NEW IN TOWN
Veranda Kitchen & Bar — A warm, family-run Thai-and-Vietnamese spot from a husband-and-wife team out of Huế, Vietnam, blending the dishes of their two home kitchens with a full bar and fountain-side outdoor seating at The Walk. It's casual enough for a weeknight but comfortable for date night, and a happy hour is rolling out ($4 drafts/wine, $7 cocktails, half-off apps). The showstopper is the from-scratch phở — broth simmered 10+ hours — with the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and Tom Kha Gai close behind. Now open at 2864 N University Dr (The Walk, former Yellow Yolk space), Coral Springs. Make a reservation on OpenTable
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND

Hot, humid, classic mid-June South Florida. Friday is the pick of the weekend — partly cloudy and the driest day, so plan outdoor stuff then. Storm chances climb Saturday into Sunday with afternoon and evening thunderstorms, so aim morning plans early and keep an eye on the radar by mid-afternoon.
IN DEVELOPMENT….
Six weeks ago we launched a free directory of local businesses we actually love — places we've taken our kids to, hired ourselves, or sent friends to.
This week it crossed 126 listings.
Real coffee shops. Trusted pediatric dentists. The HVAC guy who picks up on a Saturday. Birthday party venues that handle setup AND cleanup. Salons that take walk-ins. The whole Coral Springs + Parkland family ecosystem in one searchable place.
A few favorites our subscribers keep clicking on:
Big Bear Brewing Company — family-owned since 1997, real craft beer for parents + a kid menu that doesn't suck
The Motherhood Village — indoor play + classes + a real café for parents to actually sit and have coffee
Cherry Smash — old-school ice cream parlor that ends any kid's bad day
We Rock the Spectrum — sensory-safe gym where every kid in the class can have fun
