High Tide Harry's - Seafood - Orlando

@ High Tide Harry's in Orlando

High Tide Harry's sits just north of one of the top ten deadliest intersections in the United States, Semoran Blvd/SR 436 and Colonial Drive / SR 50. This is one of the many reasons why there is a huge new overpass being constructed in that area to avoid and reduce the number of pedestrian and vehicular accidents occurring out here. Shiver me timbers.

First of all, High Tide Harry attracted me from the road with its huge, beatific sign with giant crabs attacking it. It made me want to run over and save the building from this crustaceany invasion. by eating the attackers. chomp....chomp.chomp.

Stepping inside, you may notice the interior design to be reminiscent of a ship galley or a old bar, definitely some type of dive...

The best thing to get here is the dozen oysters, at $4.99 its a great deal! The oysters are pretty good and I am happy to report there were no disagreements with my tummy.

After the oysters my friends and I enjoy our meals. The hush puppies arrived first, replenished with a delectable, sweet cinnamon butter dip.

I also had some "blu stu", a stew made with fresh blue crab meat ($3.99). I thought the blue crab was excellent and the stew was altogether decent.

I ordered the soft shell crab sandwich, a whole soft shell crab fried and plopped between two buns with a side of fries and some cole slaw. ($8.49)

Overall, High Tide Harry's was pretty good, with decent prices (a lot of items were under $10.00) and that's a deal for seafood!

Los Autenticos Cuban Cafe - Orlando

Los Autenticos Cuban Cafe

The construction along Colonial Drive is pretty daunting, and with all the pedestrian traffic accidents going on (see www.brianfeldman.com), its probably easier to try to avoid the whole area.

But by doing so you may be missing out on some hidden shops in the area...such as Los Autenticos Cuban Cafe! Actually it's easy to miss even without the construction going on.

Located in a small plaza a little west of Goldenrod, Los Autenticos Cuban Cafe is a small, hole in the wall type place with great sandwiches that I would personally choose over Subway's any day. On this night I choose to order the "Cubano Especial" or Cuban special made with roasted pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and mustard on a large cuban bread. The sandwich is grilled flat and served hot, all for $5.99.






The sandwich is delectable and I enjoy the different flavors in the sandwich, tasting the flavors of Cuba and Latin America.

I also order a mango smoothie to enjoy, a thick, fruity delicious drink to wash down the sandwich with.




Hole in the walls are my friends
