"The Bob Carr Theater is managed by the Dr. Phillips Center and located in Creative Village. The intimate theater’s acoustics make it ideal for concerts, symphony and ballet performances, and private conferences."
"From the intimate Orlando Repertory Theatre and Mad Cow Theatre to the Broadway Across America Orlando series, the entertainment options are endless."
"Located inside the Rosen Plaza Hotel, this nightclub is easily accessible in the city. 3Nine has a well decorated and extremely attractive patio bar which runs round the clock. Another bar is situated inside the club to keep you going while you are busy dancing on the best music beats."
"Located in Maitland close to Winter Park, about 30 minutes north of International Drive, the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center doesn’t just teach about the past. It also focuses on a future that is free of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and bigotry. One of this museum’s most unique exhibits invites you to don Oculus googles for a powerful virtual-reality experience that will transport you to the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis, with Frank sharing her inspirational story along the way."
"With a collection of over 200 works by the award-winning, internationally recognized Czech-born sculptor Albin Polasek, the museum not only offers a reprieve for art lovers but nature lovers as well. Located on beautiful Lake Osceola, the sculptor’s home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, sits amid breathtaking grounds. Take a guided tour through the three-acre sculpture gardens, find serenity in the chapel, or simply linger along the tree-lined paths while enjoying one of Central Florida’s spectacular sun-filled days."
"Born in 1879 in what is now known as the Czech Republic, internationally acclaimed sculptor Albin Polasek emigrated to the U.S. in his early 20s. During his long career, he created more than 400 works of art — and you can view nearly half of them at the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens in Winter Park, about 20 minutes north of International Drive.

"This cozy little plant-based café must be onto something because it’s always crowded. Chelsie and Jamie Savage spent years traveling the country tasting plant-based food and brought their finds to the Mills 50 District where they are winning over the hearts, and stomachs, of the community. The Sanctum serves vegetarian in addition to vegan fare, so as long as you are fine with a shared kitchen, you won’t be disappointed, especially because the ingredients are all GMO-free and mostly organic."
"Address: 715 N Fern Creek Ave, Orlando, FL 32803Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-9pm, Fri-Sat 8am-10pm, Sun 9am-4pmPhone: (407) 757-0346Website: http://thesanctumcafe.com/. Credit: The Sanctum Facebook. As one of Orlando’s newest vegan restaurants, The Sanctum is quickly becoming a community favorite for their wholesome and sustainable menu."
"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. When discussions about health food comes up, the usual descriptions that resonate are tasteless and bland. But at The Sanctum cafe, the owners aim to dispel such things."
"The vegan diner by former Blink-182 road chef and cookbook author Mary Westfall and A Day to Remember guitarist Neil Westfall has arguably been the most buzzed-about restaurant opening of the year. This wife-and-husband team opened WPBCo inside East End Market plating flaky, fluffy biscuits fashioned from oat buttermilk with their fried chick’n. But it’s the Impossible Burgers served on a potato bun with secret sauce, house pickles, American “cheese,” lettuce, and tomato that’s winning over flexitarians and meat-eaters alike."
"Plant-based dining is at an all-time high in Orlando and one restaurant not to miss is Winter Park Biscuit Company. Everything on their menu, right down to the sauces, is completely plant-based. The menu is filled with tempting options, but we suggest the truffle butter biscuit – a flaky oat buttermilk biscuit served with a side of truffle butter – or the crispy chik sandwich – a vegan chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo on a brioche bun."
"Winter Park Biscuit Co. has been known to the locals since 2017 when the husband-wife-owned business started doing pop-up kitchens around Orlando. The restaurant moved into a brick-and-mortar location inside East End Market in 2020. Diners repeatedly ask again, and again and again, if the crispy "chicken" sandwich is really vegan (it's made of a soy and pea protein patty) or if the "buttermilk" biscuits really contain dairy."
"Located inside of one of Orlando’s most hoppin’ areas (SoDo – South of Downtown if you’re not a local!), Rockpit Brewing Company is next on my list of breweries in Orlando. This place is home to some of the best beers around. With over 20 beers on tap and an excellent menu of barbecue bar food that’s made to compliment those great brews, you’re sure to have an incredible time at this brewery in Orlando."
"If you’re looking for a family-friendly spot to get beer, you’ll receive a warm welcome from this family-owned neighborhood brewery. Rockpit Brewing has an ever-changing line up of small-batch beers. Aside from awesome brews, the staff here is super knowledgeable and friendly."
