What started off as an idea to have a fun day at the beach has turned into an all-out music extravaganza. The folks behind Swankey, who are best known for putting on amazing weddings and other parties, are bringing a summer music-fest to town this weekend. If you are […]
They’re trendy, they’re cheap and there is something for (almost) everyone. What am I talking about? Food trucks. There is something really appealing about eating food out of a truck while standing at a little table with strangers. I went to the Hard Rock Casino last night with some […]
After almost two years of writing this blog I have reviewed 57 restaurants in the Florida Keys, 44 of which are (or, in some cases, were) in Key West. During this time, I have revisited many of the places already reviewed. In most instances, the food and service have been […]
When we communicate with others, either in person or electronically, there are numerous opportunities for miscommunication. Sometimes it is simply a matter of a person not knowing what they want. I often have clients tell me they want to go on a fancy vacation. When I quote them a price, […]
I like eating healthily as much as the next person, although you wouldn’t always know it from my current regimen of eating out. Hey, I’m busy. I’ve been moving, trying (and failing) to exercise more post knee surgery, working and generally running in ten directions at once. I know, I’m […]

I admit it, I love certain reality television shows. You won’t find me watching any of the Real Housewives (wherever they may be from) or any of the Survivors (I just don’t get it), but the whole Top Chef series – Top Chef, Masters, Just Desserts – has me riveted. […]
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), […]
