Good luck man.
FLA and CT are locked in a death struggle for that title.
Y'all need to fall back, cause you definitely haven't been to the right parts of Florida if thats how you feel.
In Orlando: Park Ave always has decent stuff, talk to Calvin.
You can hit the Flea Market on Colonial (aka 50) a couple miles west of I-4.
Other than that it's pretty much local heads info that I'm not gonna blow up, but holler at YNOT, cause he's still out there, so it's his spots.
There might be a record show going on, you should check as they go down pretty regularly at the fairgrounds (same place as the flea market).
As with most of Florida, hitting the thrifts will pay off.
Mad BBQ spots, but I couldn't tell you what to do with them.
Stardust is a great spot for lunch, and soaking up local people, it's also across the street from Park Ave.
If you're gonna have a whip and time then hit up the Nike Clearance center. There are a number of Nike outlets in Orlando, but there's only one clearance center (there's one other one in the US). They get crazy shit.
There are mad Indian restaurants. Woodlands is that bomb South Indian flavor, and Udipi is the bomb North Indian flavor.
Some of my homies have a pizza restaurant out by UCF called Lazy Moon. Good Pizza, and awesome beer selection.
Red Light Red Light is an incredible beer bar, but I'm not sure if it's still around.
Black Bean Deli has good Cuban food (Mills just north of Fairbanks).
On principle alone, you have to go to Skycraft.
Enzian is the dope indie movie theatre where they serve food during the movies.
For live music, check Stardust, Backbooth, and Social.
Also keep in mind that 'Orlando' denotes a huge area, so you could easily be close to one of the places i listed, and 45 minutes from another (the nike clearance center is way out though. I suggest eating at Udipi and then making the trek).
Daytona is definitely not where its at.
WHat was god awful about it?
b/w
what were you doing there? When were you there?
As far as BBQ goes Florida dissapoints, or a least has so far. There are loads of BBQ places, just not that many good ones. Being from Georgia and having spent a lot of time in the Carolinas I've found that the Florida joints just don't measure up. Someone please prove me wrong!
you have obviously never been to Alabama...
I was prepared to hate on florida when I went on my first visit this past xmas...I actually liked it...records galore, great food, nice beaches (on the Atlantic side), always fun to peep million dollar yhacts close up, and some cute ladies...FL is A-OK.
Everything from white sand to white trash.
To me Orlando is city built around a theme park. With a town that runs mostly off of tourism and conventions there is a very temporary vibe to it.
I was living there for a while doing the audio school thing at Full Sail. I moved from Orlando about five years ago but from what I hear things havn't changed much.
For records? You're nuts. Amazing variety of people move through the state: jamaicans, NYC DJs coming down to retire, jazz collectors, hoarders of all types.
Btw, thanks for he tips ya'll. I'm hitting the bins tomorrow.
Reading back on people's vibes from 3 years ago (quite random this thread was revived so suddenly), no things haven't changed much. But that's not always a bad thing, life's what you make of it etc. etc.
Always a party going on
Any YNOT's still here in the thick of it, big up ya chest sir
