Beach Places to Go 5

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 1 February 2008 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.

Ok let's move down the peninsula a ways to a an area called "St. Armand's" near Sarasota and Bradenton. Look for one of the great Florida restaurants -- the Colombia House, featuring delicious Colombian/Cuban/Latino cuisine (there are several CH locations within Florida)...

Here notice the remains of a pitcher of delicious, cold sangria. Hits the spot on a hot, beachy day.

I love these pitchers of soft clay. Too bad they are so fragile...

@Wolfgang Prigge: If you ever get to a Colombia House, you can purchase one of these pitchers, new and unchipped. Just watch it in the dishwasher; hand washing is better.

it must have been a hot day , with all the condensation on your glasses

@Man with 101 names: It was hot; this restaurant has open air spaces and we were seated in that area -- heat, fans, shade, and sometimes on bad karma days, flies.

I'm feeling parched despite being in the middle of a snow storm! ;-) I imagine the colorful pitcher says something about the restaurant's decor.

I am sitting here in the dead of winter thinking "Florida is only a plane-ride away." Big sigh.

@Michael Rawluk: Florida can also be a state of mind, no matter where you are (or how frozen). Put on some Jimmy Buffett music, or a steel drum band, grab a Hawaiian shirt and put it on (over your long johns), and sip on a Margarita or a Pina Colada. You'll warm up fairly quickly... it works! Umm, you might also want to pull out the good old heat lamp and get it going, too. ;o)

I am already thirsty.
