Naples, Florida
Pamper your puppy when he accompanies you on your next golf vacation. The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples offers guests and their dogs petiquette classes and turndown amenities that leave nothing for furry companions to sniff their long canine snouts about. Obedience courses, maps with Fido-friendly parks, and doggie treats that come personalized with your pooch’s name keep you out of the doghouse. From $290 per night; $150 nonrefundable pet deposit includes the petiquette class. 2600 Tiburon Drive, (239) 593-2000, www.ritzcarlton.com


Golf-2
Miami, Florida
When you’re in South Beach, head to Barton G. the Restaurant’s Below Zero Nitro-Bar, where mixologist Richard Blais, a practitioner of molecular gastronomy, turns bartending into an act of alchemy. Imagine martinis topped with a thin crust of alcohol, calling to mind the way crème brûlée is topped with caramelized sugar. Consider a Manhattan on the rocks in which the ice is the bourbon. Or perhaps you’d prefer a smoking Cosmo? 1427 West Avenue, (305) 672-8881, www.bartong.com

Hooray for Hollywood (Florida) - 9-1-2009 »

IT’S JUST BEFORE midnight in downtown Hollywood -- Hollywood, Florida -- and the belly dancers are doing crazy things with their hips for the sidewalk diners outside Taverna Yiamas. Down Hollywood Boulevard, girls in way-too-short, way-too-low hot pants are cozying up to a group of Russian immigrants in front of Spice Resto-Lounge. Next door, outside PRL Euro Cafe, the Rasta crowd is sipping Polish beer and eating slices of takeout pizza from Mauro’s Pizza. I’m headed to the more sedate confines of the Sushi Blues Cafe to hear Bluesman Dave & Bonga La Roc Jr. while noshing on some Japanese drinking snacks called otsumami. Frankly, I had not anticipated such a wild scene here.
