Moonlite Diner

3500 Oakwood Blvd
Hollywood, FL 33020

Andrew K. writes: This 24 hour-50's-like diner in Hollywood was truly a hoot, despite it's "suburban mega-shopping center from Hell" locale. The salad was iceburgy, but great for  $2 extra. The salmon sandwich had quite the hunk of salmon - which was tasty - if not a…

Iron Sushi

120 SE 3rd Avenue
Miami, FL 33231

JD N. writes: I had the beef teriyaki "extra value meal" which comes with either a salad (caesar), miso soup, or soda. Weird choices right? Naturally, at a sushi place, I would rather stick with Japanese offerings, so I chose miso soup.

Anyways. Let me cut to the…

Red White and Blue Thrift Stores

Saks Fifth Avenue

Galleria Mall
