	LAS OLAS VILLAGE

	Las Olas Village Las Olas Village is the area where we locals go for our everyday shopping, services and dining. It's also the creative hub of the area. It's where we go for breakfast or for sushi or for coffee or for dinner. It's where we go to buy toothpaste, newspapers, books, a pair of scissors, a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread ... in other words, our day-to-day purchases. Las Olas Village is where we go to have our clothes dry cleaned, to get prescriptions filled, to have keys cut, to mail a package, to have a manicure, to visit an ATM ... in other words, our day-to-day services. Like any other village, it's where we go to our weekly market to stock up on organic produce, flowers, baked goods, herbs, spices, sauces ... and to chat with our friends while listening to live jazz and enjoy a relaxed, sunny Sunday. It's also where we go to pick up bargains and one-of-a-kind items - a vintage purse, a second-hand book, a bag made from recycled materials, consignment goods, a bargain antique ... Las Olas Village is where many of us work. In our neighborhood we have artists, designers, writers, photographers ... and experts in a wide variety of subjects from antiques to music, to fashion, to art. As you can imagine, because of this variety of creatives, we have several venues where we hold parties, exhibitions and events. The village is multi-cultural too - we have people from France, Greece, Italy, England, Belgium, India, China and many other parts of the world. All have brought elements of their own culture to this fascinating area. Some of the oldest businesses in the area are in Las Olas Village. We also have some of most interesting architecture. But we're also completely up to date. Our diner, which first opened its doors in the 1930s offers free wifi. In the door of one of our antique shops you'll see a QR code. One restaurant offers a free drink if you check in using Foursquare on your phone ; another advertises some great specials on Yelp - another iPhone app. Our village has a marvelous mix of traditional and bang up-to-date. We have the best of both words - modern Italian design sits quite happily alongside nineteenth century antiques. Contrast the modern interior of our deli with the traditional mural in our Italian bakery. Why, we even have our own traditional village green which, naturally, sits alongside the newest building in the village. Come to see us and explore the Las Olas Village - one of our area's best kept secrets.

Las Olas has always been Fort Lauderdale’s most charming thoroughfare.
Las Olas is at the forefront of everything from fashion boutiques and art galleries,
to memorable restaurants, sidewalk cafes and bars.

Running almost parallel to Fort Lauderdale’s New River on its way to the Atlantic Ocean,
Las Olas is a broad avenue divided by a wide landscaped median of flowers and towering shade trees.
Over the canal at the east end of the tree lined median, in the Colee Hammock neighborhood,
are more shops, restaurants, and stores too unique to describe … all worth exploring!
The Las Olas location is within walking distance of the beach, where Las Olas Boulevard meets the ocean.

A few minutes from most hotels and easily accessible by water taxi or land taxi,
Las Olas is a lively, pulsating, world class boulevard. Night or day, Las Olas is the place to be.
