I saw the construction and the sign for Mrs. Mac’s new building for what seemed like a really long time. After inquiring, I learned that the new location up the street is, in fact, a second location and they would not be moving or closing the original location.

First of all, 48 degrees in May is an unacceptable outside temperature for a Floridian. Yet there I was, arriving in Milwaukee, to 48 degrees. In a sundress. With a fleece (at least I was kind of prepared). And flip flops. I went outside to meet my friend Bill, and […]
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.

The catchphrase is “If you love our steaks you’ll flip for our burgers” and the first location (although several more are planned, along with franchises) is in the Florida Keys, at the Postcard Inn at Holidays Isle.They have billboards with big, juicy burgers tempting all driving by.
