    Beach: I don't really do beaches...
    Bar: Eh, don't really do bars either
    Pizza: Doughboys is da bomb (I had to go there lol). Best pizza I think I've ever had though, at Via Naploi in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot (I'm drooling on my keyboard thinking about it!)
    Asian: Hmm.... FI isn't all that adventurous, so just for entertainment's sake I'd go with Benihana (plus their Benitini is a darned good drink) I'd really like to find a good sushi place somewhere in Sunrise/Plantation/Coral Springs, any recs? (Totally been craving lately & I'm just not sure about anywhere around me)
    Indian: I have never had proper Indian food...
    Range of food: Probably Beverly Hills Cafe off of Nob Hill and Cleary
    Breakfast: Original Pancake House. We go out of our way to go to the one off Broward and Pine Island. 2 words. Dutch baby. (more drooling now)
    Park: Hmmm.... I'm not actually from SoFla, so I haven't been to a lot of parks, FI would have a better idea on that (he's Plantation born and raised)
    Shopping: Even though it's a ridiculout drive for me, probably Boca Town Center, just because Sawgrass has become such a PITA with all the tourist buses they bring in... but I don't really like shopping all that much either (I'm a bad girl. And kinda boring I'm realizing... oh well, so is FI. lol)
    Museum: I love, love, love the variety in the Norton Museum of Art and the exhibits the Ft. Lauderdale Art Musuem always has going on- but sheer fun factor goes to the Ft. Lauderdale Science Musuem.
    Icecream: Ooooo.... I don't know. Probably Coldstone though
    Burger joint: Hands down for me, Elevation Burger in Coral Springs- so so so good veggie AND beef burgers, & their milkshakes are the shizznit (keeping in clean), but FI is gaga over Five Guys

    My FSIL is from England, so they're very particular about their Indian food - she introduced us to Taj. FI and I eat there every few weeks and it never disappoints! Let me know how you like it! =)
