Stroll Through Towering Trees at Mangrove Park

July 16, 2015 2:35 pm

Even a dead end is cause for awe at Mangrove Park. When its boardwalk comes to an abrupt halt, the result is a dock with beautiful views in every direction. Grab a spot on one of its benches and look out across the ebbing waters, topped with speeding boats and fringed with flourishing greenery.

That greenery should look familiar, given that you've just cut right through the thick of it via the snaking boardwalk. True to its name, Mangrove Park features a wooden boardwalk that slices through vibrant mangrove forests. The namesake tree extends directly from the murky waters of the Florida wetlands, gnarled trunks and branches often leaning right over the railings of the boardwalk. Go for a walk or a run along the boardwalk and appreciate the natural beauty of your town along the way.

There’s Something Special About the Sorbet at TwentyTwenty Grille

June 25, 2015 2:34 pm

It's not every day that you find a restaurant whose founders are on the front lines, but that's the case at TwentyTwenty Grille. Founded by a husband-wife pair of well-trained chefs, Ron and Rhonda Wiesheit, TwentyTwenty Grille has a slew of reviews that mention Chef Ron and Rhonda (who often seats guests) by name. Together, the duo created a menu that incorporates local ingredients into fresh, modern American fare.

Each meal consists of three courses, but it's what comes in between each course that has many Yelp reviewers talking. Chef Ron and his team craft sorbets to cleanse the palate from unusual ingredients. One customer recollects a concoction of kale, guava, and cumin; another notes that his sorbet contained bell pepper, butternut squash, and cilantro. They're the perfect way to transition from a first course like the duck tacos or pan-roasted diver scallops to the "middle" course, perhaps Vietnamese Chilean sea bass bun rieu or grilled New York strip steak. Save some room for the third course: dessert. Sticky toffee pudding cake and chocolate truffle torte are both on the menu.
