Housed in the former location of the Keys Piano Bar (good riddance, I say), is now Sweet Tea’s. They did not do much to the interior, which works, as the decor was good already. They even left the raised platform that formerly housed the piano (now it houses a few tables). The […]

Florida Keys Girl is moving… no, not virtually. The blog will still be in the same place, and on the same Monday-Wednesday-Friday posting schedule, back with all new material next week. However, since I am actually moving (you know, furniture, dishes, clothes, margarita glasses, wine cooler – full, of course), […]
Imagine yourself on a hot and humid day, just aching to swim in a nice, cool pool. Sure, you could go to the beach, but then you would get all sandy and need to pack a picnic lunch to bring along. It requires a little forward thinking, or at least a trip […]
An “ultra marathon” is generally described as any race longer than the traditional, or “normal” marathon distance of 26.2 miles. I have decided that I will do the New York Marathon in 2012. I gave up my spot in 2011 due to knee surgery and then not having enough time […]
I have indulged in to-go goodies from Croissants De France in the past – a to die for Nutella beignet or a good cappuccino – but have never eaten there until last week. Although it was very hot outside, the garden was shaded, fanned and comfortable. The menu is filled […]

I was excited to try Rocco’s Tacos on Las Olas Boulevard when my cousin was in town earlier in the week. We went for lunch, and I was working that day, so I can’t comment firsthand on the margaritas. We did find it funny, however, that “Taco Tuesday” advertisements mentioned […]
Key West is a funny town. You can drink until the wee hours of the morning, but try to get a good meal late at night and you are pretty much out of luck. Let me clarify: by “decent meal” I mean one that is served (not a walk-up counter […]
I admit it: anything with “Short Attention Span” in the title is going to catch my attention. When it applies to theater it seemed to be a no-brainer. After all, if one play sucks, it only lasts a few minutes and then we are on to the next one. Last […]
I want t take a moment and wish a Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, my mother-in-law and everyone else who is a mother today. I will even refrain from my usual Hallmark-holiday rant about why we need to buy cards and flowers today only and how bad restaurant service […]
