Not sure about you, but I am happy to celebrate the arrival of fall and eventually cooler weather. I made a couple of escapes over the summer to visit family in Illinois and vacation in Medellin, Colombia. Both had beautiful spring-like weather.
When you step back out of the terminal upon arrival at one of South Florida’s airports in summer, it’s like entering a steamy jungle. Since some of you have asked, the affluent areas of Medellin seem very safe these days and, no, I didn’t do the Pablo Escobar tour. I can tell you the foodie scene is vibrant and sometimes half the cost of South Florida.
It’s time to get excited about the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which starts Oct. 30 and runs through Nov. 3. Press releases for the show couldn’t be found before deadline, so sign up for our newsletter (LMGFL.com) and we’ll keep you posted.
Our 10 list this month celebrates waterfront dining. One place I can’t wait to check out is Marina Village by Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach, which is the epicenter of the boat show.
Those going to the show at Pier Sixty-Six Resort and Marina should get a pretty good view of the $1 billion in improvements. I am very excited about the rebirth of The Pier and what it means to our local economy. Check out the cover story in our sister publication, South Florida Business and Wealth, at SFBWmag.com.
Lifestyle’s cover features one of our favorite restaurateurs, Angelo Elia. Angelo is not only one of the top chefs in the region, but his heart is as big as the veal chops he serves up. Thanks to him for all he does to make South Florida a better place.
