Food Scene

The line is out the door every day and they do not run out of bagels. But you get your food quickly. These are authentic bagels made from scratch and they have an entire case of toppings to choose from. They also have awesome sandwiches piled high with you favorite stuff. and the price cannot be beat. Steve, the owner is a good friend and I was the architect who helped him get his place open for business.

Teeny Tiny place but great place to get fresh caught grouper, the fish of choice here in Naples. Be prepared to sit outside because it gets crowded. Try a late lunch to avoid the lines. A little overpriced but even the locals like me eat there regularly.

Drinks & Nightlife

Food, wine bars, late night scene, cigar bars, shopping...this area has it all. 6.6 miles away. I suggest going there late at night if only for the people watching. I'm sure you will hear people talk about Blue Martini.

I have done this many times and always find it interesting and fun. I have had many different tour guides and they all have their own historical facts to share. If you have any interest in Thomas Edison or Henry Ford it is worth the trip.
