If you plan on going to the beach while you are here, we seriously recommend New Smyrna Beach. Right outside Daytona, it is cleaner and less touristy. Only 35 minutes from DeLand!
Craving breakfast or a quick pick me up? Boston Coffee is the place to go. Try their frozen snickerdoodle! You won’t regret it!
Persimmon Hollow is part of the SoNY neighborhood (South of New York Ave), including Artisan Alley, home of several great boutiques and a great Friday night open-air market. Enjoy craft and beer and games here! They even offer a FREE brewery tour, every day at 5:07pm!
Grilled cheese and booze. Need we say more?!
This place is amazing. They are only open Mon-Fri but they serve some of the best pizza ever. It’s thin crust and served in rectangles, so you don’t have to feel bad about eating 7 slices (Hannah’s personal best).
The BEST ice cream in DeLand! Be prepared to wait if you get there at prime time (Friday/Saturday night). You won’t regret it! Hannah strongly suggests getting the “small (anything but), soft-serve, mixed, in a cone.”
