Today I want to discuss the beauty of walking and the fact that I love having Las Olas Boulevard to walk to!

I moved to Fort Lauderdale from Manhattan and one of the only things I miss is the walking. You see in New York I didn't owe a car. If I wanted to go anywhere I would have to take a cab, a subway, a bus, or, as I did most of the time, just plain walk. Walking was an everyday part of my life.

Florida, like most places, is all about driving. Thankfully I live near Downtown Fort Lauderdale. I love that I can WALK to places and NOT have to drive everyplace I go! Living and working near Downtown Fort Lauderdale is great! I can walk to the Riverfront, Himmarshee and Las Olas Blvd, meet friends, grab a bite to eat or just window shop. Both Himmarshee and Las Olas have many delicious and fun restaurants to go to. For the shoppers out there, the place to go is Las Olas where there are many boutiques and art dealers to choose from.

I love that I can walk to it all. That IS the beauty of living in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. I never have to worry about driving home if I don't want to. Not that I have a drinking problem but the thought of having one cocktail and getting behind the wheel frightens me. Driving 'under the influence' is NOT on my to do list. Instead of taking any chances, I can walk home, hail a cab or take a water taxi! There is a lot going on Downtown. There is a lot of fun places to go to. It has a vibe all it's own and I love being near it!

Fabulous buildings walking distance to Las Olas Blvd are:

350 Las Olas Place

Las Olas Grand

Las Olas Riverhouse

NuRiver Landing

Symphony

Watergarden

Waverly

Venezia

PS: Two of my MANY favorite new places on Las Olas are Yolo and Mancini's restaurants. Go check them out! ORif going to Himmarshee, go check out Himmarshee Restaurant....delicious!
