Fort Lauderdale - early September - Advice needed
 

Any advice on what to do, where to go, what to see in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in early September? On a relatively small budget. Will spend money for good restaurants etc. Wife will stay on beach most of the time.

I am considering short road trips - Everglades for sure, possibly the Keys.

Any good bars, restaurants, clubs things to do appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Eat breakfast on the Anglin Pier at the end of Commercial Blvd. Get there at 7:00 AM or expect long lines. Breakfast is cheap and good eating.

Drive up to Lighthouse Point and take the short ferry to Cap's Place for dinner. The food is to die for, I assure you.

For cheap lodging on the beach, you can't beat Howard Johnson on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. It's right across the street from the beach and usually is less than $60.00 a nite and the rooms are clean. Nice pool, also.

Check out the Riverwalk, downtown off of Las Olas. I go to Ft. Lauderdale at least once a month and I used to live over there, so if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. :cool:

Priceline is great for getting low priced hotels. I recently stayed at a 4-star hotel in New Orleans for $50 a night.

Here is a link to a list of hotels in Ft. Lauderdale offered by priceline and what people are bidding on them.

Another thing to remember is that September is pretty much the peak month for hurricanes. Things have been a little busy in Florida, so far. Buy trip insurance.

Thanks for all the ideas. We already have a hotel - package flight deal. I will have to check out some of the places.
