Food scene
Our favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. It has a nostalgic feel and a great covered porch and patio area as well as indoor dining. While they have a full Italian menu, we like to select a slice from one of the dozen or so gourmet pizza offerings available and grab a spot outside on the patio.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué debes empacar
Central Florida has its own seasons.
Florida is aptly named the sunshine state. Pack sunscreen and wear it every day. A light rain jacket comes in handy most of the year. The weather can swing 35 degrees or more between daytime highs or daytime high to nighttime lows during most of the year. Pack layers of light clothes for most of the year. Bring a sweater and layers for travel in November through March. July through September will be warm everyday and every night.
