This is a perfect spot for a quick bite to eat. My FAVORITE is their classic burger. We all know of the grilled burger… but have you ever heard of a smoked burger? It’s delicious. There’s is also an outdoor bar if you are looking for something more q...

This is my favorite brunch spot for a Sunday Mimosa morning! The bar is beautiful and it sits right on a lake so you always have a good view. It’s great for sitting with friends and family for a fresh meal. When you walk in, there is even a small caf...

This is a very chill hangout spot hidden in Orlando that will make you feel like you have left the city for a simple southern vibe. I love it as a place to hang out with friends in a homey environment to enjoy drinks and mini apps!

This is a great place to shop, dine, and dive deep into the Orlando art world! It’s one of my favorite places to explore new local businesses. There is even a lovely park to stroll around to walk off your delish meal.

Yall locals might get tussled over this one - but I can't not place it here since I am there every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. 

If your a line dance, swing dancer, or just someone who likes a good fire pit, this place is the SPOT. I love it because when you are a regular, you start to build this mini community in a massive city. 

It's really chill and I never have to be concerned about how I look. I can be cute, I can be comfy - it doesn't matter. 

But is also a place with great deals and it can be a huge workout.

This is a great spot for people of all age groups. Theres a stage for live music where they encourage dancing, ice cream for the kids, and restaurants for the foodies. 

(Don't worry - there are also various bar stands!) 

I really like to come here when I want to “get out of the house but don't know where to go.” 

It's that perfect balance of  chill - but fun.

As a newbie to Orlando, I discovered this on one of my breaks from work. This fancy neighborhood is a small town vibe for a little walk of peace. If you’re looking for a little escape from the busy city, this is the perfect spot to do it! After you w...

If you want to venture a bit - a great day trip is Mount Dora. 

It is such a nice way to spend a Saturday. there are cafes, bar, and places to shop. I really liked how it was so walkable as well. 

I am definitely a walker so… you will see me on many side quests here to explore new paths. 

They had a lot of cool and unique shops as well. I swear one of them had a hidden meaning behind the theme, but I couldn't but my finger on it.
