We're all about Sanford Florida!
Ok, so before it looks like I am secretly paid by Carlos & Charlies I will keep it short… It just happens that we hang out a lot here and it happens to be my daily pic (again, I know!), not sure if it’s the music or atmosphere but it’s just what I need sometimes [...]
Since I grab lunch here every once in a while I didn’t want to leave an old classic unmentioned: Applebee’s. This location is right on the Park Place at Heathrow Plaza in Lake Mary. What I like about Applebee’s is that I always get what I expect. It’s also a great spot for casual meetings [...]
Caddies Pub is open! I am definitely planning on stopping by soon (especially since I walk by several times every day) so I can write a bit more about what this new pub offers. To be continued ;o) … Pin It
When Jose invited me to an Indian Brunch I first wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Indian cuisine is not exactly what I connect with anything breakfast related. Since I am a fan of Indian food though I was defintiely willing to try it. Well, it turns out, Memories of India is not actually offering [...]
If you are in need of a quick bite that actually tastes good, or like their slogan says “Fresh Food Fast” you should check out Sanford’s Gourmet 2 Go on First Street (the location used to be Rubyfruit Juice and Smoothies, see Day 61). Try the Creamed Celery Soup (called a Sanford tradition due to [...]
Wolfy’s Bar and Grill has without a doubt one of the best locations in Sanford – right on Lake Monroe with fantastic lake views! This Key West style bar is a great place to meet up with friends for drinks. The atmosphere is very casual so you will certainly feel comfortable. Their motto “Food, Spirits [...]
Last Updated 08-17-2011 Today I just couldn’t resist to take some pictures of one of our favorite nightlife spots in the Sanford/Lake Mary area: Colonial Town Center, consisting of Colonial Town Park on the South side of H.E. Thomas Boulevard (46A) and Park Place at Heathrow on the North side. I have written about it [...]
Basti is back in Orlando to celebrate his b-day with Lupe and us, so after a day of shopping at the Prime Outlet Mall in Orlando we decided to eat at McCormick & Schmick’s by the Millenia Mall. I had never been to this elegant seafood restaurant so I was quite excited to be able [...]
The location that was formerly the restaurant/bar Wine Down (before that Urban Flats) at Park Place at Heathrow will soon be home to a new Italian restaurant, Silvestros. Silvestros actually has its original location in Cocoa Beach, FL and they are now opening their new location here in the Sanford/Lake Mary area. I am excited [...]
Sanford FL is a great place to enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning, away from all the hustle and bustle. Since I also wanted to check out the new covered shade I had written about during the week, I decided to visit the weekly Sanford Farmers Market on Magnolia Square and then walk a bit through [...]
On Day 239 I had already reported about the upcoming opening of Caddy’s Pub at Park Place at Heathrow in Lake Mary. Now, there is finally a sign on the building and I sneaked in today to ask the manager about the final opening date. He said it was still not a sure date but [...]
The Citrus Club is one of Orlando’s most exclusive and upscale clubs. I was lucky enough to be invited for lunch and dinner at the restaurant in the citrus tower (BB&T building on Orange Avenue) several times in the past and have always enjoyed the amazing views of Orlando from up here. It is not [...]
Taste of Thyme is a quaint little cafe on Magnolia Square. Walking through Sanford I suddenly felt the urge for some chocolate ice cream – with these temperatures I am not surprised I felt that way – and so Taste of Thyme was the place to go The ice cream was delicious (Blue Bell), and [...]
A friend of us, Stony Sixma, had been inviting us for months, if not years, to come watch him play music at the Swamp House Grill in Debary (Highbanks Marina and Campground). I am happy that we finally made it out there! We had a great time at the Swamp House Grill and I really [...]
Right off Magnolia Square in downtown Sanford you will find Stone’s Throw Bistro. This restaurant’s motto is to pair up great food with exceptional wine and beer – at an affordable price. Some of the delicious menu items include Pistachio Crusted Grouper, Balsamic Dill Lacquered Salmon and Mojo Chicken Breast. Stone’s Throw Bistro also serves [...]
Looking for Italian food and pizza in Sanford? You might want to check out Angelos Pizzeria on First Street. It may not be the best Italian food you’ve ever tasted but it is good food and if you’re in the mood for a calzone or pizza, why not? Sitting outside on the little patio on [...]
The Colombian cuisine is one of my favorites – of course I am a bit biased here because Jose is from Colombia and I have been there twice now and enjoyed their food and culture very much. Nevertheless, I think a Colombian restaurant is worth your visit so you can from your own opinion. There [...]
Bosphorous is a phenomenal Turkish restaurant on Winter Park’s Par Avenue. In fact, Bosphorous is currently the only Turkish restaurant in Orlando. Since Germany has lots of Turkish restaurants and eateries, I have always been exposed to Turkish food – and enjoyed it very much. I have also traveled to Turkey and have since been [...]
Summer time is ice cream time! Well, in Florida, it’s actually ice cream time most of the time… My favorite ice cream place in the Sanford area is Brusters in Lake Mary (right off Lake Mary Boulevard). Their ice cream just tastes very fresh to me and I live the flavors. Jose is more a [...]
Yay! Carlos’n Charlies in Lake Mary (at Colonial Town Park) is finally open! Since Jose and I were assigned to help the manager find a home in Lake Mary/Sanford we met him early on and were invited to the grand opening VIP party (Friday June 19th)! The party was a great success – it started [...]
