What do you do when out-of-towners come to Gainesville? My friend Jason came to visit last Friday and I was sort of at a loss for what to do. I love Gainesville. It's a fun college town with lots of character. But Jason lives in Brooklyn. With last call at 2am and a lack of corner delis what do you do when a big city boy comes to town?
First we started off at one of my favorite places to eat, Cafe Gardens. The burgers there are delicious. The live music was decidely not good. We ended up going to the Top Friday night. I had too many drinks. Jason was shocked at the lack of things open past midnight. We ended up walking to Suncenter plaza in search of cigarettes. Katy drove us there but we walked home.
Saturday we went to the Butterfly Rainforest. No, I'm not kidding. I think it's totally worth it. A butterfly landed on me. Then we got gelato. The Gelato company is an awesome place to get lunch as well. Jason said it smells funny but I do not agree. Then we saw Kung fu Panda. I highly recommend it. Saturday night we had Satchel's pizza. They gave us free cake.
Sunday we were in a coma brought on by too much food. Mostly napping. We walked to Tim & Terry's in the evening. Katy came too. It was pretty dead so we ended up going to Copper Monkey.
Monday we got breakfast at Jeff's Deli. I finally got to meet Jeff. I love Jeff's Deli. They have breakfast all day and it is much more fun than IHOP. I highly reccomend it. Then I drove Jason to the airport and said goodbye.
