If you're like me and wake up dreaming about sweets, this novelty candy store in Wilton Manors is a must visit. They have a huge selection of international candies that will transport you back to your childhood. Try different marzipans, sweet and salty licorice, sugar free choices and my favorite...chocolate covered gummy bears (which come in milk and dark chocolate). Enjoy!

Sightseeing
Fort Lauderdale Jetties is an excellent spot if you like going to the beach, but you don’t care to don a swimsuit and you’d rather enjoy the view in peace than being surrounded by screaming beachgoers. The small, out-of-the-way beach is very popular with those looking to watch the city’s incoming and departing ships.
As the Fort Lauderdale Jetties is located near Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, you can find parking at the latter and make your way to the former on foot. There's metered street parking further inland, too.

Escargot Bistro is classic French cuisine and quite a gem. They serve several varieties of escargot dishes which are all deliciously unique. The lamb shank in burgundy sauce is excellent and so is the duck. Savory crepes are always a good option, especially when followed by sweet one, or decadent chocolate cake, ice cream, and espresso.
