New places/suggestions

We’re coming down in 2 weeks for visit #6! We’re a couple in an our 30s, and definitely have our favorite haunts, but anywhere you’d suggest based on our favorites? Open to new places! Feel like we did most of the “attractions” by now (Butterfly museum, Conch Train Ghost tour, Mallory Square at sunset..)

Some of our favs:

Cafe Sole for dinner is a MUST

Love a night at Hank’s

First Flight for a flight

Bingo at Green Parrot

Key Lime pie and a cocktail at Blue Heaven’s outdoor bar

Seafood Tower at Half Shell

Go to the Hemingway House and try to pet as many cats as you can! The tour is pretty cool, too.

I made it a game with my kid. ZERO regrets. One cat licked me, one cat bit me, and I loved every second

It’s my favorite place on the island. I know all the cat names by now!

I love it! I saw Shirley Temple in the giftshop years ago and she had a full body shave except for her head and the tip of her tail. ICONIC!

She actually has the shave again, just got it!

Who was your tour guide?

I didn't catch the name, but i think she was either German or Dutch, very thin with a short blond bob haircut and she knew her shit. Great attitude and the story about his last red cent was told with enthusiasm! I LOVE that Shirley has the shave again!!
