Southernmost Beach Cafe | Review
It had been a long, long time since I had last eaten here. But last night my husband and I joined our friends at the Southernmost Beach Cafe for a birthday dinner celebration.

Death by Tako | Review
After a long bike ride all around Key West on Sunday my friend Pam was starving. “Let’s get a taco.” I am always up for food so we headed in to Death by Tako which is located at 1605 N Roosevelt. Blvd. and shares a space with Mellow Adventures. There are a few tables inside along […]

Incas Restaurant | Review
I had never tried Peruvian food before so a few of us decided to eat at Incas Restaurant for lunch.

Key West Helicopter Tours
Exploring the Florida Keys and Key West via boat is awesome! But seeing it all from the air is awesome in an entirely different way. High enough to see an huge expanse of gorgeous gin clear waters while still low enough to see sea life in great detail from above. Air Adventure offers several different […]
Big Pine Key Blue Hole: National Key Deer Refuge
When I first moved down to the Florida Keys almost 20 years ago I lived on Big Pine Key. It is located about thirty miles north of Key West and it is what the Florida Keys used to be like before commercialization started to take hold. Many roads are still unpaved on Big Pine Key, […]

Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe
If you have ever been on the corner of Elizabeth and Greene Streets in Key West then you have most likely seen proprietor Kermit Carpenter standing outside of his shop donning a green chef outfit and holding one of his Key Lime pies to draw in customers.

Havana | Review
This weekend I met up with my friend Pam for lunch. We decided to try Havana on Duval Street since neither one of us had eaten there before. The space is small and loud as you walk in, and it has the feel of a diner except it also has a full bar with a really […]
