines from a totally cramped space, Wine Watch moved across the street. It now has its own wine bar and happily continues its wildly popular pop-up dinners. 837 NE Third Ave.
  3. INVASIVE SPECIES BREWING A brewery known for crazy concoctions—like the Ninja Juice, a rice beer fermented with Japanese sake yeast—the taproom is a key stop on the Ale Trail. 726 NE Second Ave.
  4. GLITCH BAR Somehow a video game bar became the hottest club in the area.Tip: Order the margarita. 905 NE Fifth Ave. 
  5. CHOPS + HOPS | AXE THROWING LODGE The stylish circular bar headlining the space would be a draw on its own, although the caged-in axe-throwing aisles make for a fine night out. 702 NE First Ave.
  6. SISTRUNK MARKET PLACE AND BREWERY Fort Lauderdale’s first food hall spent this fall perpetually just about to open, although previews showed a stylish space of various vendors. 115 NW Sixth St.
  7. HENRY’S SANDWICH STATION Owner Marc Falsetto traveled the country searching out recipes to put between two slices of bread. Don’t leave without crunching through the crispy chicken with hot honey. 545 NW First Ave.
  8. PETER FELDMAN PARK A pocket park that serves as the neighborhood’s playground for kids and adults, Peter Feldman hosts a food truck roundup on every second Friday. 310 NE Sixth St. 
  9. RHYTHM & VINE At happy hour, the scene is chill on the AstroTurf that makes up much of this garden bar. Late at night, though, the places turns into one of the city’s hottest spots. 401 NE Fifth Terrace 
  10. NOBLEMEN’S CUT AND SHAVE Old-school barbershop vibes ooze from an otherwise modern space that’s as much a hangout as it is a place for a good trim. 504 NW First Ave. #3204
  11. THE DALMAR Fort Lauderdale’s first downtown hotel in a century brought with it a metropolitan flair, with a fine dining restaurant, super-cool chill lounge and a rooftop bar where ballers go to party. 299 N. Federal Highway
