We live in paradise! The Florida Suncoast is a very special place. Every so often it’s nice to get away and see what the rest of our wonderful state of Florida has to offer. A few weeks ago, we did a weekend getaway and crossed the state to Delray Beach. It was about a 3 ½ hour drive.

The GROVE Restaurant, Patio and Ballroom located at Lakewood Ranch Main Street, will officially open its doors on Monday, December 10th. I was lucky to attend the VIP party to preview the food and drink offerings and have a sneak peek at the amazing renovation that has taken place at the former site of the Polo Grill restaurant and Fete event banquet space. Grove is the newest offshoot of Pier 22, the award-winning waterfront destination headed by restaurateur Hugh Miller and executive chef and director of operation Greg Campbell.

Recently I received an email from someone who asked me “What are some life hacks for living cheap in Sarasota”. I thought this question would make a great article. I changed the word from cheap to bargain because for me the word cheap means something, not of value. I wanted to find and share with you good deals for living in the Sarasota or Bradenton area. Deals for Dining in Sarasota or the Bradenton area are plenty. Did you know that there are a few Facebook pages that will advertise restaurant specials around our area?

We covered 20 cities and towns in 13 days while on vacation. From Long Island, to the Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Williamsport, PA, Brooklyn and so many more. It was a fabulous trip. We had a wonderful time! We were able to hang out with old friends from Rochester Institute of Technology who were so gracious and hospitable! Thank you, Doug, Henry, Stan & the crew at Keuka Lake and Don & Chris for taking us on both sides of Niagara Falls, and many great places in Buffalo.

I cannot believe it’s that time of year again! Time to partake and support our area restaurants while having a great meal at a discount. What could be better? Savor Sarasota started June 1st and will run until the 14th. The price fixed lunch menu will cost $16 and dinner up to $32 per person. Not all restaurants will offer the lunch fixed menu, so you will want to ask.
