Food Scene

At dinner time, the service can be slow, but if you're not in a hurry, the food is excellent. It's really nice to sit outside and it's convenient to combine with a ball game or a movie at Cinematique

I love this place! If you've never tried Thai food, knowledgeable servers will help you navigate the menu to find something you'll enjoy. I like to sit outside by the fire pit.

A little more upscale. This is a good choice for an evening of quiet conversation, delicious Italian food, and a nice bottle of wine.

Delicious vegetarian dishes, but something for carnivores as well. Great lunch spot. Check hours because they close early.

Fine dining in the restored home of President Harding. The building is on the National Historic Register. Elegant environment. I like to dine downstairs, but the fireplace upstairs is nice too.

Casual family-owned breakfast/lunch diner. It's just a short walk up Peninsula, so it's very convenient. They close early, so check their hours before you go.

This restaurant is owned by one of my former English students from Mexico. The food is delicious and definitely authentic Mexican. Order at the counter. I often get take-out from here.

This is a popular spot with my family. It's a theme restaurant based on the Forest Gump movie. Delicious shrimp dishes! Generous helpings so we always have leftovers. Fun gift shop.

This is a nearby, cozy wine bar with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a nice selection of international wines, helpful wine stewards, and delicious tapas. Stopping here is very relaxing way to wrap up an evening.

Arts & Culture

If you like slightly off-color entertainment, this is a fun place. Talented female impersonators sing and dance, and good-humoredly engage the audience. Bring your camera!

Shopping

You've never seen a bookstore like this. I take visitors here all the time. The store is packed floor-to-ceiling with second-hand books. Fun browsing!

If you forgot anything you need for a swim, this store is just down the street (corner of Bostwick & A1A). The store is well known for helping women select a bathing suit to flatter any figure.

You can watch chocolates and fudge being made in-house. Novelty chocolates (shells, flip flops, sea animals) make nice take home souveniers (if they make it that far). I love the non-pareils.

Essentials

This is the nearest large grocery store. Head out to A1A, turn right (south), and the store is approx. 2 miles south on the right. You'll pass a Winn Dixie on the way, but Publix is nicer.
