Hollywood, Florida

Decided to fly in and out of Ft. Lauderdale and am overnighting it here for my very early morning flight. Staying in an airport hotel, Hampton Inn, and had a very pleasant meal at Antonio's. They claim to be a true Italian pizzeria and seemed authentic enough to me. Great garlic rolls, the pizza was a very think and crispy crust. I'm not usually a fan of thin crust pizza but I would eat here again. On the way back to the hotel, I came across Jackson's Ice Cream Parlor, http://www.jaxsonsicecream.com. Very yummy and a great way to end my dinner. If you've ever visited a Cracker Barrel, Jackson's has a similar theme. Instead of a country store, it has a feel of a carnival with the popcorn machine and toys you would find at a fair. They serve your typical hamburger and hot dogs but the ice cream is a draw. Freshly made, the ice cream was very tasty.
