FREE dessert at Baldoria this week. Just show your server this video. 🍰

The answer is always yes. Baldoria on Main Street is my new go-to for a night out downtown. Pour your own w**e from the tap wall, order the smoked old fashioned, and do not skip the burrata. The parmesan crisps come served on a chicken, which tells you everything about the vibe.

🗓️ Offer good Oct 1 to Oct 7
📍 Baldoria, 1528 Main St, Sarasota

Your October coffee plan, sorted ☕

The Sarasota Fall Coffee Crawl is back: 10 independent coffee shops, a $5 credit at each one, and all month long to hit them at your own pace. One $25 pass gets you up to $50 in coffee credit.

Cozy reading corners, fresh German bread, honey lavender lattes, NY bagels from a trailer, and six more local spots worth the drive.

There are only about 25 passes left, and the early bird gets the latte on this one. Grab yours at coffeecrawls.com ☕️

Save this for October and send it to your coffee date 👇

Found the bbq ribs everyone’s been talking about today at The Tides at Waterside 🍖🔥

Southern Smoked by JP has 20+ years of chef experience and it shows. Huge portions, fall off the bone ribs, and Southern sides made from old family recipes. Every bite was worth the trip. (don’t forget skip the mac & cheese and baked beans for your sides 🤤)

Okay, I need to talk about the pork belly from Corner Grill 17. 🤤 I’ve been craving it all week and finally used FoodTrukt to track down where they were parked downtown today. 10/10 worth the detour.

Found a döner truck in Sarasota run by a guy from Hamburg who’s been making it the real way for years. Shaved meat, warm fluffy bread, fresh toppings, no shortcuts. This is the closest you’re getting to Germany without a plane ticket. 🥙 Kebab.on.wheels

Do yourself a favor and go find them. Support local, it’s worth it.

Making friends as an adult is exhausting. But the Lakewood Ranch Dinner Club finally cracked the code. 🍷

After the incredible energy of their first event, the Dinner Club is officially taking over Main Street.

Here is how it works: You take a quick personality quiz. Their platform uses it to match you with a table of 5 other locals you’ll actually vibe with. No awkward networking. Just breaking bread and having real conversations.

The catch? Your specific restaurant is kept a complete secret until the morning of the dinner. And after dessert, every table converges at a surprise location nearby for drinks and an after-party.

The Details:
🗓️ Thursday, Aug 13 | 6:30 PM
📍 Main Street, LWR
🥂 Secret after-party to follow
🎟️ $15.99 secures your curated seat at the table
Seats at the table are highly limited.
