La Creperie | Review
La Creperie was the brainchild of a couple of the original chefs at Croissants de France, so you know that the food has to be great! Proprietresses Yolande Findlay and Sylvie Le Nouail both come from the Morhihan region of France referred to as Brittany, and so they describe their food as such. The fare […]
Bad Boy Burrito | Review
Bad Boy Burrito opened its doors in 2008 and has gained a strong following. It is located at 1220 1/2 Simonton Street. If you blink your eyes, you will drive by this small establishment, so keep alert! I was not sure what to expect before I came here, but I have to say that I […]
Croissants de France | Review
Croissants de France, located at 816 Duval Street, has a bakery and an open-air bistro on grounds serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The pastry chefs are classically trained and the offerings at the bistro are amazing. This is by far our favorite breakfast stop on the island. Breakfast is served daily until 4:30 pm […]
Camille’s | Review
Locals flock to Camille’s daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, although the restaurant is probably most well known for the amazing breakfast specials that they offer and their mean Bloody Mary’s (hope you like horseradish, a lot!). You cannot miss Camille’s’s pink facade, located on Simonton Street. Upon entering, the space feels very homey and […]

To Tip Or Not To Tip?
Based on the number of times I am asked about this particular subject, I think that tipping etiquette is one of the most confusing things for visitors to our island community to grasp. Some people just don’t know if they are supposed to tip or how much. While tipping is certainly not mandatory in any case, it […]

2013 Southernmost Air Spectacular
Ever since I was a child I loved airplanes and air shows. It sounds funny to most people that I tell this too, but probably my favorite thing about living in the Key West area is being by Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, which is the Navy’s premier air to air combat training station. So […]

Last night we met some friends in Marathon for dinner. Annette’s has always been a favorite so we headed there for dinner and drinks.
