Two years after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Southwest Florida and inflicted severe damage to the docks at Tin City, the restoration and rebound process continues. Businesses at Tin City, including Pure Florida, suffered for weeks after Irma’s winds and storm surge compromised the sea wall and the entire complex nearly sank. The storm also caused catastrophic damage to the dock where Pure Florida’s historic sightseeing vessel, M/V Double Sunshine calls home. Dozens of employees were out of work for weeks during the initial recovery effort. Although Tin City officially reopened for business in October 2017, the long term engineering project of sea wall restoration had just begun. In March 2019 Tin City completed its major 10 month post-Irma restoration featuring a modernized, wider wa...

Actually, this sure to be Naples Downtown HOT SPOT is a couple of days away from opening so I'm not sure if reservations can even be made yet.  There are no reviews yet, although the LOOK is fabulous.  Offering a full menu throughout the day this could become a place where everybody knows your name so to speak.  It's a 180 from the former McCabe's Irish Pub and a welcome breath of fresh air to the 5th Avenue South location.  If there's one thing you'll quickly learn about the new scene's proprietor it's that there's no halfway with Mr. Phil McCabe.  This may sound like somewhat of a dichotomy but know that he's always All In and simultaneously All Out.   The real testament to this new venue will be the food because the atmoshere is not only buzzing but causing vibrations all up and down...

This year marks the 1oth anniversary of Cars on Fifth and each year supercedes the previous in both quality and quantity.  Sponsored by the Ferrari Club of Naples the hospitalty is always magnificent.  Exotics are showcased although you never know what you'll see here.  I've missed two of the last nine events and with any luck that won't happen again.  It is always the highlight of the season and one once seen will make you wish to come back for more.    Did I mention that it's FREE, all you really need are some comfortable walking shoes and a camera to capture the memory.  There are plenty of restaurants on the Avenue and vendors along the stroll.  What I like best is that this Car Show brings out the kid in all who attend by touching a piece of their history.  I am lucky to have owned...

That's right, McCabe's Irish Pub will close it's doors on Tuesday, however, it will re-emerge and offer some great entertainment and fine fare in due time.  It's expected to make the comeback within two years.  This great little Pub has entertained many since it's opening in 1997.  Locals love it and visitors can't get enough.  Situated on 5th Avenue South at the Plaza area you could dine inside or out while enjoying nightly live entertainment during season.   All Irish Pubs are going to be lively places and McCabe's was no exception to the rule.  My favorite meals were, of course, their shepherd's pie or corned beef & cabbage.  Wash it all down with a pint of beer and maybe a shot of Jameson to steady the soul as the music kicked in.   A few more shots and some River Dancing might beco...

January is filled with plenty of activity along 5th Avenue South.  The shopping is always a treat here and the restaurants are plentiful with delicious varieties of fare.  It may take a few visits to find your favorite places but know that one or more are going to tickle your fancy. The New Years Art Fair will be held on the Saturday & Sunday, January 5th and 6th, 10AM to 5PM.  Fifth Avenue South will be closed for artists to display their talents and usually all mediums are represented.  Oils, water color, acrylics, sculptures, castings, plastics and metals are expected.  You'll have no problem finding a talent that you can connect with. Evening on Fifth gets your rhythm flowing from 6:30 to 9:30 on the 1oth.  Entertainment is found at almost every intersection along 5th Avenue and the...
