The Super Grouper of Clearwater, Florida
by Craig Zabransky on September 24, 2014 in Culture Thru Cuisine
When visiting Clearwater, Florida I made sure to sample the seaside city’s cuisine and experience local culture through cuisine. All noteworthy destinations have a special meal, a delicious dish, and in Clearwater, Florida it is all about the Grouper.

Postcard-Super Fast Super Boats are a Super Good Time
by Craig Zabransky on October 17, 2013 in Events, Postcards
The roar of racing engines can be heard once a year in the charming coastal Florida town of Clearwater. But Florida’s Best Beach (via a USA Today poll) doesn’t play host to any NASCAR race, but rather the roar of the Super Boat National Championships. From VIP viewing parties to wading in the water at […]

A Different Path leads me to Rent a Jet Ski in the Florida Keys
by Craig Zabransky on October 13, 2011 in Adventure Mindset
At first, I was shocked at the price; seventy-five dollars for half an hour seemed steep. I was offered fifty-five (on the phone) at the shop by Snappers (mm94) earlier in the week, but no one was at the dock when I arrived. It’s the Keys. At times, I thought I just wasn’t meant to […]

by Craig Zabransky on September 28, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
I firmly believe we all need to treat ourselves. We must take time to enjoy life’s many pleasures. For many, including myself, that occasionally translates into tasting great cuisine. Simply, food is more than subsistence. Good food makes a good day and great food makes for a great day. And when you travel to South […]

Where to Stay in South Beach? – Hotel Victor
by Craig Zabransky on July 28, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?
South Beach. The very words bring a smile to many of us. Its sultry scene provides the chance to “see and be seen.” Whether you explore the beach, people watch on ocean drive, or head out to the clubs late night, it’s all about looking beautiful.
