Saturday Morning Sights at Downtown Sarasota’s Bayfront Park

2010-10-09T11:50:00.000-04:00

What fabulous weather in Sarasota right now! Snuffy and I, along with our friends Sandy and Lucy took a long walk this morning on Sarasota’s Bayfront. We encountered lots of doggies and their owners along the way as well as morning walkers and joggers.
Looking out to the bridge, Sandy spotted a dolphin close to shore. I tried to get the shot as it slipped past, but as you can see from the picture, I got just a tiny tip. What a beautiful sight with the bridge and Golden Gate Point in the background!

Over by the “Unconditional Surrender” statue of the kiss, Lucy was given quite a welcome by a group of friendly Sarasotans. She felt as though she won the Saturday morning marathon!

Lucy is a 14 year old Basset/Shar-Pei, and everyone always asks "what is she?" I always say "she's Lucy!" A very special lady!

And not to be outdoneby Lucy, Snuffy posed by the shoe at the famous statute as he grabbed a little breath from our walk.

Ceviche Perfect Spot Friday Happy Hour
Ceviche is one of downtown Sarasota's newest dining spots on 1st Street. The restaurant is located in the historic Times Building, constructed in 1925. Downtown Sarasota is home to professionals, full-time residents and vacationers in the summer. These diners are always searching for the newest restaurant to sample the savory delights of this seaside city.

Last week I returned to Ceviche with my Cleveland, Ohio customer to enjoy "housemade" potato chips, tapas and wine for Friday evening happy hour. I had mentioned to Claudia the excellent restoration of the Times Building previously, and part of our dining experience was to enjoy the beautiful work done in this new "hot" dining spot.

As early as 6:00 pm, customers started to appear enjoying the main bar serving Spanish wines, sangria, martinis. Adventurers who didn't mind the summer heat took the staircase or boarded the elevator to the top floor to goggle at nice views of the city. Many happy hour customers from the roof top terrace retreated to the main dining room to nipple on tapas, cool off in the air conditioning and order another happy cocktail. Sunset views at Ceviche are awesome!

Visit Downtown Sarasota condos to search for condominiums, area information and articles about living in one of Southwest Florida's thriving downtown communities. Ceviche is within walking distance to most Sarasota downtown condos.

Cafe Epicure, Downtown Sarasota Dining

2008-03-16T08:14:00.000-04:00

Cafe Epicure Perfect for Birthday Lunch

Friday, downtown Sarasota was bustling with professionals on lunch breaks and seasonal vistors. Two of my girlfriends and I met at Cafe Epicure to celebrate combined birthdays and chat about life in Sarasota.

In the 1970s two young women entrepreneurs in Charleston, West Virginia, Gayle Preiser and Marsha Pushkin started a plant store named "Place for Plants" and one night over spicy gumbo, Marsha talked Annette Smith into opening a kitchen shop which she named "Kitchen Kaboodle." The girls operated those businesses next door to each other for a decade and raised children somehow long before the term "Super Mom" was known. Friday was a day of reunion and celebration of our Charleston past and our Sarasota present.

Cafe Epicure was the perfect background for our lunch. Downtown was bustling, and the gals had to drive several minutes before finding parking spots but as luck would have it in Paradise, we all separately parked in spots a few feet from Epicure's front door. Our server read us a list of the specials, and we made our choices from quite a selection of salads, pastas and sandwiches.

Marsha and Gayle dined on fresh arugula, avocado, hearts of palm with tantilizing dressings, and I had a "to die for" grilled chicken sandwich with avocado spread -- yummy! Cafe Epicure is located on the corner of Main and Palm Street in downtown Sarasota. Don't miss it.

Visit Downtown Sarasota condos to search for condominiums, area information and articles about living in one of Southwest Florida's thriving downtown communities. Cafe Epicure is within walking distance to most Sarasota downtown condos.
