We discovered Martin's Country Market as we were cruising on State Road 17 down to Arcadia. My wife was doing an internet search for a lunch location and found their listing.
"Hey, this place looks interesting," she said. And with that we were off. We entered of the address into our GPS system and headed there....
We were looking for fun things to do in Vero Beach on our last trip there. In our past visits we'd seen McKee Botanical Gardens but never had visited. This time we vowed to give it a try.
At 18 acres, it's a lot smaller than we had anticipated. Apparently, it originally had been much...
On our most recent visit, we found that Cafe 66 is a wonderful option for breakfast in Vero Beach. As always, we turned to the experts and asked our friends at Vero Beach Foodie for a recommendation.
I have to tell you, the responses came quickly. We reviewed them, did a little online review and...
Over our last few visits, we have found there are lots of things to do in Vero Beach. So, recently we decided to return. After no small amount of research, we decided again to stay at the Prestige Hotel. Although their ocean view rooms were a bit past our pricepoint, we were able to get a room...
We have visited the Town of Murals more than once and one of the best restaurants in Lake Placid has to be Morty & Edna's Craft Kitchen. The Main Street complex in which they're located at one time played host to the local newspaper.
The Lake Placid Journal is gone and a shopping and...
So we discovered the Amazing Grace tea house in Wauchula and it truly is a hidden gem. Actually,we were headed through Hardee County and my wife's eagle eye spotted their listing. When we got there, it appeared we had come in after the lunch rush. That meant there was plenty of of seating options and we...
When it comes to soft serve ice cream, Surf's Up Ice Cream Shack in Haines City might be one of the best kept secrets in central Florida. It's a great location for soft serve and other chilled treats. Plus it's a destination point for fun (especially if you have kids).
Again, we were tipped to...
We were delighted to see that Governor Ron DeSantis and Visit Florida have teamed up to encourage the idea of a staycation. This is what we have advocated since starting this blog.
Staycation does not mean actually to stay at home - it does mean, enjoy the Sunshine State.
It's our...
So, we are always looking for new and innovative places to eat. The Pantry in Auburndale is new, innovative and already may well be one of the best restaurants in Polk County.
We first heard about this place on the Polk County Restaurants & Reviews Facebook page. Fortunately, we already were headed in that general...
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...
