RUN
The 1-Mile Downtown Dash was a live nighttime race in Fort Myers. This race benefits the local YMCA. There was physical distancing at the start, a warm-up with local fitness instructors, and a scenic 1-mile route that passes some popular local restaurants and historic landmarks. It was a beautiful and fun race. While there was not a medal, there were cheering crowds of people dining outdoors and beautiful scenery by the water against the backdrop of a great Friday night Florida sunset.
EAT
Wandering Roots is a Vegan Food Stand that has been popping up at local breweries and farmers’ markets. We decided to check them out when they posted about a Philly made completely Vegan with local mushrooms from Stropharia Mushroom Farm. They also had a tasty Vegan gyro. Their offerings are flavorful and robust. We definitely want to check out more of their menu!
DRINK
Ankrolab Brewing Company is a place in Naples that we have been meaning to check out for quite some time. We finally made it down. Their indoor and outdoor seating is plentiful and comfortable. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. They have a taco place right next door and food trucks on-site most nights. We each had a flight to check out the variety on their menu at Ankrolab Brewing Company. There were several styles full of flavor. We took a growler of one of our favorites home. Can’t wait to get back and have more of their menu.
THAT’S A WRAP! - Here’s hoping you are off to a great year in 2021!
