Greenberg Traurig Orlando: Local Roots, Global Reach

Greenberg Traurig’s Orlando office, one of the firm’s six offices across Florida, was established in 1995 and has since become one of the largest law offices in Central Florida. With extensive knowledge of the local market, coupled with access to the depth and breadth of our multi-disciplinary global platform, Greenberg Traurig attorneys and their clients have played a crucial role in Central Florida’s growth.

“It has been especially rewarding to be part of the global success story of the Orlando community,” said Greenberg Traurig Orlando office Managing Shareholder Jéan Wilson. “We have been

Because Greenberg Traurig is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work, our attorneys and staff are active in many of Orlando’s community initiatives and nonprofit organizations. This includes providing pro bono legal assistance and financial support to numerous local and national groups in Central Florida, such as the Downtown Orlando Partnership (DOP), Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Orlando, Orlando Economic Partnership (OEP), and Innovate Orlando to name a few.

“Serving both the business and community at large has always been a top priority for us,” said Courtney M. Keller, who serves on the DOP board of directors, and is the Administrative Shareholder and Co-Chair of Litigation in Greenberg Traurig’s Orlando office. “Our efforts focus both on providing equal access to justice and resources for those in need, while also remaining committed to supporting Central Florida’s development and the evolution of its business community.”

“Ultimately, we strive every day to provide value added legal services to our clients at rates which are competitive in our markets,” Wilson said. “We invest in learning and understanding our clients’ businesses and needs because their success is our success.”

Orlando Just Upped the Sophistication Factor

BY JENNIFER MCKEE

It’s been a grand 2024 in Orlando with a multitude of new restaurants, attractions and hotels. A bright spot is the exquisite Conrad, which recently opened its second Florida hotel here (Fort Lauderdale was its first). e 443-room gem sits only three miles from the theme parks and has five fine restaurants, more than 65,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a spa and an 8-acre crystalline lagoon and pool complex.

What makes the Conrad standout is its seamless flow between the natural and the manmade worlds. Orlando is home to the headwaters of the Everglades, and the Conrad takes inspiration from our natural springs to create an indoor/outdoor environment that soothes and delights. It’s adjacent to a nature preserve and set inside the lush Evermore Orlando Resort, with features that range from a tranquil water garden to kayak rentals to exclusive access to the Links Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus in homage to the famed Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland.

It all exudes relaxation, from the moment you step into the lobby, with its wooden Chris-Craft boat and calming color scheme that’s full of pleasing artwork that, once again, hearkens back to the hotel’s aquatic connection.

e older I get, the less I want to run myself ragged on vacation. I remember in my 20s how I’d schedule every minute of a trip to maximize what I could see and do, like the episode of “Full House” in which Bob Saget’s Danny Tanner micromanaged his family’s excursions on a trip to Hawaii. It threatened to undo the very bonds it should have cemented. inking about that episode today, I wonder if I’d take the same approach had I gone to Hawaii in my 20s. But I know this for sure: the 2024 me would embrace the island spirit and opt for a more relaxed vacation.

I was faced with the hectic vs. relaxed dilemma at the end of January when I sailed on the world’s largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas. e number of experiences on the schedule each day were mind boggling, and when I boarded the ship, people were already

Lucky for me, my room came with an ocean view. Many mornings were spent with room service, and on many evenings, I was enthralled by the lulling waves from a cozy lawn chair on my balcony.

I still had more than enough time for exploration. I saw all the shows, ate at most of the restaurants, laid out on deck—frozen drink in hand— played trivia (and won), rode the carousel and listened to some great bands. I discovered the back of the ship, something every traveler must do on an ocean voyage.

And along the way, I sampled the different types of loungers available on each deck. I was a connoisseur of relaxation.

A GRAND VACATION

The Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek delights with five pools, two lazy rivers, golf, a spa and much more.

A Brighter Future

IIN THREE YEARS, 18-year-old Jonathan Eichenholz will hit the “service cliff” for his autism spectrum disorder, meaning most healthcare services he now receives will stop.

Unlike many parents of aging autistic children, Jonathan’s entrepreneurial father has the financial means to provide for him in his Baldwin Park home for the rest of his life.

But Dr. Jason Eichenholz, co-founder and chief technology officer of Orlando-based Luminar Technologies, chose to give his “exceptionally social” son a chance to live a “full life of dignity and purpose with 499 of his closest friends.”

That vision—still largely in its formative stages—refers to Jonathan’s Landing, a proposed self-sustaining residential community in the Orlando area, where 500 adults with autism, including, of course, its namesake,

will be able to live permanently, if needed, with access to meaningful work and increasing independence.

Autism spectrum disorders carry a broad range of developmental delays that impair socialization, communication and behavior, affecting an estimated 1 in 36 children today in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Jonathan tests on both ends of the spectrum. His father says Jonathan’s walking and talking was initially delayed, but after intense therapy he showed explosive language skills by age 8.

“He would charm you completely if you met him,” Eichenholz says. “What the doctor (who diagnosed him) missed is his goodness and purity in his world.”

Worried about what would happen to his son in the future, Eichenholz began

“transitioning from a career of success” as a technology executive to “one of significance,” creating an extensive organizational structure for Jonathan’s Landing.

There’s a clear need. Not only has there been a national spike in children diagnosed with these neurological disabilities in the past 20 years, the CDC also estimates that Florida has the highest prevalence of autistic adults in the country, many of whom are unemployed and rely on parents and others for care. Moreover, the situation is expected to worsen.

“There’s a tsunami of kids coming out of the system, like Jonathan, who are aging out of vital services at age 21,” Eichenholz says. “We’re sleepwalking into this crisis, a crisis that Jonathan’s Landing seeks to address through providing equal pillars of ‘live’ and

‘work,’ from day one. Otherwise, you’re basically institutionalizing these kids,” he says.

In the coming months, Eichenholz and his small core team plan to launch a capital campaign to raise at least $75 million. The money will go to fund social programming and workforce development, seed money for the landing’s non-profit foundation and the early stages of housing development, once a suitable 50-acre site can be found. Although a tentative spot has been identified in East Orlando, Eichenholz says, it lacks sufficient transportation to the city’s urban core, a prerequisite for making residents of Jonathan’s Landing feel they are truly an inclusive part of the community in the future.

Not yet having a physical presence for Jonathan’s Landing has not deterred Eichenholz and his organizational team from actively pursuing partnerships and strategic alliances, which focus essentially on two career pathways, now under development. One involves cell phone and tablet repair, considered ideal, given many autistic individuals’ skill at repetitive tasks; the other is in the culinary and hospitality space, cooking

and preparing food. “Not everybody needs to live at Jonathan’s Landing, but they may need support on the work side,” Eichenholz says.

One organization, the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA), which represents the U.S. wireless communications industry and companies throughout the mobile ecosystem, has signed on to help within the last year. The trade group’s certification program, which fits the industry standard, will allow qualified residents at Jonathan’s Landing to earn income, with profits going back to ease their parents’ financial burden, while also providing each autistic adult a sense of self-worth.

alma mater, the University of Central Florida. He envisions a training center on the landing’s campus where about 50 students from UCF and other area schools will do internships in occupational and physical therapy, as well as behavioral sciences, earning college credits along the way.

As this ambitious project moves closer to completion, with the first beds expected within two to three years, a design plan by the Orlando design firm Baker Barrios is already in place and was donated for free. To Eichenholz, it’s just one example of how “we’re leveraging the whole community to circle around our kids.”

“THERE’S

A TSUNAMI OF KIDS COMING OUT OF THE SYSTEM, LIKE JONATHAN WHO ARE AGING OUT OF VITAL SERVICES AT AGE 21. JONATHAN’S LANDING SEEKS TO ADDRESS THAT CRISIS THROUGH PROVIDING EQUAL PILLARS OF ‘LIVE’ AND ‘WORK’ FROM DAY ONE ”

—JASON EICHENHOLZ

“It’s not just dropping off a phone as a consumer,” Eichenholz explains of this unique social entrepreneurship model. “We’ll get school districts or companies, like Disney, to have our kids fix their phones.”

Another initiative involves Eichenholz’s

As to his own role, Eichenholz readily admits he’s not an expert in autism. But he’s confident his business savvy over the years and, most importantly, as a father of an autistic child, he can help others ease the painful gap between their children’s “autism world and our own.”

Embark on a Lowcountry Odyssey

Discover Hilton Head Island through outdoor, wellness and culinary experiences. BY

LISA A. BEACH

TTHE FIRST TIME I visited Hilton Head Island, S.C., my husband and I had to abort our plans three days into the trip, thanks to Category 4 Hurricane Ian barreling toward Central Florida in 2022. We frantically drove home to prepare our house for the storm. But we vowed to go back for the full Lowcountry experience—and we finally made good on that promise last August.

Harness Hospitality on Hilton Head Island

Regularly snagging the “Best Island in the Continental U.S.” award by Travel + Leisure readers, Hilton Head Island beckons travelers seeking unspoiled beaches, natural beauty, top-notch golf courses and a smorgasbord of cultural venues, historical sites and outdoor experiences— all delivered with Southern hospitality. e South Carolina gem is less than a five-hour drive from Orlando.

Outdoor Experiences

As an environmentally conscious destination, Hilton Head Island abounds with opportunities to explore the outdoors, from nature trails to beaches to eco-tours. We spent several hours meandering through the Coastal Discovery Museum, a 68-acre campus in Honey Horn focusing on environmental preservation and education. Greet pipevine swallowtails and monarchs flying in the screened-in butterfly habitat. Get an up-close look at the “toothy” Venus flytrap. Walk the Oyster Alley Boardwalk for gorgeous salt marsh views, spotting crabs at low tide. On a hot day, escape to the air-conditioned museum for a stroll through 2,000 square feet of indoor environmental exhibits, with friendly docents ready to answer any questions.

Nature lovers will also enjoy the 50-acre Audubon Newhall Preserve at the south end of the island. With wide paths, trails, a

Witness the beauty of Hilton Head Island up close when exploring by bike.

boardwalk, benches and an observation deck overlooking the pond, the preserve provides plenty of opportunities for wildlife viewing and relaxation. Bring your binoculars and stop by at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesdays for a free guided tour led by a master birder, where you might see more than 140 bird species including roseate spoonbill, anhinga and osprey. Leashed dogs are welcome, too.

With 12 miles of pristine stretches of sand, Hilton Head Island beaches beg for barefoot exploration.

We chose the lovely Coligny Beach, which has free public parking accessible from Pope Avenue. This expansive beach provided the perfect place for a morning walk. While not crowded, the beach teemed with activity—pups splashing in the surf, kids building sandcastles and locals riding bikes along the shoreline.

History and Tradition

A must-see icon, Harbour Town Lighthouse beckons you to climb up the steps of this candy cane-striped structure, promising breathtaking views at the top. Along the way, learn about the island’s history through photos, exhibits, trivia and video clips. With a nominal fee of $7 per person (kids five and under are free), this landmark serves as a beacon of culture, history and maritime lore.

Whether you’ve come to Hilton Head Island for sporting excursions such as golf, sightseeing opportunities at the Harbour Town Lighthouse and marina, or are visiting Hilton Head Hilton for light, healthy cuisine along with a wellness program, there’s no shortage of engaging expeditions.

The nation’s first self-governed community of freed slaves established during the Civil War, Mitchellville Freedom Park offers both self-guided (free) and private (paid) tours. It’s part of the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network, and the park’s exhibits give you a glimpse of history from docking slave ships to the roots of the Reconstruction era.

Visit the Gullah Museum of Hilton Head Island or take the Gullah Heritage Trail Tours to learn about the enslaved West Africans and their descendants who have preserved their vibrant, distinct culture. The Gullah (aka Geechee) developed and preserved a unique language, traditional arts and rich culinary traditions that reflects their heritage.

Culinary Delights

A local staple since 1980, Skull Creek Boathouse sets you up for the perfect Lowcountry casual dining experience. This landmark waterfront restaurant—ideal for watching the sunset when you dine on the patio—serves up fresh-caught seafood, live music and friendly service. As a craft beer lover, I chose the SKB Great White ale to accompany my pecan-and-ginger-crusted mahi mahi, Savannah red rice and collard greens while sharing the seafood sampler

(scallops, shrimp and crab cakes) with my husband.

For a special meal, make reservations for fine dining at the iconic Quarterdeck, which is tucked into The Sea Pines Resort. With a wraparound deck and 270-degree views of Harbour Town Yacht Basin, Harbour Town Golf Links and Calibogue Sound, this seafood-focused eatery hits all the right coastal notes.

Top off your meals with a visit to one of the area’s breweries. One night we stopped at Hilton Head Brewing Co.—the island’s first brewery— and toasted the night with a Disraeli Beer (cream ale). Another time we sipped a Cross Island Crypto (Mexican lager) that we discovered at Side Hustle Brewing Co., located in the heart of The Bank, a bustling food hall.

Wellness Activities

With bike paths, walking trails, waterways and golf courses sprinkled throughout, Hilton Head Island bursts with outdoor wellness experiences. Take a bike ride to explore 60 miles of paved leisure pathways—including hard-packed beachfront at low tide. Paddle a kayak through the island’s pristine waterways and inlets. Hop on a horse for a Western-style trail ride through the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. Take an exhilarating zipline adventure over the coastal canopy. Book a skiff tour for an up-close look at dolphins and other sea life. Tee off on more than two dozen championship courses designed by golf legends such as Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

Hilton Head Health (left) offers dozens of daily activities that help you to meet your fitness goals. You can even enjoy a sumptuous meal here at the Chef’s Table demonstration (below).

While Hilton Head Island offers plenty of fitness opportunities, you can take a truly holistic approach by staying at a wellness-focused resort. On our initial visit, my husband and I stayed at a massive Airbnb for a mini-family reunion with our New Jersey relatives. But this time around, we stayed in the spectacular Hilton Head Health resort (also a T+L World’s Best award-winner).

A LOCAL STAPLE SINCE 1980, SKULL CREEK BOATHOUSE SETS YOU UP FOR THE PERFECT LOWCOUNTRY CASUAL DINING EXPERIENCE. ITS PATIO IS IDEAL FOR WATCHING THE SUNSET.

Designed to meet your specific wellness goals, Hilton Head Health boasts a well-rounded staff ranging from registered dieticians and fitness instructors to life coaches and chefs. The property walks the talk, from its smoke-free and sugar-free campus to its grab-and-go portion-controlled snacks to its slew of workshops, classes and cooking demonstrations. With dozens of activities on the daily calendar, we dove into some experiences together and some independently. I enjoyed the morning ritual stretching class, while my husband attended a workshop on upper body flexibility to help him increase mobility in his injured shoulder. We went on a bike ride together around the resort and its neighboring community and then sat in on a workshop about developing a fitness strategy. I quieted my mind in the soothing garden meditation class, while my husband got in a cardio workout on the treadmill. I indulged in a relaxation massage at the fabulous Indigo Spa. Then together, we savored the sumptuous Chef’s Table demonstration, where executive chef Thomas Carrig masterfully prepared an extravaganza of seared scallops, Mediterranean braised shrimp and calamari and seared Chilean sea bass.

Where local voices make a lasting impact.

AMore travelers are cruising now than ever before. Here’s why you should too.

By Jennifer McKee

ccording to the Cruise Lines International Association, cruising is the fastest-growing sector in tourism, with more than 31.5 million passengers sailing in 2023. This is higher than pre-pandemic numbers, with volume up 106% from 2019. And it isn’t just baby boomers who are cruising—more millennials and Gen-X travelers are cruising now than ever before; 75% of those who’ve never cruised before are open to a cruise vacation, and 87% of those who have cruised want to do it again. No matter what your age group, there are so many activities that you can cater them to your interests, making for an individualized cruise experience.

Never has that been the case more than on Royal Caribbean’s beautiful new behemoth, Icon of the Seas. Read on for all the stats and must-dos on Icon, get tips for smooth sailing and discover the best port cities to travel out of in the United States.

When Icon of the Seas set out for its inaugural voyage in January 2024, it became the world’s largest cruise ship. Icon is 1,198 feet long and has 20 decks, four

of those being luxe suite decks. The Suite Neighborhood, as it’s called, has a dedicated restaurant, Coastal Kitchen, with private views of the AquaDome (more on that later) and an exclusive multilevel sun suite deck—The Grove—with a private pool, whirlpool and bar.

Icon has 28 different room types, ranging from 157 square feet for an Interior Plus room to 2,523 square feet in the Ultimate Family Lofthouse, a three-level paradise with a multilevel slide, wraparound balcony with a whirlpool and dining area, karaoke room and more. It accommodates eight people and has a private entrance to the Surfside neighborhood.

Our stateroom had an ocean view balcony, and some of our favorite moments were spent

gazing out at the open sea while putting our feet up on the deck chairs’ ottomans. It’s the perfect spot to relax pre- or post-show, for a midnight snack and to watch air shows that are a precursor in arriving to port.

Icon has three resident production shows, and they’re all spectacular. The first time it’s been mounted at sea, “The Wizard of Oz” takes a fresh look at the classic tale of Dorothy, her friends and the Wicked Witch of the West. The movie is one of our favorites, so we had

Tips for First Time Cruisers

NEED-TO-KNOW SUGGESTIONS FROM ONE FIRST-TIME CRUISER TO ANOTHER.

CHECK YOUR PASSPORT’S EXPIRATION DATE. Most cruise ships won’t let you board if it’s not good for an additional six months after your cruise ends. Some cruises allow a driver’s license with a birth certificate, but a passport is preferred. Make sure you know before you go.

DOWNLOAD YOUR CRUISE LINE’S APP. It keeps everything you need in one handy spot, such as check-in, a health questionnaire, the day’s activities, etc. You can also schedule show and dinner reservations here.

BRING A MEDIUM-SIZED BACKPACK OR DUFFEL BAG FOR DISEMBARKATION DAY. If you have the porter transport your luggage to the terminal (we suggest you do), it’ll be picked up the night before you disembark. Thus, you’ll need a bag for your change of clothes, toiletries, etc., you’ll be transporting when you disembark.

IT’S ALSO HANDY TO HAVE A SMALL ORGANIZER BAG TO CARRY YOUR ESSENTIALS AROUND THE SHIP. Economize space by packing your organizer inside the medium-sized bag inside your luggage when you embark.

TAKE TIME TO RELAX! You may be tempted to squeeze in as many activities as you can, but running yourself ragged won’t do you any favors. We like to pick out one must-do activity each day and plan a leisurely schedule around it.

FIND THE BACK OF THE SHIP. Views are endless, and the decks at the back of the ship are usually less populated.

high expectations, and Icon’s production elevated it beyond our dreams. The story is vividly told through imaginative production design, with a series of vertical panels propelling the movement and creating a stage with no boundaries. If you can only make it to one show, “Wizard” should be it.

“Starburst: Elemental Beauty” is Icon’s ice show, and Royal Caribbean should be commended for creating such a fun, avant-garde piece. Using the Periodic Table of Elements as a jumping off point for an ice-skating extravaganza, “Starburst” thrills inside the largest ice-skating arena at sea.

Royal Caribbean is known for its aqua productions, and “Aqua Action!” is its most technologically advanced by far. Set inside the AquaDome, a full geodesic dome and perhaps Icon’s most recognizable design element, “Aqua Action!” features the tallest waterfall at sea and not one but two aerial artists who dance high above the audience.

"Action!" is the core of the AquaDome, where you will also discover the Overlook Bar and the Overlook Pods, both beautiful places to steal away to

And then there’s the food. More than two dozen dining concepts can be had on Icon, from fast casual to black-tie affairs. 425 chefs whip up these creations. Our hands-down favorite is Chops Grille; its hand-cut steaks are simply unforgettable. Linz Heritage Angus provided six “Iconic Cuts” exclusively for the steakhouse, and this is the portion of the menu on which you should center your attention. We can’t stop dreaming about the generous tomahawk—it was enough for a few meals—and the perfectly marbled wagyu filet mignon.

Next door, Izumi in the Park serves up flawless sushi and street foods from Japan, and you can dine indoors or get it to go from the all-day window.

Craving something sweet? Izumi’s ice cream cone is the ship’s most Instagrammable item, with Taiyaki vanilla ice cream served up in a bubble cone and drizzled with strawberry topping and rainbow sprinkles.

Chops Grille and Izumi are located inside Central Park, which is full of spots to drink, dine and play. Another standout here is Lou’s Jazz ‘n Blues, with delicious cocktails and a band you’ll want to listen to until the wee hours of the morning—we couldn’t tear ourselves away.

Keep the fun going in the colorful Surfside Eatery. It’s located inside an area specifically designed for families, but the engaging format and color scheme makes it fun for all ages. It’s also where you’ll find the carousel (do take a ride!), more ice cream, sweet shops and the back of the boat, just behind a kid’s splash pad.

For ’round the clock dining, head to the Pearl Café, where you can take in the sweeping views while dining on readymade toasted sandwiches, salads and sweets. One of our favorite sandwiches on board was the steak and egg on a crusty roll. It’s adjacent to The Pearl, an orb that supports three decks and has approximately 3,600 kinetic tiles—the best selfie spot on ship.

North America remains the largest source market for cruising, supplying half of the world’s cruise population. Three of the world’s busiest ports in 2023, ranked by passenger movement, are in Florida: Port Canaveral at No. 1, PortMiami at No. 2 and Port Everglades at No. 9 (according to the Cruise Line International Association). We take a detailed look at those ports here, in addition to seven other leading ports in the U.S.

Most ports offer on-site parking, which must be booked in advance. Taxis and ride shares are plentiful at these major ports; additional options are listed below. For those with limited mobility, the direct-to-curb options are best.

Being harried is one of the last things you want to be while on vacation, particularly on a cruise vacation, so we found it’s best to take a day or two on either side of your cruise to explore your port city. Ours was Miami. Whether you want high-energy, a relaxed patio or something in-between, you’ll fi nd that quintessential Miami vibe at all three of these restaurants.

KUBA CABANA

Known for its cabaret and salsa events, Kuba Cabana is lively in more ways than one. The expertly crafted menu is full of zest, from the Kubiche, its award-winning ceviche garnished with red onion and cilantro, to the Guava Pollo Barbacoa with spiced guava juice. Pair it with a side of Caramelized Sweet Plantains before you hit the dance fl oor and work off your meal. kubamiami.com

This delightful space, tucked into the middle of Mary Brickell Village, serves up modern European cuisine and some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. If we were relegated to drinking only the Key Lime Lover for the rest of our lives, so be it. The interior is beautiful, with colorful fl orals and clean lines, but you’ll want to sit on the patio to enjoy the gentle breezes and watch people streaming by.

Sustainability and Cruising

THE CRUISE INDUSTRY’S GOAL IS TO MAKE NET-ZERO CARBON CRUISING A REALITY BY 2050. A 2022 study by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) found that there will be 38 LNG-powered ships in service by 2028. This transitional fuel, liquefi ed natural gas, reduces greenhouse gases by 20%, promotes fuel effi ciency and makes for a quieter and smoother ride.

In addition, CLIA found that 15% of ships will have battery storage and/or fuel cells for hybrid power generation.

Royal Caribbean has even greater goals: it hopes to debut a net-zero cruise ship by 2035. Icon of the Seas is the line’s fi rst ship powered by LNG, and its dual-fuel engines work alongside an impressive array of energy effi ciency initiatives such as the fi rst waste-to-energy system at sea, an air lubrication system that reduces friction as the ship sails and a wastewater treatment system that treats every drop of water above regulatory standards.

Sustainable sourcing, water conservation and responsible tourism are also top of mind. Cruise lines are looking to organizations such as the Marine Stewardship Council and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council to source food responsibly, and ships can now produce 90% of their fresh water on board, thanks to high-tech systems. Shore excursions are getting away from coach tours and opting for walking, cycling, paddling or sailing experiences, helping to our reduce carbon footprint.

These are but a few of the initiatives in place today. There are also dedicated plans for ocean and marine life protection, such as coral reef restoration, the reduction of speed in sensitive areas, underwater noise and vibration reduction systems and partnerships with marine life protection organizations.

Discover idyllic destinations on the Space Coast.

With Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center in close proximity to Central Florida, Cocoa Beach is a great way to get lost in space. But it's also an excellent place to explore by land or by sea. With its consistent waves and shallow waters, Cocoa Beach is one of the world's best surfing destinations. The seafood is fresh. Sunrises and sunsets are mesmerizing. And the hospitality of the local hotels and resorts is comforting.

One of the better options— especially for families—is the Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort. Whether you want to take a relaxing dip in the pool or venture into the kid-friendly confines of a water park, the resort offers a wonderful getaway experience.

"Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort is just about an hour outside of Orlando. This makes the area and our resort a wonderfully convenient option as your downtime destination to recharge on the relaxing beach after visiting Florida’s famous theme parks," says Jorge Rodriguez, general manager at Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort.

"Beyond the Cape and surfing environment, Cocoa Beach has a unique and diverse array of experiences true to the authentic Florida lifestyle,

all while catering to various interests," he adds.

The suites feature a master bedroom with king beds, two twin beds in the second bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living area.

The water park has a pool, lazy river and a splash pad. The lazy river encompasses a 335-foot loop at a maximum depth of three feet, allowing kids and those young at heart to meander through a tropical landscape.

You can get the best of both worlds here. Visiting in conjunction with a rocket launch? Just step outside your room, grab a drink from the Aloha Tiki Bar and walk a few steps to watch the space flight.

"Simply look up to watch as a rocket travels 47,000-plus mph right before your eyes, leaving a trail of fiery orange to tell the tale," says Rodriguez.

Westgate has partnered with the Visit Space Coast team to provide guests with additional welcome amenities and private transportation to tour the Kennedy Space Center Visitor

Complex, located just 12 miles north of the resort.

If the beach vibe is more your style, head on over to Westgate's exclusive private beach at the Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier.

The pier is just a three-minute drive away and is considered a historic landmark. It has been a local favorite for more than 50 years and underwent a $3 million renovation in 2023. Upgrades include a new souvenir shop, upscale waterfront dining with a sushi bar, customizable grab-and-go options and a new daiquiri bar. Get your Kelly Slater vibe on at the Cocoa Beach Surf School by Flohana. Experienced instructors are available 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for lessons.

You might eventually carve out your name in the "East Coast Surfing Capital," which has featured a contingent of legendary surfers—Todd Holland, Gary Propper, Dick Catri, Claude Codgen, Mike Tabeling, Bob Freeman, Bruce Valuzzi, Jack "Murph the Surf" Murphy and, of course, Slater,

an 11-time world champion. Back on land, the dining options are plentiful and yummy. A few places we recommend: Kick-start the day at The Surfinista (86 N. Orlando Ave.) The menu leans toward the organic, gluten free and vegan side, but the flavors will appeal to most palates.The Avo Toast comes prepared in different ways. One of the favorites is The Blue Crush, organic multi-grain bread filled with crushed avocado and topped with blueberries, goat cheese and drizzled with honey.

Favorites at the Cocoa Beach Fish Camp Grill (5602 N. Atlantic Ave.) include Beer Can Chicken and Fried Gator Bites. There are live bands and line dancing on selected nights.

Want to get fancy and creative? Known for its contemporary cuisine, The Pompano Grill (110 N. Brevard Ave.) has a splendid reputation for upscale dining. The Grouper and the Lobster Deviled Eggs are among customer favorites on the expansive menu. The most eclectic offering may be the Psychedelic Phish Burger; the burger blends cobia, Scottish salmon and roasted cremini mushrooms and is served with Sesame Fries.

2024 BEST LAWYERS®

When you need an attorney, you want someone with a strong reputation and a proven track record. The annual Best Lawyers® list provides the names of Orlando-area attorneys recommended by their colleagues. A national attorney evaluation firm, Best Lawyers, conducted an extensive peer-review survey asking established local lawyers to name top practitioners in their particular fields. The 2024 list contains more than 800 lawyers. They are listed alphabetically by specialty area.

PHOTOGRAPHED BY ROBERTO GONZALEZ AT THE ORANGE COUNTY REGIONAL HISTORY CENTER

Methodology for The Best Lawyers®

This list is excerpted from the 2024 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch ® in America, the pre-eminent referral guides to the legal profession in the United States. Published since 1983, Best Lawyers® lists attorneys in 150 specialties, representing all 50 states, who have been chosen through an exhaustive survey in which thousands of the nation’s top lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America is based on more than 13.7 million evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The method used to compile Best Lawyers remains unchanged since the first edition was compiled more than 40 years ago. Lawyers are chosen for inclusion based solely on the vote of their peers. Listings cannot be bought, and no purchase is required to be included. In this regard, Best Lawyers remains the gold standard of reliability and integrity in lawyer ratings.

The nomination pool for the 2024 edition consisted of all lawyers whose names appeared in the previous edition of Best Lawyers, lawyers who were nominated since the previous survey and new nominees solicited from listed attorneys. In general, lawyers were asked to vote only on nominees in their own specialty in their own jurisdiction. Lawyers in closely related specialties were asked to vote across specialties, as were lawyers in smaller jurisdictions. Where specialties are national or international in nature, lawyers were asked to vote nationally as well as locally. Voting lawyers were also given an opportunity to offer more detailed comments on nominees. Each year, half of the voting pool receives fax or email ballots; the other half is polled by phone.

Voting lawyers were provided this general guideline for determining if a nominee should be listed among “the best”: “If you had a close friend or relative who needed a real estate lawyer (for example), and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?” All votes and comments were solicited with a guarantee of confidentiality—a critical factor in the viability and validity of Best Lawyers’ surveys. To ensure the rigor of the selection process, lawyers were urged to use only their highest standards when voting and to evaluate each nominee based only on his or her individual merits. The additional comments were used to make more accurate comparisons between voting patterns and weight votes accordingly. Best Lawyers uses various methodological tools to identify and correct for anomalies in both the nomination and voting process. Ultimately, of course, a lawyer’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow attorneys. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, the breadth of the survey, the candor of the respondents and the sophistication of the polling methodology largely correct for any biases.

For all these reasons, Best Lawyers lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful guide to the best lawyers in the United States available anywhere.

Hollifield Legal Centre

Travis Hollifield

MISSION STATEMENT: For over 27 years, the Centre’s mission has been to champion the legal, social and economic rights of women by providing thoughtful advice and representation in all Florida state and federal courts of law. FOCUS: Mr. Hollifield focuses on women’s workplace legal needs, including litigation of sexual harassment, sexual battery, pregnancy discrimination, retaliation, FMLA and non-compete claims, and workplace lactation and pumping issues. EDUCATION/CERTIFICATIONS: Mr. Hollifield is a graduate of the University of Central Florida and received his law degree from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. He is a Middle District of Florida (federal) and Florida Supreme Court (state) Certified Circuit Civil and Appellate Mediator who mediates primarily in the areas of employment, intellectual property, and business law. PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS/AFFILIATIONS: Mr. Hollifield is actively involved in the Florida chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association, the Federal Bar Association, and the Orange County Bar Association Labor & Employment Law and

Alternative Dispute Resolution Committees. As a former broadcaster prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Hollifield was a proud card-carrying member of the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (AFTRA) union and today represents working women in that profession and many others. FREE ADVICE: Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself and your rights. Too often, women suffer in silence when confronted with harassing, discriminatory, or retaliatory behavior at work. Many times, workplace problems can be resolved with the help of experienced counsel and without resorting to litigation. If you feel you are being harassed, discriminated against, or retaliated against, seek counsel before you complain or object to your employer. Learning about the best way to articulate an objection may be the difference between a successful outcome of a work dispute and one that is less desirable.

CULINARY

Brendan O’Connor takes a look at the popular chefdriven experience, and new additions to the 2024 Michelin guide.

Orlando + Omakase = Michelin

The City Beautiful’s newest Asian concepts are already garnering praise.

BY BRENDAN O’CONNOR

French tire manufacturer, Michelin, brought its popular series of restaurant guides to Florida for the first time in November 2021, at the behest of Visit Florida—which seduced (paid) the company to come to the Sunshine State (or rather Tampa, Orlando and Miami metro areas) for an estimated $800,000.

EEACH YEAR, MICHELIN adds a new cohort of restaurants to the ever-growing list, and they recently made headlines for the release of the 2024 additions, which only included five Orlando restaurants. And from what I saw, it’s very clear that Michelin loves the recent omakase wave that Orlando has been riding.

Zaru

A new Japanese udon shop that opened in August 2023, Zaru is a 25-seat dining concept located in the under-redevelopment Tien Hung Market in the Mills 50 District at 1114 E. Colonial Drive. It’s a new effort by James Beard-recognized restaurateurs Jimmy and Johnny Tung.

“We wanted to carry on the

500-year-old noodle-making tradition,” says Johnny Tung. “Traveling throughout Japan earlier this year, I loved how the udon tasted there, and wanted to bring that experience back to Florida. We’re sourcing premium udon flour and working with a local Japanese company for custom equipment from the Kagawa region.”

Michelin-recognized chef Michael Collantes of Soseki in Winter Park, an incredible chef-driven omakase concept that’s dripping in awards and recognition.

Temaki sushi is also known as hand roll sushi in Japan and is made by wrapping a thin seaweed sheet (nori) around a curated assortment of proteins, rice and veggies.

Sushi Saint serves a curated menu of small bites and nori hand rolls alongside sake-based cocktails and in-house brewed craft beers in a fresh, intimate atmosphere. e beer comes from its partners at e Brew eory, which brews their beers out back and even helps with brewing for other local brands like Ivanhoe Park Brewing.

Rolls cost anywhere between $6 and $25 depending on the protein, which ranges from snow crab to Kobe beef. e product is something simple but beautiful to look at that really showcases the ingredients without being too precious or pretentious.

Natsu Omakase

Located at 777 N. Orange Ave. in Orlando’s North Quarter/ Uptown neighborhood, the restaurant got a nod for its 10seat dining room which hosts just two seatings each night. e dining room is a lesson in Scandinavian minimalism, with no real distractions to take your attention away from

Michelin gave Zaru a nod for its “upbeat playlist,” “attractive dining room” and its “chewy noodles” made with wheat sourced from Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture.

ey’re open daily for lunch and dinner but they don’t take reservations so your best bet to score a table is to get there a bit early. Obviously, the star of the show is the udon noodles, served both cold and hot, but don’t sleep on the miso-fried chicken or dumplings.

Sushi Saint

Parramore,

A new 12-seat temaki bar that opened in December 2023 on the edge of the Creative Village in Parramore, at 400 Pittman St., also made the list. is shouldn’t be a surprise since it’s owned by

Above and below: Sushi Saint, which opened in Parramore in 2023, is known for its temaki sushi, or hand rolls. The rolls are made by wrapping a thin seaweed sheet (nori) around proteins, rice and vegetables. Decadent protein choices include Kobe beef and snow crab.

the chef and their team while they prepare your meal.

Natsu serves multi-course dinners—and I must drive this home—that doesn’t mean like your granny’s three-course Thanksgiving free-for-all, I mean sometimes 15 or 16 courses of hand rolls, scallops and uni, and the one thing everyone keeps talking about at Natsu, the ice cream, which changes seasonally.

Camille

The French Vietnamese-inspired pop-up that started in the second-floor event kitchen space in East End Market before opening a fancy storefront at 4962 New Broad St. in Baldwin Park also scored a mention.

Chef Tung Phan’s sweet potato brioche with gold chocolate ice cream and Vietnamese coffee sauce got a special nod for excellence, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually got caught licking my plate last time to which chef Phan hollered, “Must be good!”

Camille’s gorgeous dining room is reminiscent of a set from some utopian garden planet in “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” You’d expect everyone to be wearing white robes and be hiding some secret man-eating computer somewhere, but it’s just a bunch of cute staff who love good food and beverage.

They have an eight-seat, intimate omakase counter where they host seasonal, multicourse dinners showcasing Phan’s trademark modern take on Vietnamese dishes but there are also seating options if you’d like to dine a la carte and order your own entrees. You may find yourself getting jealous of all the pretty little diorama-like plates hitting the omakase counter though.

Chuan Fu

A new concept by the owners of Chuan Lu Garden, opened in the former home of Orlando Meats (which was once a whole animal butcher shop and restaurant) at

Clockwise from top: Chuan Fu focuses on Szechuan-style family classics and opened at the former home of Orlando Meats last year. Natsu Omakase has a 10-seat dining room with just two seatings a night. French Vietnamese-inspired Camille serves Instagram-worthy cuisine.

1035 Orlando Ave., just on the edge of Maitland and Winter Park last year. And they use the massive space much more efficiently than their predecessors ever did.

The Szechuan-focused menu serves up family-style classics that will have you smiling through the sweat. And that’s because the chefs are from the Sichuan Province, and they know what’s up. Cuisine from that area of southwestern China is known for its incredibly bold flavors; it’s spicy, oily, peppery, and known for the numbing qualities of its peppercorns.

Some standouts for me have been the five-flavored eggplant, the slurp-it-up-into-your-face-hole Sichuan wontons and the

too-gorgeous-for-Instagram whole fish plate.

Michelin uses anonymous critics who are from the hospitality industry to rate new restaurants on five criteria; quality of products, the mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience, the harmony of flavors and the consistency between visits.

The critics—also known as inspectors—always pay for their meals in full to ensure independence.

The Wanderer

BY JENNIFER MCKEE

“WE HAVE SO MANY EXPECTATIONS ABOUT WHAT TRAVEL SHOULD LOOK LIKE, and who can do it. But so much of it does us a disservice,” says Beth Santos, founder and CEO of Wanderful, a global women’s travel community. Her debut book, “Wander Woman,” shines a light on the ideology of female travel, inspiring readers to look beyond conventional norms. “It’s not about how far you go or how many passport stamps you acquire. It’s about how willing you are to open yourself up to the world around you, and the people, places, stories and experiences you may have overlooked before. Being a real Wander Woman is about being a citizen of the world, about knowingly challenging ourselves to think and dig deeper, and to travel with our eyes wide open to our social and environmental impact.”
