Things To Do
Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant
We went to the Padrino's in Plantation on our first date.
El Camino Boca Raton
Where we went on our second date and one of our favorite restaurants.
Gumbo Limbo Nature Center
We visited here on a Sunday and got caught in a rainstorm while walking along the boardwalk, which is how I ended up being drenched the first time I met Josh's family.
Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza
The best pizza in South Florida. When we first started dating, we made a point to never go to the same restaurant twice, but we broke our rule for Mister O1.
Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier
Local beach with many restaurants nearby and where we took our first picture.
Charm City Burger Company
One of our local favorites... soon relocating to Boca.
Mizner Park
A Boca Raton staple. Outdoor shopping with plenty of restaurant options. We recommend Sloan's, Kapow, Subculture Coffee, and American Social.
Laspada's Original Hoagies - Boca Raton
A South Florida staple. Elise's go-to: Italian with all the toppings. Josh's favorite: Monster Stoner Style with Zapp's Voodoo chips.
Cecilie's Gourmet Italian Ices
The official halfway point between our places. A bit of a drive, but well worth it. Anyone who knew Josh in college, knew his love of Cecilie's. (Note from Josh: The Tangerine Italian ice is "life-changing"... Cherry Bordeaux is pretty good too.)
Silverball Retro Arcade
We went here to celebrate two months of dating. There are lots of restaurant options nearby. We recommended Hawker's Asian Street Food and El Camino.
Drift
Where we went the night we got engaged. Order our favorite dish: grilled octopus.
Mane Coffee
A local coffee shop owned by one of Josh's friends and selected as best coffee shop in Florida by Food and Wine magazine.
