Coffee? Beer? Kombucha to go? Whippoorwill has got you covered in the beverage department, and it's a cozy spot to get some work done or just waste some time. Fun fact: we went here on one of our first dates (to see a performance, of course)! It's also where we took some of our engagement pictures, like the one above :)
The history center has some pretty cool exhibits from general Florida history, to theme parks, to aviation-- we highly recommend the Figurehead: Music & Mayhem exhibit which tells the story of how the Figurehead promo company helped grow the local scene with a focus on underground rock music and the club circuit. Musical acts featured include Black Flag, Jonathan Richman, and Drivin N Cryin, hometown favorites Seven Mary Three and Rob Thomas, and many more.
Vegan breakfast and lunch options served all day? Check. World renowned cookies that people wait for hours at Disney to get, with no wait? Check. Shops with locally made goods? Check. The best ramen and wings you have likely never yet had? Check. East End has everything for everyone and then some.
One of our favorite stops for a nosh and a drink (plenty of great NA options!) — dba is in very close proximity to Will’s if you’re looking for a classy spot to hang out before the show on Friday night. It’s right next door to its sister spot, The Strand, which we also highly recommend for dinner! If you go to The Strand you’ll likely want to make a reservation before you go 😊
