While checking restaurants in Clermont we came upon the Crooked Spoon. We found it at the intersection of Citrus Tower Boulevard and US Highway 27 in the shadow of the famous Citrus Tower. Actually defined as a "Gastropub," this place is a wonderful dining experience.
A Gastropub
I actually had to look up "gastropub." Apparently it is...
We may have found one of the best Florida tourist attractions just south of Clermont. Oh yes, we had seen the Showcase of Citrus countless times as we have driven on Highway 27. But we stopped in recently and realized how much we had been missing.
This place is a look at the real Florida and...
We were cruising up Highway 27 through Haines City looking for brunch. There, we came upon The Egg City Diner. Little did we know that in addition to a great meal, we'd get thrown back in time.
We pulled into the parking lot to a single story building. It was before lunch so there weren't...
Whether or not you have a gun - or are a shooter - the Center Mass Gun Range in Okeechobee may be the best shooting range in Florida. And we recommend it for young and old alike.
Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky. This place may not be...
We have written in the past about the Wild Turkey Tavern in Avon Park. Recently we learned that they are serving breakfast. They're only available on the weekend, which fit our schedule. So, we decided to drop by and give it a shot.
Our Breakfast
The restaurant only recently added the breakfast option. They start at...
So we heard about ice cream at the Milking R Dairy in Okeechobee. They not only have a varied selection of flavors, they have a wonderful layout. It can be a great experience for young and old alike. Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky. Besides, July is Ice Cream Month, so we...
When it comes to the best Greek food in Florida - you would have to go a bit to top the Krazy Greek. Our first review of the Krazy Greek (now in Winter Haven) was back in 2018. We loved it then and we love it now.
Since that time we have visited a lot...
When it comes to a true ice cream experience in Central Florida, our choice is Frostbite Ice Cream in the little hamlet of Frostproof. It's nestled along Highway 27A on the edge of town.
The first thing we noticed was in addition to the dine-in the place also does a great drive-thru business.

When it comes to Florida hotels with a view, we have come across six that have provided wonderful stays for us.
The Prestige Hotel
The first would be our latest visit. The Prestige Hotel at Vero Beach had a wonderful view of the grounds, to the beach and all the way to the Atlantic. From our balcony we could see the...
We have seen the Visit Central Florida posts on our Facebook feed for years. Recently we had a chance to visit the actual Visit Central Florida Visitor's Center itself. We discovered the rustic brown visitor information center just off Highway 27 in Davenport.
Located half way between Tampa and Orlando off I-4, it's a handy...
