RECOMMENDATIONS: Fort Lauderdale things to see and do.

On the beach by Beachplace in Fort Lauderdale be sure to check out "The
Quarterdeck" restaurant with swinging picnic tables and "The Elbow Room"
bar for historical and unusual significance. Downstairs from the
Marriott in Beachplace are a few nice bars.
Howl-at-the-Moon is a dueling piano bar (but don't go there every
night!)

Downtown is the Museum of Art Ft Lauderdale moafl.org

Get info from southflorida.metromix.com.on where to go out and what to do. Check out the annual best-of list.

In Fort Lauderdale there are definitely someplaces NOT to go, since it can get a little shady. Everything on the beach is pretty good so check it out.

Bring quarters and cash when you drive since there is a lot of paid
parking. For many places it may just be easier to catch a cab. There
are always cabs downtown and on the beach. There are
usually bike rickshaws in case you get tired of walking.
