The Riverwalk renovations just south of the Performing Arts Center are now done, so you can once again ride your bike - or walk - from The Symphony condos to the old Hyde Park Market (aka Swick Plaza).
The Village Pie on 2nd Street is still coming soon. The parking lot attendant said that they're just waiting for the patio permit. (You don't want to let just anyone have a patio.)
A group of young people who meet at nearby Brew bring food on certain nights and distribute it to homeless people. (Actually, I learned this at a party Saturday night.)
The gondolier who this past summer moved his motorized gondola from the now-defunct Stork's on Las Olas to the New River (between Huizenga Plaza and the River House condos) is from Nice, France.
The grassy lot where Las Olas's most popular establishments used to be - Cafe Europa and O'Hara's - looks woefully empty again now that the Christmas tree is gone.
Noodles & Panini still has the banner announcing that their meatballs were voted the best in South Florida, though the restaurant refuses to change its name to Meatballs & Meatballs.
SoLita (South of Little Italy) has opened in the space that was Mark's Las Olas. An employee heading into work raved to me about the meatballs.
We have gone from a city awash in Italian restaurants to a city awash in meatballs.
