What’s On Suncoast? 9.3 – 9.10

The Suncoast Post asks, “What’s On, Suncoast?” Here are some ideas for things around the area this week of September 3, 2021 – September 10, 2021!

The Lost Leonardo (2021)

The Lost Leonardo (2021)
711 N Franklin St. Tampa, FL 33602

THE LOST LEONARDO is the inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million. From the moment the painting is bought for $1,175 at a shady New Orleans auction house, and the restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brushstrokes under the heavy varnish of its cheap restoration, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money, and power. As its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity: is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci?

Called “A surprisingly suspenseful story about art, money, and politics” by Daily Beast, THE LOST LEONARDO unravels the hidden agendas of the richest men and most powerful art institutions in the world and reveals how vested interests in the Salvator Mundi are of such tremendous power that truth becomes secondary.

Various showing at the Tampa Theatre, check website for times and other information.

Outdoor Sound Alchemy Sound Bath + Meditation with Zen Seraphine

Outdoor Sound Alchemy Sound Bath + Meditation with Zen Seraphine
Pineapple Yoga + Cycle Studio, 517 South Pineapple Avenue Sarasota, FL 34236

Sound Alchemy Sound Baths with ZEN Seraphine are luscious group events in beautiful spaces, that inspire the mind, body, and spirit into deep rest, rejuvenation, and renewal. These sound experiences are offered outdoors, on the first Saturday of the month at Pineapple Yoga + Cycling Studio. If it rains, the class is brought indoors.

Zooey Seraphine’s unique approach to sound baths weaves the principles of sound therapy & musical composition with NLP-informed guided meditation for a transformative surround-sound experience of clarity, release, and serenity. Imagine being surrounded and massaged by the sound vibrations of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal pyramids, bells, chimes, seeds, shamanic drums, and other celestial sounds, while you sink into a feeling of serene relaxation.

Original Frenchy’s Cafe

Original Frenchy’s Cafe
41 Baymont Street, Clearwater, FL 33767

Michael Preston born in Quebec in a bilingual household was nicknamed Frenchy as a child, and it has stuck. Frenchy’s goal was simple: to have a friendly, laid-back place where people could come to enjoy a cold drink and fresh seafood. So in 1981, Frenchy’s Original Café, the quaint restaurant on a tiny side street, opened its doors to the beach community. The Café became an instant success, with lines of people stretching out the door on a daily basis. To ensure a constant source of fresh fish to the Café, Frenchy purchased a fleet of fishing boats and eventually opened Frenchy’s Seafood Company.

With these resources in place, Frenchy’s became “famous” for its fresh Super Grouper sandwich, spawning the opening of four more restaurants: Frenchy’s Saltwater Café in 1989, Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill in 1991, Frenchy’s South Beach Cafe in 2003, and Frenchy’s Outpost Bar & Grill in 2013. Three decades running, the Frenchy’s restaurants are still regarded as a staple for delicious, fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood at reasonable prices in a fun and casual beach atmosphere.

When in Clearwater, ensure Frenchy’s is on your list for lunch with a unique comfort seafood twist. Se what so many people in our Suncoast communities know – this is the place for amazing food and great times with friends and family!
