With Spring Break around the corner I wanted to take then opportunity to share some of my favorite local hot spots. In this two part series you will find all my favorites restaurants and shops. Sarasota is known for it’s good eats and I have more than a few favorites to share.

In case you didn’t know, I’m born and raised here in Sarasota. I spent my younger years growing up on Siesta Key and until a year ago I lived on Siesta with my husband and two girls. I love eating and shopping local — I hope you will choose to support these wonderful local businesses too!
