Although we have passed Mo’s tiny storefront location on White Street many times over the years, we have just tried it this week. Our first visit will not be our last, certainly. As we entered the eight table (plus a few bar stools) restaurant, initial impressions remind me of 1976. The […]
If you have ever been on a cruise ship, and strolled through an art auction, you have seen Peter Max’s work. Frankly, if you have seen any art in the past half century, chances are you have seen his work. From United States flags to the Statue of Liberty, the […]
We have been to Banana Cafe exactly once before. We’ve ordered lunch delivery a few times, but have never been there for dinner. Everything that we have had, with the exception of the cheese crepe on our first visit, has been very good, so we decided to give it a […]
Another year, another Key West Food and Wine Festival in the books. Last week, despite threats of rain, the festival was a huge success. This year, there were plenty of new events, including whiskey tastings and seminars, a cheese seminar and a burlesque show. It made for an exhausting, but […]
Between the sunset celebration at Mallory Square, and an acceptable dinner time lies a gap of about 2 hours in the winter (in the summer, it is feasible to go see the sunset, then head straight to dinner). But these days sunset is around 6PM, and our preferred dinner time is somewhere […]

I will admit it. This was a bit of a Chopped moment. I had bought some fresh fish, but was relying on ingredients already in the house to come up with the rest of the meal. We had a lot of dairy products, half a package of mushrooms and some […]
We spent a whirlwind weekend celebrating the Bar Mitzvah of a friend’s son in suburban Washington, visiting friends, hanging out with family and generally having a good time. Monday morning, FKGuy headed home while I boarded a train for 24 hours in New York. After a balmy 60 degrees, and […]
I’d been to Tavern N’ Town exactly once, for Mother’s Day brunch over five years ago. It was good then, but we had never made it back, largely because we have to drive to get there. On the other hand, I am always delighted when we make plans with friends […]
It was a brisk morning. After a quick breakfast at Inn on the Beach, we were off to check out Fort De Soto park. This 1,100 acre park is an expanse of beaches, fishing piers, hiking trails and bike paths, made up of five interconnected islands. It was the bike […]
