Main Street was the place to be back in my high school days.
Now, way past those days, it's still a decent place to be. There are plenty of restaurants, both old and new, in the area. You have old favorites such as Italy Today and Thai Café, as well as new places showing up such as 100 Montaditos and Salsa Fiesta. Please note, too, that aside from these, across the street, which does consist of this same area, you will find places such as Miller's Ale House and On the Border. Nearby, there's also a Pei Wei. Be aware that the Buca di Beppo is no more though, but if you want to eat there, I do believe there are still chains open with one in Davie.
Anyway, aside from dining establishments, you have a few entertainment options. I believe there is a live theater nearby, as well as the tried and true movie theater Cobb. On weekends, this theater gets packed though and there are a lot of teenagers. I think they instilled a curfew, but I am not sure how effective it is as I don't frequent the place. Just something to keep in mind. Oh, and the main fountain is still there, too, looking just as beautiful in the center of the street.
Parking is free, yay, and there are a variety of clothes stores. I am surprised some of these stores have held though as most people don't go to Main Street with the intention of shopping, but eh, I suppose somehow they make do. If in the area, I definitely recommend giving Main Street a try. You are bound to enjoy yourself here. If you are looking for a mega-shopping experience though, you may want to check elsewhere. Truly four stars. read more
