If he's made the Apricot Bars, try to buy the entire sheet if you can. (yes, the entire jelly roll pan. you can refrigerate!) My favorites for breakfast are the Mic Mic sandwich, the Breakfast Sandwich (with some amazing cross between a tortilla, Nan bread and bread), and the Lisa Bowl. The Iced Salted Caramel Lattes are the best. Oh, and the ice cubes used in the ice coffees? Yeah, they're made outta coffee! No dilution of your beverage for you

Try Scully's for dinner (or the Hut, for something a little less formal). The seafood dishes are awesome, the Bahama Mama's divine and the key lime pie an icon. If you don't like key lime, try ice cream from one of several shops on the boardwalk, but beware the seagulls.
