Hit up Downtown Sarasota’s Restaurants and Night Life

Not only does downtown Sarasota have super-cute street names named after tropical fruits like Pineapple St., but it’s also home to some of the best cuisine I have ever had.

MoZaic

• MoZaic: For a meal that makes your taste buds sing with each bite, visit this western Mediterranean-inspired gem. It’s one of the more upscale restaurants you’ll find here, with colorful art and décor to match the vibrant flavors. It isn’t enough to say this is the best meal I’ve ever had in Sarasota.
• Mediterraneo: Your classic Italian with a modern twist. They even serve complimentary bruschetta to start with, and shots of limoncello to finish off the night with some zing. If you’re a cheese fanatic like me, order the mozzarella avvolta, which is mozzarella wrapped in smoked prosciutto over radicchio and baked in a wood oven. Talk about cheesy goodness.

World of Beer

• World of Beer: New to the downtown area, World of Beer lives up to its name. Sit outside and enjoy some music or head in to watch the game. Featuring over 450 bottles and drafts, the only thing you’ll have trouble with is making up your mind — but don’t worry, they’ll let you sample some if you ask nicely.
• The Gator Club: After dinner head down Main St. to visit “Downtown Sarasota’s watering hole since 1913.” Have a drink while you listen to the sounds of R&B and Top 40 albums, which have been embedded into the charming and historic brick walls over the years.
