Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88

Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88

Meals at sunset in the Florida Keys can be found up and down US1, the Overseas Highway. Directions to any of the places to watch the magic will also always include a mile marker. Of the 110 plus miles (or markers) from the mainland to Key West (mm 0), I’d recommend a few along the […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Mallory Square, Key West

When people think of sunsets in the Florida Keys many think Mallory Square in Key West. It’s a good choice. On my first visit to Keys, now over a decade ago, I watched my very first Florida Keys Sunset from Mallory Square. And now with each visit down to Key West I make a point […]

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

I visit the Florida Keys often and when I tell people they often respond with, “Oh, Key West.” No, not exactly.  The Florida Keys are more than Key West.

Sunset Sunday – Upper Keys, Florida

In a play based on my life, the Florida Keys would be one of the major settings along with perhaps New York City and Mexico. The destination provided so many wonderful memories (a few scary ones too). I expect so much more magic from the Keys in the future too. Yes, I will always return […]

Sunset Sunday – Islamorada, Florida Keys

A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away while the temperature dropped just a few degrees from its midday high. The idyllic climate matched the setting as I settled in for the sunset at Pierre’s in Islamorada. The bartender arrived with our cocktails and placed my manhattan on the table. As I reached for my first […]

Sunset Sunday – Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida

Sunset Sunday – Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida

Key Largo, essentially put on the map by the 1948 classic staring Bogart and Bacall, was once known as Rock Harbor. The community decided to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and insisted that their post office be called Key Largo. On June 1, 1952 the name changed. Much has changed since then, and […]
