Frommer's South Florida


Book Description

Author Lesley Abravanel lives and works in Miami as a gossip columnist for the Miami Herald, so she knows the Florida scene, what's hot and what's not, which restaurants the celebs frequent and sometimes own (and which establishments you might avoid for that very reason). Lesley covers Florida's highlights from a resident's perspective: the South Beach club scene, the best restaurants, hotels at every price point, dive sites in the Keys, baseball spring training, theme parks, the Everglades, the Gold Coast, the Treasure Coast, world-class golf courses, and beaches, water sports, and lots of beach bars. Miami plays host to several major festivals each year, including Art Basel Miami Beach, the Miami International Boat Show, and the Miami Book Fair International. Ten new hotels opened in 2009, with five more slated for completion in 2010. Includes a full-color foldout map.




Best. State. Ever.


Book Description

A New York Times bestseller—a brilliantly funny exploration of the Sunshine State from the man who knows it best: Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry. We never know what will happen next in Florida. We know only that, any minute now, something will. Every few months, Dave Barry gets a call from some media person wanting to know, “What the hell is wrong with Florida?” Somehow, the state's acquired an image as a subtropical festival of stupid, and as a loyal Floridian, Dave begs to differ. Join him as he goes in hunt of the legendary Skunk Ape; hobnobs with the mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs; and visits Cassadaga, the psychic capital of the world, to have his dog's aura read (apparently, she's "very spiritual"). Hitch a ride for the non-stop thrills of alligator-wrestling ("the gators display the same fighting spirit as a Barcalounger"), the hair-raising spectacle of a clothing-optional bar in Key West, and the manly manliness of the Machine Gun Experience in Miami. It's the most hilarious book yet from “the funniest damn writer in the whole country” (Carl Hiaasen, and he should know). By the end, you'll have to admit that whatever else you might think about Florida—you can never say it's boring.
