Key West, FL
Heading there next week and staying in Key West. Any recommendations on "must see" or "must do" things while we are there would be appreciated. Thank you!

- Even though Daytona bike week is 10th through the 19th... there will still be plenty of load exhaust noise all night long but not as bad as the week before any after. Watching the fruits and nuts is year round but even better during Fanasty Fest in Oct. Once is usually enough for Key West.
. - Hawk being that I've never been, I think the Fla Keys itself will be great to see. I'm hoping to get down that way this year too!! Have a great trip!
- Take a day trip to the Dry Tortougas. Eat a seafood meal at the Rusty Anchor on Stock Island (not far from Boyd's). Visit Hemmingway's house.
- We love all the Keys. We try to make it down to the Keys at least every other year. I enjoy my Cuba sandwiches and Cuban coffee, make sure you get down to Sunset pier and watch the free shows on the pier at sunset. It's a nightly thing.
- We took one of the tours, I think it was the conch tour or something like that. We went on the first one of the day (so it was practically empty) and that gave us a pretty good of what we wanted to spend more time on the rest of the day.
- Go to the garden of Eden clothing optional bar
- Mallory square at sunset

Mallory square at sunset- Not sure if you are traveling as adults or with children. Off the top of my head, here are some:
*Dry Tortuga's: Take the Fast Cat out to really get a good experience
*Hemingway's House
*Mallory Square for sunset celebration
*Restaurants: Blue Heaven for breakfast; Schooner's Warf happy hour appetizers and entertainment, Pepe's, Louie's Backyard (fine dining)
*Bars--long standing: Green Parrot, Sloppy Joes, Irish Kevin's, Schooner's Warf, Hog's Breath
Many of the above places in Key West have live feeds.
As you travel down through the keys.
*Key Largo: Key Largo Chocolate and Ice Cream. All home made ice cream, allergy friendly sorbettos, and chocolates. Factory on site and if during the week you can see the production through the windows. Rachel Ray voted their Key Lime Pie on a Stick the best frozen dessert in FL
*Tavernier: The Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehab Center allows you free up and close encounters with many of Florida wild life and great bay views
*Islamorada: Robbie's. If you have never been to feed the Tarpon a great quick stop. Even going on the pier and just observing is an experience.
Lorelei has good food and a great spot to catch the sun set depending on what time you are traveling through. Michael Trixx, puts on a fabulous magic show, is there M, W, F and starts just after sunset. He is known to draw a crowd.
