Key West has an array of ethnic foods from Cuban to Thai and everything in between, except Indian food. While I’d love to have some good vindaloo here, I don’t really suffer with all of the other good eats in town. Colombian Grace is one of the newer additions to […]

Blue Heaven is one of those place that has an eternally long line. You can wait an hour an a half just to sit down on a Sunday morning. Fortunately, just across the street is Le Creperie. Yolande Findlay used to have a little crepe place right on Duval street. […]
People in other climates dream of sitting in a waterside restaurant, pulling up on their boat and enjoying a simple meal. In the Florida Keys, this is part of life. Open air restaurants, with water views and friendly service are virtually everywhere here – that is how it goes when […]
I often shy away from Cuban food, even in Miami where it is plentiful. Why? I spent a lot of time working with loads of people who insisted on going out for Cuban food for lunch. We went to places where everything was loaded with some sort of pig product, […]

I just don’t get valet parking, unless you can’t walk or it is pouring rain. 100% of the time I will choose to self-park, however. Why? A) I don’t want to pay you to park my car when I am perfectly capable of walking all the way from the parking […]
