From [email removed] Wed Jan 10 11:54 EST 1996 To: [email removed] (Robin B. Lake) Subject: Re: FL.eats Cc: Content-Type: text Content-Length: 860 Robin, Thanks for your recommendations for Key West. The trip was great! Now I'll reciprocate -- in addition to some of the great places you suggested (along with several others who replied to my post), here's a "must do" add to any trip. A place called Blue Heaven, two blocks off Duval in the Bahama Village. Great food, all outdoor dining, wonderful (very casual) atomsphere, and interesting shops and sights within the confines of the restaurant/bar/art gallery/shops/rooster cemetery (former location of infamous cock fights held on the island). They even have a hugh rope swing to keep the kids amused. The food we had was of the same quality as (probably even better than) one of the fine dining restaurants (Louie's Back Yard) and the bill was only around half as much. Again, thanks for taking the time to pass on your recommendations. tf.

Thanks. > corey cleland You should try: The Columbia Restaurant at The Pier in St Pete - Spanish ethnic with seafood dishes, wonderful view of the water. You can find their number in any phone book when you get there. They will give you a card for free valet parking after you eat, so enjoy having someone take care of your car for you. ....Kathi

KW> ....Kathi KW> -- > Kathi Webster > Tampa FL, USA > [email removed] > http://innet.com/~kathiw/index.html Nah, Kathy and Corey! If you are going to go to the Columbia, then go to the Columbia! The one in TAMPA, the ORIGINAL, the CLASSIC located in Ybor City, a Tampa neighorhood. It has been there for 90 years now, the oldest restaurant in Florida, and is the center of Spanish action. The other "Columbias" (St. Pete, Sarasota, Daytona, ect.) are owned by the same corporation, use the same name and advertising style, but can't hold a candle to the original, either in food, staffing, or ambiance. It's only a twenty-minute drive from downtown St. Petersburg, just off of Interstate 4, and has owned parking across the street, as well as valet parking. Be sure to call for reservations, catch the noisy and lively floorshow, and pick up a copy great new cookbook by the owner. Finally, you will be suprised by the reasonable prices, especially compared with those in the North. Bob Clark, Sarasota, Florida
