8 LAS OLAS BOULEVARD & ISLESLOA Update continuedAs you get off the Water Taxi at Laura Ward Park, take a walk or bike ride along the Riverwalk for a great way to capture some of the unique beauty of the New River as it winds through downtown toward Huizenga Park, Esplanade Park, MODS and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Or just saunter across the street to Tunnel Top Park to get your bearings before heading off to lunch.Before deciding where to have lunch, start off with a relaxing glass of wine or champagne at Vino%u2019s while you consider the many lunch options Las Olas offers. Burgers. Sandwiches. Italian. Mexican. Asian. Argentinian. And you can preview them ahead of time on your phone. Just visit LasOlasBoulevard.com to help you decide.After lunch, the world is your oyster. You can shop at any (or all!) of the fantastic boutiques on Las Olas such as Quiet Storm, Lilly Pulitzer and more. Have diamonds in your eyes? Visit Carroll%u2019s Jewers, Robinson%u2019s Jewelers or Coomi for some dazzling jewelry selections. The many art galleries on Las Olas will be calling your name to pop in for a cultural experience. New River Fine Art, the new Britto gallery, or the NSU Art Museum are great options, along with many others, all with beautiful fine and pop art.The sun should be setting soon after a full day of eating, exploring, shopping and galivanting around Fort Lauderdale and it will be time for a nice relaxing dinner. I would suggest Caf%u00e9 Europa, Boat House at Riverside, or Rocco%u2019s Tacos and then finishing it all off with something sweet from Kilwin%u2019s or Hoff%u2019s. Or, you could go to any of the fantastic Las Olas bars and cafes for a nightcap. Then, as you head back to wherever you%u2019re going, take a few minutes to appreciate the day you%u2019ve had and the unique beauty that surrounds us every day here in Fort Lauderdale and on Las Olas.A Staycation is easy-breezy in Fort Lauderdale and you can do a little bit of everything on and off of our fabulous Las Olas Boulevard.
