Very few things surprise me. Every once in a while someone does something so egregious that it is shocking, but more often than not, things are just funny (like the woman who wore three not-s0-strategically placed drug store bows to Fantasy Fest). That was it. Three bows and some thigh […]

Imagine my delight when I read a new pizza joint opened in town. Imagine my further delight to realize that it is open until 4AM. Actually, I don’t really care about that, I much prefer to be sleeping at 4AM than eating pizza. Enter Bobalu’s, which was recently opened by […]
My Spanish sucks. It is more than a little embarrassing for someone who has spent as long as I have in South Florida. However, when I couldn’t pronounce the name of an absurdly good Mexican restaurant recently, I learned the name is actually Mayan, and my Mayan is significantly worse […]
There are very few restaurants here that conjure up the image of fine dining, professional service and great food all at once. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of good places here – those with great food, wonderful atmosphere and more, but the Marquesa is special. We went to […]

People in Key West have a love-hate relationship with cruise ships. Those that love the mega-liners coming in for the day generally own a shop on Duval Street or a restaurant close by. Those that hate it are the people that like to walk down the street without encountering an […]
Last month, I wrote about Key Lime Pie from both Blond Giraffe and Kermit‘s. As you may recall, I am in the Kermit’s-is-clearly-better camp. Read the original post, and what others had to say about it here. I did leave off one very popular place in that review, the Key […]
