Now that Miami Spice is over, head north to Fort Lauderdale for dining deals. The Dine Out Fort Lauderdale program runs through November 14 at restaurants such as Hi-Life Café, China Grill, and Trina (no connection). You can dine on prix-fixe lunches and dinners Sundays through Thursdays, although it’s always recommended that you check the hours of “Dine Out” deals with a specific restaurant. Also, many restaurants are not offering specials during Boat Show Week which is October 30 through November 3. The Herald dishes on some of the deals here. Here is the list of participating restaurants.
Due to the proclaimed “overwhelming success” of Miami Spice, and probably owing to hard times as well, many Miami restaurants are extending their prix-fixe menu runs. Several of these specials are even offered seven days a week, although some only for dinner. I recommend making reservations at any of these restaurants. Here are some of the deals:
