This week the Fort Lauderdale area boasts a variety of fun activities for anyone looking for a unique "foodie" experience! Get your taste buds cheering with these fun food-centric events for adults and children alike.

Schakolad Chocolate Factory (7740 Nova Drive, Davie) is offering "One-Day Summer Activities" for kids that are the perfect combination of education, interaction, and of course, eating chocolate! The chocolatiers at Schakolad will take kids aged 6-15 on a 45-minute journey through the history and production of chocolate, culminating with their own private tasting. Then they will get hands-on by dipping and decorating flavored cake pops, and designing their own custom chocolate business cards. They'll get to take it all home in a self-made goodie bag. Class Size is limited and the cost is just $9.50 per child, so call Shakolad and get in there before the summer is over!

On August 20, enjoy an "Evening under the Moon" overlooking beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach. As part of a series of monthly events at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort's restaurant ocean2000 (2000 N. Ocean Blvd), you can enjoy a special dining experience to celebrate this month’s full moon. The resort's sweeping veranda is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, where you can enjoy upscale culinary selections from a prix-fixe menu while you revel in the unobstructed views of the sparkling ocean and take advantage of the conveniently placed telescopes positioned for prime full moon viewing. Bea Kobran, "Astrologer and Spiritual Healer", will be on hand to visit your table and provide intuitive readings.

For more casual fare, on August 22 the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Property Owners’ Association is sponsoring their "Old Fashioned Fish Fry" from 6-9pm at Anglin’s Beach Café (2 Commercial Blvd). For just $12 per person, guests can enjoy this timeless tradition with a delicious fish dinner on the Commercial Blvd pier, along with plenty of drinks, dessert, music and dancing. Just be sure to RSVP!
