Immersion Restaurant at London House Orlando is a pop-up, petite, boutique, gourmet extravaganza.

You’ll spend the night on a 260-acre African-like savannah—in Central Florida—surrounded by, yet safely protected from, exotic animals.

I’ve been in my share of Ys, Jack LaLannes and hotel exercise rooms. Blend the best features of them all, and you have nothing — nothing! —compared to the Lake Nona Performance Club.

I just tasted possibly the best barbecue I’ve had in Orlando. The ribs, the chicken, the side of greens at Munchies Live BBQ—they’re packed to go at a lakefront campground in a tiny town called Gotha, and also served as part of a two-hour rural experience in the same location.

Discovery Cove takes strong Covid-safe measures from replacing unused Rice Krispies Treats to swapping out noodles for life vests in the lazy river.

I discovered a super-safe safari that’s so well set up you needn’t go near another person nor touch a single item that’s not yours.

At Field to Feast, tippy-top Disney World chefs prepare “on stage,” and personally dish out, seasonal dishes they designed just for the afternoon.

This isn’t a typical resort housed in a single building. Most guests check in at the original inn, then stay across the street parallel to the beach. The Surf Club with pools and restaurants is there too.

Why I love Alden Suites, how to win a two-night stay there, plus a discount.

For its first Halloween, Orlando's Boxi Park goes all out – for several nights – with Halloween theming, from Disney-quality costumed characters to Jell-o "shots" and "Biohazard" cocktails for brave imbibers.

Kontrast had all that Michelin polish – servers swooping in en masse to serve a whole group at once, for instance, along with copious amounts of stupendously delicious foods. Yet, with its industrial chic confines, Kontrast has a definitive warmth.

Sette was developed to serve the types of Italian fare one might find on the sidestreet of a hipster Brooklyn neighborhood. You’ll find red sauce here, and it’s good, but Sette is more about lemons and vegetables, olive oil and Parmesan, than it is the parmigiana-type dishes most popular in Central Florida.

Let me tell you what the Sanford Food Tour is like. The basics are simple: A guide walks a group of you to a few restaurants in the charming historic downtown area of this small Florida city. You taste a special food and drink at each, maybe more, and learn a little or a lot about the establishment’s back story.
