The Top Museums to Visit in Orlando
"At the Orange County Regional History Center, you can experience life in Orlando, once known for its citrus farming and cattle, as it was long before Walt Disney famously set his sights on it. Travel through history in the restored 1927 brownstone courthouse, located in the heart of the city, and turn back the clock thousands of years to see how Florida’s indigenous people lived. Discover the life of early pioneers who slept on pillows stuffed with moss, or even step into modern times by visiting Courtroom B, the very place where notorious serial killer Ted Bundy allegedly carved his name into a desk as he sat on trial."

The 13 Hottest Restaurants in Orlando Right Now, Spring 2021
"The owners of Bombay Café closed their longtime veg-only eatery to focus on a new Indian street food restaurant situated in a larger space just down the street. BSK’s menu is an intriguing amalgam of the quick eats served in cities from Delhi to Chennai – dishes varying from kale chaat to fish colombi to momo to hakka noodles. It’s a large menu, but the “gola” station serves the ideal Florida treat – shaved ice in a host of flavors and toppings."
