 Fort Lauderdale
contains two main areas of interest. Downtown focuses on a few blocks
between East Broward and East Las Olas boulevards, which cross US-1 a
couple of miles east of I-95. Heavily prettified with parks and
promenades, it's a pleasant place for a stroll, especially if you follow
the half-mile pedestrian Riverwalk along the north shore of the New
River. Las Olas Boulevard, the main shopping district, remains busy day
and night, with many boutiques, galleries, restaurants, bars and
sidewalk cafés.
Cross the arching Intracoastal Waterway
bridge, about two miles along Las Olas Boulevard from downtown and
beach-side Fort Lauderdale begins. Along the seafront, Fort Lauderdale
Beach Boulevard once bore the brunt of Spring Break partying, but only a
few beachfront bars suggest the carousing of the past, and the
attractive new promenade draws an altogether healthier crowd of joggers,
in-line skaters and cyclists.
