Downtown Ocala has plenty to explore! Grab some BBQ and whiskey at Brick City Southern Kitchen, enjoy rooftop drinks at District Bar & Kitchen or Terrace on the Square, and kick back at Bank Street Patio or Big Hammock Brewery. Don’t miss a sweet stop at Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, and craft beer at Infinite Ale Works, just around the corner.
If you’re heading to Gainesville while in town, there are a few spots that are special to us. Check out the University of Florida campus, where we both went to school, and swing by Shands Hospital, where our paths first crossed. For a little outdoor adventure, we love walking around Sweetwater Wetlands Park to spot gators and other wildlife. If you’re a plant lover like us, don’t miss our favorite plant shop, Plantstay, and for a fresh, warm treat, stop by Baloo’s Donuts & Coffee.
