Fresh Seafood Is Served With a View at Two Georges Waterfront Grille

February 26, 2015 by

Locals have been eating at Two Georges Waterfront Grille for more than 50 years, thanks in part to the eatery's reputation for serving fresh seafood. Two Georges's location doesn't hurt, either, as it's perched right on the intracoastal waterway, and regulars recommend requesting a table on the waterfront deck where you can enjoy the breeze as you watch the boats go by.

House specials include seared Ahi tuna rolled in toasted sesame seeds and served rare with wasabi and pickled ginger, as well as broiled sea scallops with a baked potato. Of course, as with any seafood restaurant located right on the water, it's always a good idea to pay close attention to the daily chef specials, which likely include the very freshest items. Landlubbers are advised to enjoy the barbecued baby back ribs, which arrive with coleslaw and pasta salad.

Start Your Day Right With a Visit to The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

February 12, 2015 by

Bagels are a traditional food, and you can't mess with tradition, right? Right. But you can improve on tradition, say the owners of Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. This bagel bakery combines an old-world artisanal bagel recipe with advanced water purification technology, which, in turn, gives this shop's boiled bagels their signature flavor. What does that mean for customers? Reliable, tasty bagels that are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside!

Stop by on your way to work and pick up a dozen bagels and housemade cream cheese for the office. Try a whole wheat bagel with strawberry cream cheese, or sink your teeth into an onion bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. If you're looking for something a bit heartier, try one of the restaurant's signature sandwiches. Maybe tuna salad and American cheese on a toasted plain bagel will hit the spot!

This no-frills, fast-casual restaurant franchise has been serving homestyle Peruvian food to South Florida for 15 years, and regular diners say the eatery has it down to an art.
