For a while now I have been complaining, rather loudly, to all around me, about the lack of really good ice cream in Key West. Sure there is Haagen Dazs, which is OK, but boooooooooooring. There is Flamingo Crossing, on Duval and Virginia streets, which has serviceable ice cream in […]

One day I will make it to the Grand Cafe on Duval for dinner. In the meantime, I have been there for lunch a couple of times and it is quite pleasant, if unremarkable. The food is good, the service is good, the menu is a tad on the boring […]
It was a chilly Saturday evening that we decided to dine at Cafe Solé, located at 1029 Southard Street in Key West. Fortunately they are well prepared with heaters, so it was quite comfortable in the garden. You realize, though, that “chilly” to this native Floridian means anywhere from 68 […]
It is 10 AM on Saturday morning. Our house guest is getting ready to leave, but we are all going to go out for breakfast first. I know it seems absurd, but somehow I thought that going to Blue Heaven would be a good idea. Perhaps we would get lucky […]
I first visited the Hungry Tarpon about 5 years ago, as it was breakfast time when I passed it. Since then, each time I have driven by at meal time I could not remember where it was. Alas, the Hungry Tarpon is located at MM 77 1/2, bayside, but it […]

NOTE: Out of the Blue is out of business. Check other restaurant reviews here for suggested places to go. If only the food and professionalism matched the lovely setting. Out of the Blue is a new restaurant (taking over the space that was formerly the White Street Bistro) with a […]
After two grueling hours of tennis, where neither doubles partner could cover his court very well (the regular partner was on the bench, nursing a non-swine flu cold), I was a bit hungry. Using my own version of logic, I decided that after spending a rather long time exercising, I […]
It had been years since I last visited Mangia Mangia on Southard Street. Why it had been so long, I have no idea. Mangia Mangia has one of the best restaurant wine lists around, and most likely the best in Key West (although I think a little more hands-on research […]
I am a wine geek. Some would call me a wine snob (they would be wrong), or picky (they would be right). Nonetheless, I am a geek. I have internet wine friends. I travel across the country for the sole purpose of drinking wine with people I have never met, […]
