The two men behind Goldberg's Delicatessen and Bagels are so confident about their new Fort Lauderdale Jewish eatery, they didn't even flinch when they realized their location might be cursed. The bright, 4,800-square-foot space at 2701 E. Oakland Park Blvd. — where Goldberg's debuted last weekend to strong crowds — is the same storefront where four restaurants have flopped in nine years: Santa Lucia Ristorante (2014-2016), Ruggero's Ristorante (2016-2017), Elliot Wolf's Brown Dog Eatery (2018-2020), Kraft Bistro & Deli (2021-2022).
