We stumbled on The Mango Bistro quite by accident and it was a lucky find. On Dearborn Street in Englewood, it is at the gateway to the little downtown area.
When we found it, we had been in search of a farmer's market which apparently ended in May. The reviews we saw in TripAdvisor enticed...
We have visited golf course restaurants during our travels with varying results. Some have been good, some not so good. Recently we heard about a new place called The Sandhill Grill and decided to try it.
Nestled off County Road 17 between Avon Park and Sebring in Highlands County, the place has served as an eatery...
We had a great opportunity to visit Venice, Florida recently, and while we were there we had five must-dine experiences. Since this was our initial foray into the area, these were are first experiences. We didn't have a bad one in the lot.

Although our trip was to Venice, we found the...
It has been there on South Orange Avenue in Sarasota for the past seven years - but this was our first time dining at Fresh Start. I must tell you it's a hidden gem.
We love Sarasota and generally go for the Saturday farmer's market. But there's also the Museum of Whimsey, The Ringling Museum,...
We have visited Melbourne twice. The first time was on a whim when we decided the Space Coast was calling our name. On that foray, we discovered Eau Gallie - much to our delight.
The second time, we went to attend an Easter Sunrise service at Hightower Beach. We found the perfect one put on...
Although "The Best Breakfast" has been an elusive title, we have managed to come up with a list of our five best breakfasts in Florida - so far. By no means is this all of them - and we travel continually, so we are always discovering new and interesting places.
That being said, we have...
Most Polk County residents know Bartow as the county seat. Some travelers may think that Bartow is the section of town where Florida Highway 60 and US 98 come together. However, just off that main thoroughfare is a quaint little section of town that is rife with interesting little shops and delicious eateries.

It's been months in the making. Now, like a butterfly, Seven-The Sebring Raceway Hotel has emerged just in time for Race Week. The place was painted Sebring Blue earlier this year. The entrance sign now beckons visitors.
The hotel was christened just in time for the beginning of Race Month at the world famous...
We have been in Frostproof before and when we heard there was a Valentine's street dance going on, it called for a return visit. This tiny hamlet in Polk County is known as "The Friendly City and it's easy to see why.
When we arrived, the sun had set. Wall Street was blocked off...
As we turn our eyes to the advent of St. Patrick's' Day, Irish cuisine is on the horizon. On a recent trip to Melbourne we spotted Meg O'Malley's Restaurant & Irish Pub - it may well have been the highlight of our downtown experience.
The place is packed with atmosphere
This was a great...
