I love finding the out of the way, off the beaten path places… and then sharing them with you. Geiger Key is just this place. If you have an opportunity to explore outside of Old Town.. do it! You will be amazed at the places you will find. About 30 minutes...
Jul 25, 2017 | Desserts, Where to Eat
Usually when I am on White Street, I am stopping at Sandy’s. But, not today. Today, I went to Key West Cakes. I have heard so many good things about this place, that I just had to see it all for myself. This unassuming place is now my sweet treat stop. They...

When you head over to James Street you see a little different Key West. The buildings are more functional … modern than those you find a few streets over in Old Town. The Key West Electric Company building is no exception. Located at the corner of James and...

I love tacos. I love chicken. I love spice. I love… well, you get the idea. Chili Lime Chicken Tacos is the answer to my cravings. So easy to make I will probably make this a lot this summer. You will too. Step 1: To make the rub, combine the olive oil,...

Located on Simonton Street, in a former Coca Cola bottling plant you will find Key West First Legal Rum Distillery. The rum is made on site in custom-made copper pots. What’s cool, is you can tour the plant, talk to the owner (if he’s on site), and, of...
Jul 3, 2017 | Historic Walking Tour, Inns, Where to Stay
I love how you can combine history with a really cool place to stay. The Weatherstation Inn combines my two loves. Located at 57 Front Street, you are in the heart of Truman Annex. One of the quietest, most centrally located places in town. Centrally located to...
