La Trattoria is an Italian restaurant located right on Duval Street. Their bar, Virgilio’s has live music and a lovely outdoor garden. LAst summer they opened another location near the airport. This is the former Martha’s location, and has beautiful water views. Of course we went after dark, so not so many views. Continue reading La Trattoria, Oceanside

I was recently approached by the folks at Cheapflights.com to answer a few questions about the Florida Keys and Key West for their Insider’s Guide to the Keys. Naturally, since I can’t shut up about how great Key West, and all of the Keys are, I answered. At length. Great restaurants? Check. Fun things to do . . . → Read More: Florida Keys Girl’s Insider’s Guide to the Keys  More butt imprints... and dog hair I like to keep things for a long time. Sometimes long after it would be appropriate to replace. We have a giant, 300 pound dinosaur of a television. It is ten years old and it works fine, so other than newer models being sleeker and taking up less space, I see no point in replacing it until it dies (which FKGuy hopes is soon). My sofabed, on the other hand, has been dying for quite a long time. Continue reading Goodbye, Old Friend
 FKGuy enjoying a relaxing brunch  The cupcakes... they looked basically the same as I indulged in one for breakfast the next day.  More tortellini on one plate than is socially acceptable (yet still quite tasty). I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has a bad day sometimes. Restaurants have off nights - although, according to my friend Steve, if a restaurant is having an off night, why should the customer pay the same amount for a lesser quality? Steve has a point, but again, we all have our moments. Continue reading I Take It Back  Babka, relaxing before going out for dinner with us (she has already had dinner) Key West is a dog friendly kind of town. People are always out and about walking their dogs, taking them to the enormous dog park at Higg’s Beach or the dog beach. Yes, that is correct. Canines have their own beach in Key West. No, they do not get their own concession stand selling ice cream. (That gives me an idea…) Continue reading Dog Friendly, Key West I really hate going to Camille’s for brunch. The food is fine, but the wait is usually absurd and the service in the morning stinks. They just need more staff on Sunday mornings. The other thing about Camille’s is the decor. It is a little diner-ish, somewhat dirty feeling (that may have just been the crumbs on my seat) and it badly needs a makeover. Despite these issues, we went there for dinner this past weekend. (Look for photos next week.) Continue reading Camille’s, Key West |

Key West Story is the newest book from author Rick Skwiot, and the latest book I have forced upon my book club. I’m glad I did. The book is a great read. Our main character, Con, finds himself in a bit of a bind and needs to make some interesting choices.
