Three recent stories about life in and around Pembroke Pines covered several topics — new flights out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, a Mediterranean restaurant coming to town and the winners of a major culinary showcase.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Story 1: Breeze adds more flight options out of FLL, including 3 in Florida. Here’s where
Breeze Airways is expanding its service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport this summer, adding new nonstop routes to Tallahassee, Jacksonville and Tampa with low starting fares. The airline is also boosting flights to Pensacola and several out-of-state destinations, aiming to make it easier and cheaper for travelers to reach cities across the Southeast and beyond.
Story 2: Popular Mediterranean restaurant coming to Pembroke Pines. Here’s what we know
Fast-casual Mediterranean chain CAVA is planning a new Pembroke Pines location on Pines Boulevard, taking over the former Pei Wei Asian Kitchen space. The build-your-own bowl and pita spot, which already has dozens of Florida restaurants, hasn’t shared an opening date yet, but paperwork with state regulators suggests it’s on the way.
Story 3: Taste of Pines ‘People’s Choice’ winners are in. Did your top pick make the cut?
The city’s Taste of Pines culinary fair drew more than 60 vendors and a sold-out crowd, who voted on their favorite food, drinks, desserts and new businesses in town. Winners included Legends Hospitality for “Best Taste & Food,” Rickey’s Sports Bar & Grill for “Best Drink,” Vaniglia & Cioccolato for :Best Dessert” and Keik Bakeshop as the “New Kid on the Block.”
