Yesterday I visited
Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. It's the first time I've felt like a kid at Christmas in a long time. This was my first visit and I was really just looking for a place to eat lunch. I arrived around 2:00 pm so parking was no problem and better yet, Free on Sunday. I had a pretty good idea of the selection by checking my iPhone just before I arrived. As if the drive over was not beautiful enough, there is a fountain to greet you and a small amphitheater overlooking the bay. I parked near the fountain and as I turned and started to walk to where I thought I wanted to eat, I saw it.
World of Beer. Ok, maybe I was being just a little to quick to decide. This place needed a little more of an investigation. I popped in to the World of Beer just to see then headed up the street in search of lunch. There was one fabulous eatery after another. I was trying to look at both sides of the street at once and read menus as I went. I don't travel to West Palm Beach very often and I was amazed at the selection. How about a burger joint called
GREASE. Click the link. Great website too.
Oh I was so tempted but there were even more places just a little farther down the block. Sure it was hot and yes I was starving but I wanted to make the perfect choice. When I reached
Don Ramon's I was ready to commit. The restaurant was very inviting as was the staff and the menu made picking the restaurant seem easy. There were several things I was not too sure about so with a few questions to the waiter, I ordered them. On the way back to the car I stopped into This N That, an antique shop that had some amazing things and even more amazingly affordable prices. It was sort of funny seeing items I remembered growing up in the shop on sale. I found a small table I really wanted and at a great price. I wish I had picked it up. Oh Well. Even more reason to go back again. Sunday afternoon was the perfect time for a visit as I'm told this place is hopping at night. I only scratched the surface as there are several more streets in the area I left unexplored. If you like the bar thing and live music, they seem to have plenty of that too.
Oh cool a new antique store to explore.
ReplyDeleteThere were items from out of my past all over and very affordable I thought. Everything but the Betty Boop clock of course.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but what did you EAT??? And I give up - how DO you make the link text larger? All I seem to be able to do is change the colour (already an improvement ...)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember exactly what it was called but it involved potatoes and spicy ground beef with plantains cut thin and fried like potato chips.. or is it crisps in OZ. Sounds common but was a taste treat. Must have been all the secret ingredients I could not identify.
ReplyDeleteRight up there at the top of the edit page to the left of the color is the "tT" button which controls the font size. I just use one up from normal.
Oh man - I love a good burger, but with a name like "GREASE" I'm guessing theirs are about a thousand calories a pop? My belt's getting tight just THINKING about it!

@Sara - Actually if you click the link and check out the menu, they have a real variety and some pretty high quality burgers. I'll try and check it out soon and report back with some first hand experience.
ReplyDeleteAha! I thought you must have found a global link enlargement solution in the template!! I guess I'm just too lazy to update each and every one, so I've done it with colour!!! Thanx anyway ...
ReplyDeletePS Chips is right!!
