“Where should we eat tonight?” LasOlas? Lauderdale by the Sea Pavillion?Take a drive up to Worth Avenue? HowAbout South Florida’s newest restau-rant row, Wilton Drive. In case youblinked, The Drive is quickly transform-ing into a dining meca. And it’s here tostay. Sushi, Italian, Thai, AmericanFusion, Tapas, French, GourmetBurgers, Delightful Desserts and CozyCafé’s are the new tenants on WiltonDrive. And there’s more on the way.

It’s a new atmosphere taking overWilton Drive these days. Slowly replac-ing the wild nightlife partiers and dancedivas are couples out for a night of deli-cious dining followed by a leisurely strollalong Wilton Drive while window shop-ping art galleries and antique stores andthen stopping for ice cream or a gour-met cupcake. And this new Wilton Driveisn’t just burgers and fries. Welcome tothe new Eat Street USA.

Sushi lovers are choosing Eat Street,AKA, Wilton Drive as their first choicefor that Sushi satisfaction. The word is

spreading about Wilton Manors’wide array of Sushi Spots such asGaysha, Hard Rock Sushi, SiamCusine, Tee-Jay, Galanga and SozoSushi Bar. “We come here at leastonce a month,” Galanga diner andsushi lover Nadine Roberts ofDania Beach says. “We call it thesushi strip. There’s no other placewhere you can walk a few blocks andfind such a wide array of sushi estab-lishments and delicious Thai food.”

Let’s take a look at a few of thenewer establishments that youmay want to visit. They all havesomething special to offer andshould not disappoint any hungrydiner. We’ll start off with 13 even,who’s motto is “they serve goodjuju.” From flatbreads to paninisto some of the juiciest oysters inBroward County, 13 even hasquickly become a local favoritefor diners. On the same blockyou’ll find Wilton Manor’s newesteatery, Mind Your Manorswhich boasts a delicious salmonbruschetta, amazing black beanhummus and the soon to be fa-mous, Wilton Cheesesteak.

Across the street is Scarfone’sCoal Fired Pizza. Not quite your av-erage pizza shop, Scarfone’s is one ofthe swankiest pizzerias you will everfind and their salads, such as theCaesar salad with anchovies andspinach salad topped with rosemary

chicken are the talk of the walk.Located at the Gateway of

Wilton Drive inside WiltonStation you’ll find Eat Streetsbrightest new star, Oscar’s TeaRoom. Lite Biters and tea tottlersfrom across Broward County are

making Oscar’s a must do destina-tion. A cup of English Tea pouredfrom a Queen Elizabeth Teapotcombined with a Victoria

Sandwich is the new Wilton rage. “This is our third trip to Oscar’s,”Mary Bowen of Sea Ranch Lakessaid as she sipped her CamomileTea. “We love the atmosphere, theteas and especially the homemadedesserts made from scratch”Mary’s tea mate Robert agreedstating that eating sandwiches,British trifles and scones atOscar’s was like taking a mini tripto Old England. “We’re treatedlike royalty here,” Robert said ashe took a bite of raspberry co-

conut shortbread.Is there any restaurant in the

I don’t want to dietrying to cross 15thAvenue at a legallymarked crosswalk andI shouldn’t have to bewriting a letter to theeditor to get this dan-gerous safety hazardlooked at by our city officials.

Wilton Driveparking problemsolved!

First , I would like to cast my ‘NO’vote early against any of my hardearned tax dollars being used to build aparking garage. If we are so gung ho onbuilding such a monstrosity along theDrive then let the business owners usetheir own money. It’s their “entertain-ment district” so they should “entertain”the idea of co-mingling their profits topay for a place for THEIR CUS-TOMERS to park.

But I do believe I have a solution tothis parking dilemma and the residentswill not have to spend a dime. Back inthe day there was a strip of nightclubsat the corner of Federal Highway and Oakland Park. Like the Drive, too many bars in one area. MontegoBay, Uptown,S e p t e m b e r s ,Roland’s, Dina’sTreehouse, CaféMartinique andothers. I was partof a valet parkingcrew that workedall the bars andwe would run thecars over to theBritts DepartmentStore parking lot at the Coral RidgeMall. We were young and in shape so itwasn’t that hard. On a Friday andSaturday Night we would be parking acouple thousand cars

Why can’t these Wilton Drive busi-ness owners do the same? Make a smalldonation to the high school serviceclubs and use the Fort Lauderdale HighSchool parking lot or the city municpalgarage lot or even the Publix lot latenight. It’s not that far of a run for a valetparker and hiring security guards tokeep an eye on the vehicles solves thenext dilema. Parking Problem Solved.

I sincerely worryabout a hurricane hit-ting us or, even a minortropical storm. Theseold wooden poles lookworn enough that evena big bad wolf couldhuff and puff and blowthem down. Let’s wakeup people. Hopefully I’mnot the only one who no-tices this. I hope we havesome kind of plan for thefuture. I also hope thatour city planners have in-sisted that all new devel-opments being planned

and or built must install undergroundutility lines and not allow poles.

WestsideResidentsMickeledPink!$1.4 Million inimprovementsplannedBY MARK KAPLANIslander staff

Wilton Manors – It’s not the $2.1 mil-lion that was talked about, but MickelField is slated to receive about $1.4 mil-lion in funding for improvements overthe next two years.

“I want to get things moving now,”said Commissioner Scott Newton.

Last month, commissioners unani-mously approved spending $1.4 millionon redeveloping the park. The plannedimprovements, which were spurred byan increase in crime there and a de-crease in its use by residents, include: awalking trail, estate-style fencing, apavilion, shade canopies, fitness equip-ment, new bathroom and a volleyballcourt. One resident asked that a newplayground be installed and officialssaid they would look into finding grantmoney to pay for it. Officials also wantto turn the concession stand into a po-lice substation. The small baseball fieldwill be removed to make room for theimprovements but the big one will beleft in place.

The city won’t take action thoughuntil the finance department nails downthe terms of the $744,000 loan. Theother half of the money would comefrom a combination of impact fees,grant moneys and general funds. CityManager Joseph Gallegos said the cityhas already secured $55,000 in grantsbut he assured the commission thatmore grants could be obtained. MayorGary Resnick added that the city may beable to get some of the county moneyleftover from the $400 million countyparks bond passed in 2000.

The interest payments over the life ofthe 15-year loan come to about $40,000but Finance Director Bob Mays said hemight be able to negotiate a better in-terest rate than 2.95 percent one he pre-sented to the commission. “A $5,000 amonth loan payment is very doable forthis city,” said Resnick.

Borrowing the money did causesome concern amongst commissioners.Vice Mayor Julie Carson and Newtonexpressed support for the project butseemed reluctant to borrow $744,000.“Maybe get the money a different way,”suggested Carson.

Commissioner Ted Galatis seemed of-fended by the reluctance of commis-sioners. He pointed out that theypreviously spent $390,000 to buy tworesidential properties that may be usedto expand Hagen Park. “We’ve let it goto hell. It’s time to fix it,” said Galatisabout Mickel. Galatis and Newton votedagainst the Hagen properties purchase.

Galatis’ support for Mickel drew loudapplause from the residents in atten-dance.

Westside Association President SalTorre said investing in Mickel would en-courage more development alongPowerline Road and the Westside com-munity.

Resnick said the park had fallen onhard times lately but that it could be the“gem” it once was. “This is going tobenefit the whole city.”

We really must discuss the redevel-opment trends of South Florida andthe availability of drinking water inthe future. As our real estate economyrecovers Broward County, in fact allof Florida, are witnessing many newplans for housing construction—espe-cially rental units. As a result, we aregetting close to the limits of howmuch water can be pumped out of thestate’s aquifers. What exactly doesthis mean to you? Higher costs fordrinking water and sewage treatment.If your heart palpitates now when youopen that Wilton Manors water billyou better plan on purchasing a defib-rillator for the future.

Across Broward County, more than3,200 apartment units are currentlyunder construction with 8,800 in theplanning stage. This includes the 179unit rental complex on N.E. 24thStreet in Wilton Manors and Possibledevelopment of the church lot on26th. Three golf courses in the countyare about to be paved over for hous-ing developments, Fort Lauderdale

has several big high rise structuresbeing erected. The gigantic $1 billionMetropica mixed-use developmentwill be built in Sunrise on the edge ofthe Everglades. Where are we goingto get the water? Where are we goingto get a second job to supplement ourincome to pay the water bill?

In none of the affected communi-ties—nor at the county level—haveserious questions been asked byelected officials about the future

availability and cost of drinkingwater and sewage treatment. CentralFlorida has the same worries as us.Their supply faces a 250-million-gal-lon per day water shortfall. We needto look towards Sarasota to find any-one in this state who is taking action.Four counties in that area collabo-rated to create an independent waterdistrict which has a combination ofunderground and above-groundreservoirs where more than 9 milliongallons of water can be stored. So itcan be done!

The challenge South Florida faces istrying to harness, capture and storethe millions of gallons of fresh waterthat drains into the ocean. We mustfigure this out now. It is both sad anddangerous that our civic leaders, daz-zled by the potential tax revenues gen-erated from redevelopment, have notfigured in the cost of the comingSouth Florida water shortage.

Many thanks to this month’s contributing editor, Paul Kuta, for his input and knowledge.

The smell of roasting coffee beanswill lure you to the other side of theopen gates at Eucalyptus Gardens.The intoxicating scent is coming fromThe Alchemist, the coffee shop thathas anchored the Gardens since itsopening. The little gem of a place istucked away in the elbow of NE 13thAvenue off of 26th Street. Its locationis close enough for anyone in WiltonManors to make the trip but not soconvenient that you’ll be stopping byon your way to work.

While most coffee shops experiencea morning rush, the 8 o’clock hour isthe calmest at The Alchemist. They’rejust opening up for the day. There is nolong line, no complicated menu options,and no need to write your name on theoutside of a paper cup. Likewise, youwon’t find yourself checking yourwatch while you wait for the barista to

make your latte because The Alchemistis not a place to check your watch. It’s aplace where coffee and tea are takenslowly and seriously.

Inside the unassuming building is avirtual laboratory of glass beakers,siphons, and burners; bubbling water,and café concoctions being concocted.There are a few tables inside, but mostof the seating is out of doors near thegarden or under the cover of a formerorchid house with tables made from re-claimed wood and adorned with pottedorchids in bloom and for sale.

Five dollars will get you a croissantwith turkey, Swiss cheese, an egg, andavocado. You can also have toasted rus-tic Italian bread with buttery butter andjammy jam or an undeniably yummybrie with honey and sliced almonds. Iwas lucky enough to have tried andbeen delighted by all three.

The restaurant business is hard. Eventhe good ones can have a difficult timestaying open. This can make dining outrather frustrating at times. If you haveany disposable income at all, the antici-pation of an eatery with both atmos-phere and a substantial menu can beequal to the disappointment that beginsthe countdown to closing the doors ofthat same eatery. On Wilton Drive alone,Islanders have watched them come andgo like flights out of Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International.

A few weeks ago, Mind Your Manorsopened its doors in the space once occu-pied by the now failed Pinche Taqueria.The concept for MYM is simple,straightforward, and solid: a one-pagepaper menu filled with updatedAmerican classics, a relaxed atmospherewith friendly service, and a craft beer se-lection to woo any beer lover among us.

After a failed attempt at dinner on acrowded Saturday night, I met with bet-ter success on the following Mondayevening. Yet, even without the crowd,there was a steady stream of people thatdidn’t make the place feel empty.

For starters, you can choose from ap-petizers like fried mushrooms, stuffedmushrooms, and smoked salmon br-

uschetta. The menu is filled out withsandwiches, burgers, and a dailydessert menu.

I began with the black bean hummuswhich arrived with warm pita trianglesand slices of tomato and cucumber. Thewaiter recommended the special, ablackened grouper sandwich and theMYM house burger. I was tempted toorder the burger which comes with brieand bacon. However, I’ve found it’s al-ways best to

judge a dining establishment by the sim-plest item so, I went with the classiccheeseburger—just the patty and a sliceof cheddar between two toasted but-tered buns. The patty was a perfectlycooked blend of ground chuck, shortrib, and brisket. The fries were golden,crispy, and tender.

And yes, the blackened grouper sand-wich was also ordered and equally en-joyed with a side of sweet potato friesand a marshmallow dipping sauce.

From the list of 10 or so bottled crafts,I tried the Hazed and Infused, a hoppedup Boulder ale, and the Smoked Porter,a darker choice but also a delight. Themeal was finished with a slice of whitechocolate cheesecake. The only disap-pointment was that they didn’t have anycoffee to go with it.

The bottom line is that MYM has thefoundation it needs to be a staple onThe Drive.

Tell your taste buds that biting into theWilton Cheese Steak is a must! Finalrecommendation to readers: Go. Eat.Enjoy yourself and if you want an atten-tive waiter with Southern manners, askfor Kyle.

The Alchemist…from page 6

While the drinks are the main attrac-tion, I cannot overstress how perfectlycooked the egg on my croissant turnedout to be. The yolk was the properamount of gooey, and I’m eager to re-turn to find out whether this is a consis-tent achievement.

A few more dollars will allow you toenjoy tea, soda, or a coffee drink made

from the beans hand-roasted on siteevery day. The Alchemist employs asiphon brewing method which protectsthe integrity of the coffee itself with abriefer exposure to water at a lowerthan typical temperature. Everything atthe Alchemist is about preserving theintegrity of what arrives on the table.Even the iced coffee is served with icecubes made from coffee so as not to di-lute the strength of flavor.

The establishment provides a casual,communal atmosphere that belies the

artistry of their brew. With a littlemore time and trouble in making ad-justments to their formula, TheAlchemist just might be able to turnjava into gold.

Cafe Vico1125 North Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale954-565-9681

Talk about hidden secrets, diamondsin the rough, the oasis in the desert…Café Vico is it. And, believe it or not, it’sjust around the corner. You could walkthere. Never heard of it? Neither did ourfoodie patrol until one of us had to runto the Comcast Office to pay their billbecause, supposedly, The Islanderdoesn’t pay their employees enough,and there, buried in the corner of thisstrip center was a sign that read, CaféVico. We tried it and what a great din-ing experience Café Vico is.

Café What, you ask? Never heard ofit? You’ve been to that strip mall a mil-lion times. Isn’t that the same strip cen-ter where Mr. Laffs was? What’s itcalled? Café Who?

Café Vico is one of the best restau-rants in Fort Lauderdale, PERIOD!Phenomenal Food, Fantastic atmos-phere, beautifully decorated and theyhave a quaint outdoor garden patio fordining. The piano bar is no slouch either.If you’re a Casa D’Angelo fan then youwill love Café Vico too. We could go onand on but let’s talk food. We ducked inon a Sunday Night and started our mealoff with one of our favorite things-Bread. We were served homemaderolls at the beginning of our dinner thatcame with a incredible garlic and oliveoil dipping concoction that is truly outof this world. Be careful, you may bedoggie bagging your main course be-cause you will not want to stop eatingthe bread. If you’re a garlic fan, theserolls will be you new all time favorite.

For our appetizers, we orderedSalmon Carpaccio, the cold antipastoand Portabello Mushrooms. All weredelicious, especially the SalmonCarpaccio. The grilled PortabelloMushrooms were double good whendoused in Café Vicos homemade bal-samic vinegar sauce. We also had ataste of their sautéed Broccoli Rabewhich is a garlic lover’s dream cometrue. You won’t find any vampires hang-ing out at this restaurant.

We can only say the main entreeseach of us ordered were sheer perfec-tion. One of the foodies at our tableclaims this is the best lasagna she hasever had. “Exceptional” was her exactwords. The Veal Chop may be the best

in Broward. The homemade VeggieRavioli is soooooo amazingly good andthe Black Spaghetti with sausage wasoff the Italian eatery charts (you must trythe black spaghetti for yourself.) Thefolks at the table next to us also wereraving about the Ravioli and theEggplant Parmesan as well. What canwe say… This place is good! We cannotforget to mention the homemadedesserts. The New York Cheesecakemust surely be baked by a true NewYork transplant and be warned, if youorder the Berry Pie you’ll be addicted.

Bring your credit card. Pricing is justa bit above moderate but worth everydime in credit card interest payments.Café Vico has a full bar and is open forboth lunch and dinner.

up some fantastic bar food and deli-cious pizza. Where else can yourorder a Shepherd’s Pie Pizza? TheIslander staff has become big fans oftheir Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Lookingfor a quick bite? Kelly’s Kitchen hasan appetizer menu offering wings,tenders, Mahi fingers and even beerpretzel bites. They have a great se-lection of sandwiches too. The PhillyCheese Steak and the Kelly BrothersGorgonzola Cheese Burger is highlyrecommended.

If you’re a draft beer aficionadothen you might want to stop in andgrab a mug of Guinness dark,Smithwicks, Harp, Stella, MagnersCider or one of the 12 other brewsthey have on tap. And speaking ofdrinking, the very best thing aboutKelly Brothers Irish Pub is that thedrinks are very reasonably priced.So bring your friends and spend afew hours.

City officials here have $63,300 inCommunity Block Grant Funding tospend. They don’t know how to use it yetbut they do know this: it has to be spentin the Highlands Estates neighborhood.To help them figure it out they’re lookingfor input from residents.

The Highlands, a dense collection ofhouses, duplexes, triplexes and apart-ment and condo units, is the only neigh-borhood in the city to qualify for thefederal funding. Located north ofNortheast 26 Street and east of North -east 6 Avenue across the water from theK-Mart in Oakland Park, the money hasto be spent on physical improvements.

The city can’t use the funding for so-cial programs because, said CityManager Joseph Gallegos, the countyhas already allocated Community BlockGrant Funding for that purpose.

Residents can submit ideas for how tospend the money, either during the nextcommission meeting on August 12 or tothe city manager’s office directly.

Resident Michael Rajner suggestedthat the money could be used for moresidewalks, a dog park or storm shuttersfor low-income elderly residents.

Commissioners Tom Green and TedGalatis agreed with Rajner on side-walks. “We will look at that as a possi-bility,” said Gallegos.

Green also proposed the possible ad-dition of shade cover over the play-

ground at Island City Park Preserve,which is located in the Highlands. “It’salmost a crime not to provide shade overa play area,” said Green.

Paul Rolli, president of the CentralArea Neighborhood Association, sug-gested that some fitness equipmentcould be placed at the park. Sal Torre,president of the Westside Association ofWilton Manors, said a storage facility forkayaks could be built there.

The area has been the recipient of pastCommunity Block Grant Funding – forpark fencing and solar lighting, side-walks, a drainage system, the instillationof artificial turf at a playground and theresurfacing of streets.

Most recently, Community BlockGrant Funding was used to buy a smallpiece of property near Island City ParkPreserve. Located between two residen-tial buildings, the parcel has 14 parkingspaces, a nature trail, a passive recre-ation area, estate-style fencing, land-scaping and irrigation improvements.

“It will help Island City Park Preservewith overflow parking but it also createsan additional space and provides a nicearea for the community to walk in, reada book and just relax,” said Patrick Cann,director of Wilton Manors LeisureServices. Cann added that the additionalparking spaces will help with parkingduring events such as Stonewall and thecity’s summer youth programs.

On July 29, city officials held a ribboncutting to celebrate the expansion.

Ask MissManors

Ready for some more advice from some-one who isn’t your mother? This month Ianswer three questions sent in by new res-idents of Wilton Manors. Let’s get started.

Dear Miss Manors,What are the Wilton Manors Dog

Days of Summer?

Signed,Hot Islander

Dear Hot Islander,Your choices are the following:a) Those super hot days when all

you want to do is lay in the shade withyour dog at Richardson Park just aftergetting your best friend a free icecream at Dairy Queen.

b) A Day when you skip work, stopcalorie counting and hold your ownprivate Wilton Drive ice cream tastetest. On this one day you will visitMenchies, Wilton Creamery, DairyQueen, Juice Blendz and DoubleDippers and try a new flavor at eachplace. Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream.your call. Send your selections ( andsamples) of the best Wilton Manorsice cream flavors or frozen yogurt tothe Miss Manors Ice Cream Poll, c/oMiss Manors.

c) The day you take the kayak outand end up sitting under the MiddleRiver Bridge and falling asleep in thebridge shade.

d) The day when you and yourfriends head over to The Stork and siton the patio sipping gourmet iced cof-fees.

e.) The day you decide to head over

to Kmart, purchase a four foot plasticpool, put it in your back yard, fill itwith cold water and then invite allyour neighbors dogs over for the bigdoggie pool party.

Dear Miss Manors,My love life is a cross between soli-

taire and sudoku. I’m either playingby myself or trying to make compli-cated things add up. I’m 36, and mybiological clock is ticking. I’m tired ofgames. I’m considering ordering ahusband...or maybe even a wife. I’mnormal, fit, nice looking, and fairlycertain I don’t emit a foul odor. Whyis it so hard to meet someone?

Sincerely,Losing Hope

Dear Losing Hope,I’m glad you’re still losing hope be-

cause that means you still have someto lose. Let’s re-evaluate before all ofit is lost. You are not alone. There aremillions of us out there looking for theright person with whom to share ourlives. But let me ask you a question.Are you looking for a stable partnerto build a life with or someone whomakes your feel like you’re riding uni-corns on rainbows 24/7?

In modern society, we often con-flate the two. It’s a lot easier to find thefirst kind of person, but we usuallyhave more fun along the way whenwe’re seeking the latter. But I think weall actually want a combination of thetwo, and that may be the real unicorn-

- a person who strikes the perfect bal-ance of a reliable, fun person whopays the bills, challenges you, and ex-cites you.

Before you set out on anothersearch for the right person, take astep back and ask yourself:

1) Am I the right person?2) Am I looking for the right person

or hoping the person right now willbe the right person?

3) Am I sure that I don’t emit a foulodor?

4) Am I going out and doing thingsthat make me happy even if I amdoing them alone?

5) Am I doing things that will leadme to that someone?

6) What do I really want right now?Am I making steps toward havingthat or am I taking actions that moveme away from what I want?

The best part is that no matter theanswer, you have all kinds of possibil-ities for your life. If you’re not conspir-ing against yourself, the Universeitself may be conspiring to never letyou cross paths with your “soulmate”--and that’s okay because your life maylook completely different from whatyou thought it would. That doesn’tmean you can’t be happy.

If you don’t like playing games, thenstop playing. More importantly, stopallowing other people who playgames into your life. If you want to getmarried, hire a matchmaker or wait itout. If you want a baby, go haveone,go adopt one, or enjoy the factthat you can be an amazing auntiewithout all the bills and diaperchanges.

One thing is for sure, the more youfocus on what you don’t want, themore you will get of it.

Dear Miss Manors,How can I get rid of these giant

lizards? They’re driving me crazy! If Iwanted Godzilla sized reptiles roam-ing on my deck and swimming in mypool I would have moved to theCongo. And what’s with those bluecrabs walking on land? Was there a

nuclear waste spill here that disruptedthe local eco system?

Signed,Newbie in Town

Dear Newbie,Welcome to waterfront living and,

they’re called Iguanas. They’re actu-ally quite harmless but they poopeverywhere, eat your grass and youcertainly don’t want them aroundyour dogs. My first solution is to get acat. Iguanas stay far away whenthere’s a pet cat lurking in the yard.Ace might be your place. AceHardware in Oakland Park sells a newIguana repellent paint for docks anddecks that guarantees a secret smell inthe spray will keep Iguanas away.Some hardware stores sell a spray in-vented by a Boca Raton entrepreneurcalled “Iguana Rid” that is harmlessbut the label claims that the smell andtaste of the spray keeps the reptilesaway.

There are also several local IguanaLizard Busters in the area that willtrap the lizards and transplant them inmore desirable locales. Who youGonna Call? Iguana Busters! Otherthan these tips, you may have to waittill South Florida gets its next freeze.Oh, and those crabs you see walkingalong the canal wall at night are LandCrabs. They have been here for manydecades and are relatively harmless.They can however grow up to begiant land crabs and have been meas-ured up to 7 inches long. Keep yoursliding glass door closed at night ifyou’re land crab phobia doesn’t dissi-pate.

Thanks, Islanders! If you have unresolved drama, gen-

eral life questions, or nagging need-to-knows about life in WiltonManors/South Florida, don’t hesitateto write in to [email protected]. or message TheIslander Newspaper on Facebook.
