Food Scene
Habana Café
5402 Gulfport Blvd SCuban. Voted best in the bay.
Pia's has recently rebuilt and expanded their outdoor seating, which is just a good thing for everyone. The inside is lovely, and there are a couple of dining areas, including some private rooms. But they've really outdone themselves outside. And I haven't even started on the food yet. The food is so authentic, you'll think you're in Italy. And if Dylan is working, ask for one of his tables.

Refined Mexian and southwestern fare. I think they've done away with the Sunset Menu, which is unfortunate because it was just a delicious bargain! Go!

If he's made the Apricot Bars, try to buy the entire sheet if you can. (yes, the entire jelly roll pan. you can refrigerate!) My favorites for breakfast are the Mic Mic sandwich, the Breakfast Sandwich (with some amazing cross between a tortilla, Nan bread and bread), and the Lisa Bowl. The Iced Salted Caramel Lattes are the best. Oh, and the ice cubes used in the ice coffees? Yeah, they're made outta coffee! No dilution of your beverage for you

Everything is wonderful. There's also a small bar area inside, plus a larger bar, often with live music, outside. Tasty Greek treats plus others. The burgers are great, as is the Steak Diane.

O'Maddy's also has a great bar, but the food is so fabulous I put it in this category. Try anything that is one of their signature items (indicated on the menu) and you won't be disappointed. The Bahama Mamas are very good too. And I'm a connoisseur of them!

Raw! I stumbled across Leafy Greens because I had a potential guest who was visually challenged and on a raw diet. She cooks most of her meals at home and didn't want to do that while on vacay. Imagine my surprise at finding this gem!

Parks & Nature
A little further the other direction (north) is Caladesi Island State Park. You may need reservations for the short boat ride to it, but that boat ride is one of the things I like. Just the thing to cool you down a bit. And it is very native there, with only one building I believe. So you can really get away from the crowds...

If you would like to go spend a little extra time, Fort DeSoto is quite nice and there are bike paths there and bike rentals too. My favorite beach there used to be North Beach, but a year or so ago they cut down all the Australian pines because they weren't native. The pines were one of the unique things about the beach. But I understand people get these ideas in their heads, and they removed them. And
