About 'ocean tattoo sleeves'|I have a shattered and bleeding nautical star tattoo i ...








I               recently               returned               to               my               hometown               of               Hollywood,               Florida               and               was               overwhelmed               by               the               amount               of               renovation               being               accomplished.

I               always               refer               to               Hollywood,               Florida               as               "the               other               white               meat"               because               it               continues               to               be               South               Florida's               best               kept               secret.

Let               everyone               migrate               to               Hollywood,               California.

Hollywood,               FLORIDA               has               it               going               on.

The               boardwalk               at               Hollywood               Beach               has               been               completely               refurbished               to               include               quaint               street               lamps               and               manicured               retaining               walls               that               separate               the               sand               from               the               walkway.

There               are               some               big               condominiums               being               built               along               Hollywood               Beach               including               a               development               by               some               guy               with               the               last               name               of               Trump.
               Head               inland               just               a               few               blocks               and               Hollywood's               "Downtown"               district               is               on               the               brink               of               being               remade               into               an               area               that               may               one               day               rival               the               Art               Deco               District               of               Miami's               North               Beach.
               I               couldn't               believe               my               eyes;               this               was               a               city               that               was               pretty               much               left               for               dead               after               being               hammered               by               a               hurricane               or               two               in               the               mid-1970's.

Now               showing               signs               of               being               all               but               re-born               to               tune               of               nearly               150               million               dollars               in               renovation               and               investment.
               A               few               things               haven't               changed               though.

And               that               includes               a               handful               of               restaurants               from               my               carefree               youth.

I               don't               know               if               I               need               to               thank               the               mayor               or               what,               but               I               was               as               hocked               as               I               was               thrilled               to               hunker               down               in               several               eating               establishments               that               I               was               convinced               would               never               survive               out               of               the               1970's,               let               alone               the               1980's,               1990's               and               beyond.
               At               the               top               of               my               list               of               "Restaurants               you               wouldn't               Necessarily               Bring               Your               Mother               To"               is               Tark's               Clam               House               (1317               S               Federal               Hwy,               Dania               FL               33004,               Phone:               954-925-8275).

I               notice               that               now               it               calls               itself               "Tarks               of               Dania".

I               always               knew               it               as               just               "Tarks".

It               was               already               old               when               I               frequented               it               and               that               as               back               in               the               mid-70's.

It               is               so               small               you               can't               really               call               it               a               restaurant.

It               has               a               bar               you               can               sit               down               to.

And               a               few               tables.

And               a               small               parking               lot.

It               also               has               the               mouth               mouth-watering               fried               clams               I               even               laid               eyes               on.
               I               pulled               off               of               South               Federal               Highway               -               which               runs               like               an               artery               all               the               way               from               Boca               Raton               to               North               Miami               and               stepped               inside               Tarks               and               it               was               1977               all               over               again.

The               sweltering               South               Florida               heat               as               checked               in               at               the               door               and               replaced               with               an               ice-cold               beer               and               a               heaping               plate               of               fried               clams.

Tarks               offers               fried               clams,               raw               oysters               and               combination               fish               plates               and               you               can               eat-in               or               take               out.

You               and               a               friend               can               eat               well               for               less               than               20               dollars               and               that               includes               the               beer.

Tarks               is               a               "I've-been-frying-at-the-beach-all-day"               kind               of               place               as               opposed               to               a               high-priced               "impress-your-girlfriend"               kind               of               place.

But               who               knows,               if               your               girlfriend               rides               a               Harley               she'll               probably               feel               right               at               home.

In               my               book,               Tarks               is               THE               place               for               fried               clams               and               is               right               by               the               beach               and               nestled               in               a               small               parking               lot               between               Hollywood               and               Dania.

Check               the               map               and               check               it               out.
               Next               up               is               a               little               hole               in               the               wall               place               called               "Le               Tub"               (1100               N.

Ocean               Dr.,               Hollywood               FL               33019               
               Phone:               954-921-9425).

For               you               culture               lovers               out               there               "Le               Tub"               means               "The               Tub".

And               sure               enough               Le               Tub               is               earmarked               by               an               old               18th               Century               bathtub               mounted               up               on               a               pole.

Le               Tub               sits               rights               on               the               waterway               that               parallels               Hollywood               Beach.

I'm               not               quite               sure               how               to               classify               this               place.

It               reminds               me               of               a               houseboat.

There's               an               upstairs               area               with               a               balcony               that               overlooks               the               waterway               as               does               its               downstairs               lounge.

But               lest               you               think               we're               talking               about               some               rambling               oversized               nightclub,               you're               wrong               on               all               accounts.

Le               Tub               is               small               and               almost               always               packed.
               When               I               was               lot               younger               and               a               lot               less               worldly,               I'm               sure               I               thought               Le               Tub               some               hang               out               for               the               rich               and               famous.

It               really               is               just               a               hangout               for               those               that               enjoy               a               glass               of               wine               and               pleasant               surroundings.

I               recommend               a               tray               of               raw               oysters               and               a               cool               glass               of               Cabernet.

Not               too               long               ago               GQ               Magazine               rated               the               hamburgers               at               Le               Tub               as               the               best               in               South               Florida.

I'm               not               too               sure               of               that               as               I               never               ate               a               hamburger               there.

But               if               you               want               subdued               surroundings,               soft               music               and               great               seafood               then               you               came               to               the               right               place.

Definitely               a               night               spot.

And               just               a               tad               bit               pricey.

I               swear,               Le               Tub               has               the               same               handful               of               palm               trees               at               its               entrance               that               they               did               30               years               ago.

And               they               still               have               the               same               trash               dumpster               sitting               practically               right               outside               their               entrance.

I               would               not               call               Le               Tub               "trendy"               by               any               means.
               On               the               same               side               of               the               street               and               less               than               a               hundred               yards               away               from               Le               Tub               sits               another               historic               eatery:               The               "Flicker-Lite"               (Flicker-Lite,               1014               N.

Ocean               Drive,               Hollywood,               FL               33019,               954-922-4232).

The               Flicker-Lite               still               sits               squeezed               in               between               a               laundry               mat               and               what               used               to               be               a               7-11,               now               turned               into               an               ethnic               grocer.

An               old               neon               sign               hanging               in               its               store-front               window               spells               out               the               name               of               this               dive.

The               Flicker-Lite               used               to               have               the               best               cheese               pizza               in               town.

And               some               of               the               coldest               beer               I               ever               gulped               down.

It               also               has               a               few               pool               tables,               and               if               you               have               a               tattoo               and               two               days               of               stubble               growing               on               your               chin               you'll               feel               right               at               home.

The               Flicker-Lite               will               not               win               any               awards               for               "Best               Appearance"               but               they               must               be               doing               something               right.

You               don't               survive               in               South               Florida               on               looks               alone               and               THIS               place               proves               it.
               Despite               Hollywood's               nearly               150               million               dollars               in               renovation               and               investment               that               I               spoke               about               in               the               second               paragraph;               Tarks,               Le               Tub               and               the               Flicker-Lite               seem               to               have               been               neglected               or               forgotten               about,               or               maybe               Hollywood's               city               planners               were               just               too               scared               to               go               inside.

Come               to               think               about               it,               I'M               not               entirely               sure               why               I               decided               to               go               inside               any               of               these               places               either.

The               lure               of               cold               beer               and               fried               clams               (but               probably               the               cold               beer)               was               just               too               strong).
               Certainly               Hollywood,               Florida               offers               more               upscale               fare               when               it               comes               to               dining               out,               An               honourable               mention               goes               to               the               Transylvania               Restaurant,               (113               S.

               But               if               you               want               to               roll               your               sleeves               up               and               talk               to               the               locals               about               how               much               cement               you               poured               the               other               day               or               the               size               of               that               catfish               that               you               just               can't               seem               to               reel               in,               then               check               out               Tarks,               Le               Tub               and               the               Flicker-Lite.

Three               of               the               best               places               to               site               and               eat               that               Hollywood,               Florida               have               to               offer.
