Arlight guys/gals...I'm vacationing down in Orlando next month w/ my wife and we're looking for some stuff to do...Other than the amusement parks, is there any hotspots? Nice restaurants? Nightclubs? Shopping? Any must-see attraction spots? Any recommendations will be appreciated

 

point orlando, couple nice restuarants.....mexican place is really good...lots of shops around

International drive....tourist area...just walk around lot to do

downtown orlando ...maaaaaaaany clubs

if i think of anything else to do i'll let ya know...but that should keep ya busy for a few days

 

Cafe Tu Tu Tango on I-Drive is unique. It's billed as the place where "starving artists" go to eat. Unique menu and unique surroundings. Highly recommended.

Take a walk around Thornton Park just slightly outside the downtown core. Nice shops and cafes there.

Don't forget Winter Park and Park Avenue. More upscale shops and cafes.

Check out the Millenia Mall as well. Very upscale mall - Burberry, Tiffany, etc.

Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center is cool. About 45 minutes east of Orlando.

 

Universal CityWalk and Downtown Disney are .

 

Talking about Downtown Diz, go by the House of Blues for a great dinner and a concert.

La Nouba, a Cirque Du Soleil performance gets my nod of approval (seen it twice!).

Clermont (~30 min drive west of Orlando) is home to Lakeridge Winery. They've got a 45 minute tour and wine tastings.

 

Oh yeah, don't forget to bring money....tons of it .... but seriously you should try Crazy Buffet on Altamonte Springs like 10-20 min from downtown orlando going upwards. They have the BIGGEST asian buffet i have ever seen plus those mouth watering sirloins wrapped in bacon are to die for

 

And if you do head over to winter park (he's right, there is a really nice downtown shopping area there) there is also a FANTASTIC (if this is your style) irish pub in winter park called fiddler's green. Great pub atmosphere (no pounding rave music, just comfy seats and good conversation.) They also have authentic (and good) food available, and my favorite, Strongbow on tap

 

hey whats up down here in orlando too on vacation looking for something to do around here been to disney and the malls, havent seen any evos yet any car meets or anything around here?

 

How long will you be down here? I'm sure I can get the locals together for a g2g.

You have to eat at Proccolinos if you like Pizza. Dude I'm addicted.

 

Are you kidding me...Orlando is like DSM/EVO mecha for Central Florida.

I would not endorse orldsm. Too much politics.

You need to visit the track. It is $10 to watch and you will see about 7-12 Evo's and 15 DSM's wed's and Fridays.
