Port, as we call it here, is a long-standing downtown staple. I recommend sitting in the lounge—I consider it my personal “Cheers”. Very chill atmosphere. Get the BBQ sandwich or the smoked wings!

Saturday Morning on Spanish Street
Don’t miss the farmer’s market! Plenty of beautiful local produce and goods. It’s the place to be on a Saturday morning. Grab a coffee at Red Banner, hit up the market just down the block, then go visit all the lovely antique stores on Spanish and Main!
