Very few things surprise me. Every once in a while someone does something so egregious that it is shocking, but more often than not, things are just funny (like the woman who wore three not-s0-strategically placed drug store bows to Fantasy Fest). That was it. Three bows and some thigh […]

Imagine my delight when I read a new pizza joint opened in town. Imagine my further delight to realize that it is open until 4AM. Actually, I don’t really care about that, I much prefer to be sleeping at 4AM than eating pizza. Enter Bobalu’s, which was recently opened by […]
My Spanish sucks. It is more than a little embarrassing for someone who has spent as long as I have in South Florida. However, when I couldn’t pronounce the name of an absurdly good Mexican restaurant recently, I learned the name is actually Mayan, and my Mayan is significantly worse […]
There are very few restaurants here that conjure up the image of fine dining, professional service and great food all at once. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of good places here – those with great food, wonderful atmosphere and more, but the Marquesa is special. We went to […]
OK, as promised, I have the remainder of the Top 10 Must-Dos while in Key West for only a day. By now you should be full of pie, hot sauce, and beer, you’re feet are resting happily in your Kinos and you are wondering what’s next on the agenda? Glad […]

Key West has just about every type of food you could want, except Indian. Although I would love for someone to open an Indian restaurant, I’m not quite sure how grouper vindaloo would go over here. But, I digress. This weekend, I went to Goldman’s Deli in the Winn Dixie […]
Wahoo’s at the Whale Harbor in Islamorada was the lunch spot yesterday. After picking friends up at the Fort Lauderdale airport, we headed south for the beautiful drive to Key West. Mrs Mac’s was a little early in the drive and Keys Fisheries a little too late, as we were […]
The food is much better than it looks in these less than stellar cell phone photos. La Trattoria, at 524 Duval, is a delightful oasis in the middle of the action. However, in my opinion, they have committed a truly heinous sin: no vintages on the wine list. When you […]
Driving by the Barracuda Grill, it looks like every other restaurant in the Florida Keys: low key and fairly nondescript. Inside is a whole different ball game. It is charming, adorable and, as an added bonus, has great food. At first glance, the menu pricing seems a bit odd. Entrees […]
