Publix is the best grocery store in Florida and you are fortunate to have one so close to the house. Head to Publix for all of your grocery and deli items. Pro tip - their subs are incredible!

Food Scene

It might not be the BEST BBQ in Orlando, but it is close, affordable, and very delicious. The pulled pork sandwich is fantastic and this is the best place downtown to watch live sporting events.

This is probably the best outdoor bar in Orlando. There is plenty of space, lots of people, and the food is pretty decent.

This is THE local bar on Orlando. The drinks are poured pretty stiff and the outdoor seating is right on the sidewalk, where there is great people watching.
