Places to Hang:

• Beach – need to get the name of the big beach. It’s not walking distance, 5 min car ride. It has a sushi chef and bar. Usually food trucks and festivals on the weekends. 
• Patriot’s Pier – closest beach, really beautiful sunsets. Quiet vibe. 
• Sarasota Farmer’s market: Every Saturday. It’s MASSIVE. Really good food/drinks/crafts. 
• Gilligans – SO fun at night, always a live band and cheap drinks.
• Big Tiki: I think it’s kind of weird but my parents are obsessed with this place. Every Saturday, their friend “Casey on the Key” plays here
• Crescent Club: Dive bar but you can smoke cigs inside 😉 It’s owned by one of the people on the show Siesta Key
• Local Bean: Coffee shop, good for posting up to work. Good breakfast sandwiches. Try the macadamia nut coffee 
• Gilligan’s Coffee Shop: I forget the name of the coffee shop attached to Gilligan’s but it’s sooo cute, really great place to work.
