Things to Do in FloridaCharming Tarpon SpringsRight off US 19, heading west on Tarpon Ave. in less than 1 mile you will soon step into a little Greek town called Tarpon Springs also known as “The Venice of the South”. This town was incorporated in 1887 and is the oldest city in Pinellas County. Tarpon Springs has plenty of parks, brick roads, delicious food, boutiques, antiques shops…  Visit Tarpon Springs In general, it has it all that you can think of a quaint old town. Just the perfect scenery for a splendid and fulfilling day. Tarpon Springs’ unique attraction is the Sponge Docks which is at the heart of the city’s Greek Town. This area was settled by Greek Fishermen in the early twentieth century. The Sponge Docks is actually registered in the National Registry of Historic Places. Tarpon Springs is also known as an art destination bust mostly known for its annual Epiphany Celebration in which young men dive in for a cross thrown in the Spring Bayou. As it is for me, I enjoy the antique shops and the fabulous food along the way. Special mention to Currents Restaurant for the amazing dining experience; Hella’s Cafe for its excellent coffee and delicious Greek pastries, and Rusty Bellies for Tarpon Springs’ freshest seafood and outside bar with live music.

Florida RestaurantsPerricone’s Marketplace & Café
A little more then a decade ago, Steve Perricone had a dream. He wanted to convert a home, sitting on S. E. 10th Street, just west of Brickell Avenue (built in the early part of the 20th century) into a restaurant. I shan’t dwell on the results of that effort, save to say that the idea ‘collapsed around him.’ Undeterred, Steve left for Vermont, where he found and dismantled a barn built around 1700. The patina of age, of the beams, flooring and walls have added to the comfort, charm and hominess of Perricone’s - a restaurant that is filled with local businessmen, the idle rich and people passing through town on business or as tourists. |

Maclay Gardens State Park invites the public to come out for a morning presentation by Julie Neel, a well known butterfly gardener from South Georgia.

She is a wonderful southern lady who has for years shared her joy of Butterfly Gardening with others. Southern Living magazine once referred to her as, “Georgia’s Butterfly Lady.” This workshop will take place at the Gardener’s Cottage.
