A Day Downtown
-
Morning
Begin with a big healthy breakfast at JP’s Everyday Gourmet (63 E. Pine St) before visiting the Orange County Regional History Center, a homespun place that reveals the pre-Disney history of the region. For lunch, wander over to Café Annie . This authentic café has Greek and Lebanese food, including mixed platters. This kind of food usually has lots of vegetarian options.
Afternoon
After lunch, jump in the car or grab a cab to Loch Haven Park, where the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) , the Orlando Science Center , and the Mennello Museum of American Folk Art reside within easy walking distance of each other. The Science Center, with its four floors of interactive fun, is the best bet for kids. Art lovers can easily hit the Mennello and the OMA in the same afternoon but if time is short, the OMA deserves priority. Make a dinner stop in the Vietnamese district where Vinh’s Restaurant (1231 E. Colonial Dr) serves up a top-notch bowl of comforting pho , a traditional, and delicious noodle soup.
Evening
The downtown club scene starts late, so kick off with an early cocktail at The Bösendorfer Lounge . Fans of live music should head to The Social , where shows start around 10pm. Diehard clubbers should try The Club at Firestone , where the DJs play well into the early hours.
