» Orlando Museum of Art, De Groft family drop lawsuits over Basquiat scandal
The Orlando Museum of Art and the family of late former director Aaron De Groft have dropped lawsuits against each other after a years-long legal battle, an FBI seizure of forged artwork and De Groft’s death earlier this year. The museum said its dismissal ends all litigation between the museum and De Groft, who died Jan. 18. “The parties did not think it prudent or cost effective to continue with this litigation,” the statement reads. “It is OMA’s sincere hope that this step will allow OMA to continue forward with its mission in partnership with its valued constituencies.” The lawsuit closure punctuates a legal fight stemming from De Groft’s time as Orlando Museum of Art’s director and his introduction of a major exhibit he claimed consisted of lost paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
» Orlando Pulse nightclub memorial could finally be completed by end of 2027
The construction of a permanent memorial commemorating the survivors and victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre was delayed by the slow-moving, high-spending efforts of the now-dissolved nonprofit OnePulse Foundation, but city of Orlando officials expect their own memorial concept, designed with the input of affected survivors and family members, to be completed by the second half of 2027. Plans for what that would or could look like were unveiled publicly last week. The concept, to be built on the site of the former LGBTQ+ nightclub, features a survivor’s wall, water wall, visitors pavilion, and a rainbow prism structure that would light up at night. The mass shooting took the lives of 49 people, many of whom were LGBTQ+ and people of color. After the OnePulse foundation, a nonprofit founded by one of the former club owners, dissolved in disgrace last year, the city took on the responsibility for ensuring a permanent memorial (not just the interim memorial at the former club site) would be developed. A Pulse “tribute” is also in the works in Kissimmee, though Osceola County spokespeople are very insistent that this is not a memorial, but rather a commemorative structure.
» Security guards at SeaWorld reignite unionization effort
For the second time in five years, security guards at SeaWorld in Orlando have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to unionize with the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. The union also represents security at Disney World and the Kennedy Space Center. Filing a petition is a call for a union election, but the date for that is yet to be determined. SeaWorld is completely nonunion, unlike Disney, so if the union prevails it would be the very first at the aquatic theme park. Guards had also filed a petition for a union election back in 2020, but after SeaWorld furloughed, then decided not to hire back at least half of the guards involved in the unionization effort, guards reportedly voted 23 to 10 against the union.
» Florida Republicans file bills to make it harder for government workers to form unions
Building on an anti-union law that the state Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis approved in 2023, Florida state lawmakers have filed new legislation that would make it harder for local and state government workers to form unions and to keep the unions they already have alive. Based on public records Orlando Weekly obtained last year, it looks to be inspired by draft legislation that anti-union group the Freedom Foundation emailed directly to Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, in late 2023. Other anti-union groups affiliated with the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council and State Policy Network have pushed for similar policies in other states. The legislation proposed this year would, among other things, raise the bar for what it would take to prevail in union elections. It would also make it harder for unions that now have to recertify annually, under the 2023 law, to prevail. The 2023 law has already caused more than 68,000 public employees in Florida to lose their union representation and the rights and protections they were previously guaranteed through their union contracts. This appears to be the latest effort to truly decimate public sector unions — with GOP-friendly cop, firefighter and correctional officer unions exempted.
» DeSantis says Florida sheriffs’ deputies will carry out ‘street-level’ immigrant enforcement
Gov. Ron DeSantis traveled to Homestead last week to highlight agreements with the federal government, now signed by every county sheriff in Florida, allowing deputies to question people
about their immigration status while conducting routine police work. The agreements are part of ICE’s “task force model” program that DeSantis said would lead to “street-level” enforcement operations, adding that the plan calls for intensive training. The Obama administration discontinued the “task force model” of an agreement between local law enforcement and the feds in 2012 after a Department of Justice investigation found that an Arizona task force engaged in widespread racial profiling and discrimination against Latinos, costing taxpayers an estimated $314 million in legal damages. Local law enforcement and county jails in Florida already had other types of agreements with ICE that allowed them to hold people with immigration detainers already in custody. The Trump administration is considering detaining immigrants subject to deportation in the military facility where DeSantis held the press conference, according to the New York Times. DeSantis said he wasn’t aware of a plan to do that, but noted that the South Florida base offers easy access to the Americas.
» ‘A lot of possibilities’: DeSantis on whether First Lady will run for Florida governor
Gov. Ron DeSantis is still not ruling out another DeSantis seeking the governor’s mansion after being asked, again, last week about speculation the First Lady is gearing up to run in 2026. “I think there’s a lot of possibilities,” DeSantis said about Casey DeSantis running for governor against U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and entered the Republican primary earlier this week. Ron DeSantis will be term-limited from running for the office again in 2026. He discredited the former state lawmaker’s contributions to conservative initiatives. “Donald Trump has been in office for like five weeks. Why aren’t we working to make sure that his vision and the mandate is delivered for the people that voted for him?” DeSantis said, later noting the 2026 election is a “lifetime away.”

‘REBUILDING FROM ORLANDO OUT’
Orange County Dems talk FL-DOGE, immigrants’ rights and more at Orlando town hall ahead of Florida’s 2025 legislative session
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Orlando’s Grand Avenue Community Center, just southwest of downtown, saw a packed house last Wednesday night as more than 100 people gathered for a two-hour legislative town hall hosted by the Orange County Democrats.
In attendance at the town hall were Democratic state senators Carlos Guillermo Smith and Kristen Arrington alongside state representatives Anna V. Eskamani, Johanna Lopez Rita Harris, LaVon Bracy Davis and Leonard Spencer. All represent parts of Orange County and are preparing to head up to Tallahassee for the regular 2025 legislative session that began Tuesday, March 4. Lowering the cost of living (or raising wages), uplifting democracy, and defending marginalized communities from attacks coming from the Republican Party were among key issues discussed.
“We have people who are teachers who are not able to afford where they live. They’re working several jobs to make ends meet,” said Florida Rep. Rita Harris, a Democrat representing parts of Orange County south of Belle Isle and east of Lake Buena Vista.
“They are in charge of our future. They deserve better than that,” Harris argued. “We all deserve better than that.”
Florida Democrats are the minority party in the Florida Legislature, where Republicans outnumber them more than two to one. Orange County is a rare blue pocket in the Sunshine State, where nearly 40 percent of voters are registered Democrats, 27 percent are registered Republicans, and 30 percent of voters affiliate with no major party.
Florida has veered further right in recent years, with the state Republican Party now
enjoying a more than 1 million voter registration edge over the Democratic Party.
It’s an outcome Democratic party leaders attribute to laws that have disenfranchised voters, by, for instance, requiring voters to renew vote-by-mail requests each general election cycle.
Harris, who just won her second term in the Florida House, admitted their minority status in the state Legislature limits what they can realistically accomplish.
“We don’t get to decide what gets heard on committee agendas. We don’t get to decide what’s heard on the House floor,” she admitted. “So, ways that we fight back in that type of environment is, you know, filing amendments to some of the bills that come through to make them less harmful. We stand up and we grab the microphone whenever we can, all of us.”
Sen. Arrington, representing parts of south Orange and Osceola Counties, said Democrats have strategically filed a mix of “commonsense” legislation that they believe can garner bipartisan support, as well as “messaging” bills that they believe are important but are unlikely to pass with the current GOP supermajority.
“Some of the messaging stuff that we’re doing is giving women access to their reproductive rights,” said Arrington, referring in part to bills filed by Democrats that would repeal a Florida law that bans most abortions after six weeks’ gestation.
“We’re also working on a Medicare For All bill, literally changing some language on it right now, but that should be filed later this week.”
Medicare For All, a proposal for a single-payer healthcare system that would guarantee healthcare as a human right, regardless of ability to pay, is an effort that’s being led in part in Florida by medical students and providers.
Artenisa Kulla, a 26-year-old medical student at one of Florida’s public universities (she requested we not specify the school, since she’s not advocating on behalf of her university), is organizing with dozens of medical students across the state, in coalition with the group Medicare For All Florida, to push for this proposal.

Organized with the group Students For a National Health Program, Kulla is also advocating for a $35 cap on insulin costs in Florida and a task force to study the feasibility of a state-level universal healthcare system — an initiative that’s also been pushed in California and New York.
“I find myself in medical school and kind of on the front lines of just seeing the, I don’t know, the inefficiencies, the inequities, all of the ‘in’words that you can think of, as far as American healthcare system goes,” Kulla explained in an interview with Orlando Weekly. “The talking points that resonate, I think, are personal stories.”
Kulla’s father, a blue-collar construction worker and immigrant from Albania, didn’t have health insurance for a long time during her childhood, growing up on Florida’s Gulf Coast in St. Petersburg. Neither did her mom.
When Kulla was young, her dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Her family found a free medical clinic in order to get the diagnosis, “and then ended up with a bunch of medical bills after that,” she said.
“My dad made too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough that he could actually afford health insurance,” Kulla explained. Her dad’s economic potential, as a young man in his 30s at the time, was “destroyed” by his illness and his inability to afford care. Her family has faced medical debt, and her father was forced out of work for an entire year in order to receive cancer care and recover from his illness.
“I think it’s one of those things where I truly feel like most people want this, and it’s just a matter of who holds the power to actually enact the change,” said Kulla.
Responding to questions from attendees of the town hall Wednesday night, Democratic lawmakers also discussed immigration policy, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new DOGE-esque state task
“If we’re going to talk about government efficiency, and we want to welcome that conversation without sounding like we’re kissing up to Elon Musk, we need to talk about all those government inefficiencies that are happening right now with our taxpayer money in Florida [going to] unaccountable private schools through voucher programs,” said Smith.
Rep. Bracy Davis said if DeSantis truly wants to take an axe to wasteful government spending, she’s happy to help: “I have plenty of ideas on how to cut the fat.”
Tackling immigration policy
One audience member at the town hall also asked Democrats how they plan to protect immigrants who are being threatened by both state and federal policy proposals.
The Trump administration launched a mass deportation effort on day one of Trump’s presidency, initially purporting to target undocumented people with criminal histories, although reports have since emerged of people without histories of violent crime getting caught up in detention and deportation efforts, too.
‘Defense, defense, defense’
Eskamani said Democrats are committed to filing proposals to address issues that affect people across party lines, from housing affordability to property insurance reform, teacher pay, small business relief and privatization efforts in education.
But another key pillar of Democrats’ work in the state Legislature, she admitted, is “defense, defense, defense.”
“A bill was just filed to make it very difficult for there to ever be a ballot initiative process in Florida,” she said.“We’ve also had legislation filed attacking, once again, diversity, equity and inclusion — this time in medical school programs.”
Republicans have so far filed proposals that include: further weakening child labor protections for teenagers in the workforce; allowing employers to pay apprentices, interns and employees of other workplace programs less than minimum wage; banning local governments and public schools from displaying Black Lives Matter or Pride flags; banning guaranteed income programs; allowing college students to carry guns on campus; and more.
force, and other proposals they’ve filed for consideration during session that may or may garner the approval of their Republican colleagues — whose support they need to actually get any legislation through.
The inefficiency of DeSantis’ ‘government efficiency’
A recurring topic of discussion Wednesday was a recent proposal from DeSantis to create Florida’s own government efficiency task force, modeled after the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency.
The White House initiative — which is not an official government agency — heavily influenced by tech billionaire and Trump megadonor Elon Musk — though actually run by federal employee Amy Gleason as “acting administrator” — has caused widespread chaos and confusion since Trump took office. DOGE was created, purportedly, to weed out and cut “wasteful” spending by the federal government across various departments and agencies that oversee veterans services, housing assistance, energy policy, healthcare and more.
DeSantis recently said he wants the same for Florida.
“For too long, nobody has cared about the taxpayers, much less the next generation, who is ultimately going to have to pay for all of the mismanagement that we have seen over these many, many years,” DeSantis claimed at an appearance earlier this week in Tampa.
Democrats, however, question the sincerity of this proposal. Sen. Smith and Rep. Bracy Davis, for instance, pointed out the DeSantis administration’s own use of taxpayer money to, for instance, fly groups of migrants out of state, fight ballot initiatives, and pay for students of wealthy families to attend expensive private schools.
Florida lawmakers also convened in Tallahassee for not just one, but three special legislative sessions over the last month — on the taxpayers’ dime — to address immigration policy, repealing in-state tuition rates for undocumented students in Florida, and increasing criminal penalties specifically for undocumented people.
Sen. Smith described the affair and the resulting changes to law as “mean” and “petty.”
“Talking about government efficiency, [it] expanded the size of state government in Florida by creating a new immigration enforcement board and appropriating hundreds of millions of our dollars for state and local actors to do the immigration enforcement work of the federal government,” Smith chided. “We have to fight back against this.”
He said he and fellow Democrat Dotie Joseph in the Florida House will be proposing legislation to reestablish in-state tuition for undocumented students who have lived and attended school in Florida for years.
The proposal, he said, would also establish a 500-foot buffer prohibiting immigration enforcement from happening within 500 feet of a school or a religious institution, and that makes it easier for people without legal status to legally work in Florida.
“Let’s not forget, we can’t say that we are demanding lower prices and cheaper eggs and cheaper groceries, while also saying deport all the immigrants,” said Smith. “You can’t have it both ways. We can’t exploit immigrants for cheap labor, but we also cannot say that we want affordable prices while also saying we’re going to deport all of the immigrants who are working hard to provide fresh groceries and put food on our tables to make this economy thrive.”
Florida has the third-largest population of undocumented workers in the country, and one of the largest populations of immigrant workers of all legal statuses, period.
Democrats have filed bills that include: strengthening efforts to address notary fraud; legalizing abortion up to fetal viability; establishing statewide workplace guidelines to protect workers from extreme heat on the job; strengthening paid parental leave for state employees; and allowing for more flexibility in the allowed uses of tourist development tax (TDT) funds that local communities receive through a small tax on hotel stays.
Granted, only a very small percentage of bills that are actually filed by Florida legislators each year actually make it to the governor’s desk for final approval.
Last year, state lawmakers filed 1,902 bills, memorials or resolutions for consideration, including duplicate proposals filed by the House and Senate. DeSantis signed 299 of the measures into law and vetoed 14 bills.
Members of the public can show their support or opposition to bills by contacting their state representatives, their state senators, and members of the Florida Legislature who sit on the committees that each bill must go through before reaching the full House and Senate.
The Orange County Democrats also encouraged people to organize with an advocacy group like the Youth Action Fund or 50501 Orlando, and to call on Republican state legislators to similarly hold town hall meetings open to the public.
A few state Democrats on Wednesday declared, “It’s a great day to be a Democrat” — a claim that received mixed reactions from the crowd. Some people applauded or cheered, while others groaned or grunted.
Smith, for his part, tried to end the night on a bright note. “I’m hopeful that even though a lot of people call Florida a red state, we’re really just an under-organized, under-resourced blue state. And when we rebuild, what gives me hope is that we are rebuilding from Orlando out.”

Longtime local community advocate
Barbara Chandler launches Sounds of the World, a new series at Winter Park Playhouse showcasing underrepresented voices
February’s Black History celebrations may be over, but honoring artists of color can’t be confined to the shortest month of the year. That’s why I was excited to hear that Winter Park Playhouse is continuing the cultural conversation with a new quarterly cabaret in collaboration with Barbara Chandler, a longtime local community advocate.
Chandler recently spoke with me about the new Sounds of the World series — which launches Thursday, March 6, with internationally acclaimed chanteuse Mzuri Moyo Aimbaye and her musical trio performing Extraordinary Women and Their Music — as well as her decadeslong effort to give underrepresented voices a platform to be heard.
“My mother moved here, just like any other people who come to the States from the islands, trying to find a better way of life,” recalls Chandler, who was born in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, before arriving in Central Florida as a young girl in 1978.
Although she pursued a career in sales and marketing, she says, “Music has always been around in our family. My father was one of the first steel drum players in the Virgin Islands. So I grew up with music … it’s always been in me.”
Many years ago, that love of music led her to help out with a local art and music festival, which in turn launched her on a path of community advocacy that included 10 years as manager and cultural arts educator for the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in Winter Park. “The very first festival that I did, [I] saw there’s always going to
be a need for our local artisans to have a space to perform, to show their artwork.”
Chandler exited the Hannibal Square Heritage Center (which is overseen by Crealdé School of Art) late last year after being “wrongfully Terminated,” according to an unsigned open letter distributed via her email address. The Center is currently staffed by octogenarian chief historian Fairolyn Livingston and community historian Mary Daniels, whom Chandler calls “my mentors” and remains in touch with.
“The Hannibal Square community, as they say, will always be in my heart,” says Chandler, who continues to conduct her Explore Hannibal Square walking tours. She calls the Center “an authentic place that anybody in the community could pop in and they would be embraced,”and says her dismissal “was a bad look on the organization.”
However, Chandler credits letters of encouragement from community members with keeping her going, saying “I did not know what
can add to their résumé, [so] I appreciate the fact that in my relationships, I’m able to create opportunities.”
“Platforms like the Winter Park Playhouse, which is accessible, which is affordable, it allows us to showcase the talent and support it,” continues Chandler. “It’s not just having the access and the diversity, but it’s also using this as a platform to learn and grow [so] I really appreciate [Playhouse staff] for giving me this opportunity where I, too, get to learn. I feel that it is a symbiotic relationship, as I bring them talent that wouldn’t necessarily come to the Playhouse, perform at the Playhouse. I too, get to learn some things as well. So it’s a good fit.”
Chandler tapped Aimbaye for Sounds of the World’s debut after seeing a sample of her one-woman show about Fannie Lou Hamer, a pioneering African American voting rights activist.
“I was blown away,” says Chandler. “It was incredible. Her voice, her performance, the reenactment, really spoke to the importance of voting, bringing Fannie Hamer to life.” By paying tribute to Hamer and others worthy of remembrance during Women’s History Month, Extraordinary Women and Their Music aims to satisfy Chandler’s mission to make “edutainment” about cultural diversity. “You may not remember every single thing I say, but because I’m evoking an emotion, you will remember how it has made you feel.”
The Thursday show is already sold out, but you can find Chandler at the downtown public library on Saturday, March 29, for the unveiling of an exhibit of artifacts from four Central Florida African American communities. And keep an eye out for an announcement of her next quarterly cabaret at Winter Park Playhouse, which she hints may have a “Cowboy Carter” vibe.
to expect, but if anything that I can say about that situation, that support — it uplifted me.”
Sounds of the World sprouted from Sounds of Soul, a gospel music and storytelling show Chandler produced in 2023 for a seniors group.
“The response was so overwhelming to the performance on my way home, it kind of popped in my spirit to go and see Lisa [Melillo] and Heather [Alexander] and see if this is something you can do at the Playhouse,” says Chandler. That sold-out performance was followed by another with a Caribbean theme, prompting an invitation to present quarterly.
“This is really good for artists who would appreciate this type of exposure in a professional setting,” Chandler says. “Central Florida is full of a lot of local talent [but] they don’t belong to those actors guilds or those professional settings. This at least allows them to go into a professional platform, and then they get to perform, they get to be seen, and then it’s something that they
“I definitely want to do something around country music, because it has always been a part of the community,” she says. “I know that there’s an uptick, but there are people who’ve always appreciated it. So I’m looking at something maybe [with] country music, and the African Americans who have always enjoyed country music as a part of their culture.”
Despite current challenges to cultural diversity, Chandler remains positive by “staying as creative as possible, bringing these types of conversations to the forefront as an act of resistance,” she says. “In the Black community, we say right now, we are leaning on our ancestors. We are leaning on those who have been through this, [and] these are the acts of resistance that it is within my capability to continue to move forward.”
Finally, Chandler has faith in the next generation to move things forward, if only given the opportunity. “The younger people, they are ready for the baton to come to them, but they feel as though a lot of the elders are clenching their fists,” says Chandler.“These grass-roots organizations, they have their finger on the pulse; what they are seeking [is] space to do their community programming. … The younger people, they want in, and we’ve gotta get them in.”

72 new restaurants, bars and sweet shops to enjoy in Orlando this year
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Last year brought a foie-laden flood of fancy tasting menu restaurants to town, all jockeying for the Michelin Man’s attention. But this year will mark a return to relative normalcy, with some of our most notable restaurateurs (Jason and Sue Chin, Juan Rios and Team Market Group) as well as some of our most beloved chefs (Lewis Lin, Michael Collantes, William Shen and Pom Moongauklang) poised to diversify our variegated dining landscape even further.
In the case of the Chins, the James Beard-nominated couple will potentially open three new restaurant venues, though we can only talk about one. And in a case of, “What is this? 2015?,” new food halls from Apopka to I-Drive will vie for the bon vivant’s buck. And maybe — just maybe — H Mart will finally open. From live-fire cooking and tableside shabu-shabu to theme park eats and wine
bar sips, this list of new restaurant openings should stuff you to the hilt. If not, go for seconds.
Ace Cafe
A year after closing its garage doors in downtown Orlando, the biker bar/restaurant is being revived in the 73 Moto space in Sanford. Former Ace Cafe Orlando founder Steve Glum as well as 73 Moto and Henry’s Depot honcho Sean Kelley are behind the project. (Opening fall; 115 N. Laurel Ave., Sanford; instagram. com/acecafesanford)

in Mills 50. But expanding the concept that got him here will still be a focus when he opens his sixth Central Florida location of Agave Azul in O-Town West. Oh, and the local chain happens to be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Salud!
With two locations in Florida and one in Georgia, this burgeoning regional outfit plays up its over-the-top decor and classic Mex and Tex-Mex fare done right. The new building next to Ford’s Garage will feature a sizable covered patio and a tiki-inspired speakeasy. (Opening spring; 5365 Hamlin Groves Trail, Winter Garden; agavebandido.com)

Atlantic
Billed as an “undersea culinary fantasy reminiscent of an enormous Victorian aquarium,” the soon-to-open full-service resto inside Celestial Park (part of Universal Epic Universe) will offer seafood, steak and stylish cocktails.
The expansionist Miramar Beach-based chain specializing in the hot powdered-sugar-covered dough pillows will open locations in the old Downtown Credo space in the North Quarter and in the Super Target Plaza in Hunter’s Creek. Expect traditional and specialty beignets, smoothies, “power fizzies” and coffee to be served.
(Opening March; 2079 W. Town Center Blvd. and 885 N. Orange Ave.; beignetsandbrew.com)
Black Bean Deli
After encountering numerous delays, Andres Corton will finally bring his media mañanas, media noches, and perfectly porcine Cuban sandwiches, not to mention filling plates of shredded Havana pork and picadillo, to a character- and charm-filled space in the heart of Winter Garden.
(Opening August; 126 W. Plant St., Winter Garden; blackbeandeli.com)
Black Coffee/Cafe Negro Bistro
The Latin-ish concept by Univision personality Jose “El Negro” Figueroa serves breakfast, lunch and early-dinner fare, as well as weekend brunch, out of the old Winter Park Fish Co. space. The menu is overseen by Ángel Serrano, a fixture in Puerto Rico’s restaurant scene.
(Open; 761 N. Orange Ave., Winter Park; instagram.com/blackcoffeecafenegro)
The Blue Dragon Pan Asian Restaurant
The other full-service restaurant slated to open inside Celestial Park at Epic Universe will offer a bevy of pan-Asian eats (tonkotsu ramen, smashed cucumbers, snowflake potstickers) under the glow of “ethereal lanterns.” The restaurant’s Tiger Bar will play into the theme with such cocktails as “Chengdu Dream” and “Khaosan Boba.”
Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine, the ho-hum Peruvian restaurant, has rebranded as Cevi’ch Central, a place where “Peruvian tradition meets flavor and innovation.” Their ultimate goal: a Michelin star. Sigh.
(Open; 528 S. Park Ave., Winter Park; cevichcentral.restaurant)
Chubby Cattle
coming to Orlando, but where exactly has been the subject of great speculation. Yakiniku lovers will just have to salivate over the thought of tabletop grilling American, Australian and Japanese cuts of highly marbled beef. Seafood too.
(Opening 2025; location TBA; chubbycattle.com)
City Food Hall
The old Hall on the Yard building in Ivanhoe Village will reopen under new ownership as City Food Hall, featuring a new lineup of food vendors. Danilo’s Pasta Bar chef DJ Tagalin is joining forces with Soseki’s Michael Collantes on three concepts inside the two-story space: Chez Les Copains, a classic French brasserie which has already opened upstairs; Asin, a Filipino chef’s tasting counter; and a reboot of Collantes’ Taglish, but with a new Filipino menu overseen by Tagalin. Other soonto-open vendors include Ramen Takagi and egg sandwich outfit EggDose.
Chef William Shen (Sorekara, Zaru, UniGirl) is expanding his footprint inside Mills Market with this stall specializing in scratch-made Japanese curry plated with rice, veg and beef, particularly A4 and A5 Japanese wagyu, USDA Prime chuck and menchikatsu (wagyu trimmings).
(Opening March; 1110 E. Colonial Drive; instagram.com/cowboycurryfl)
Croissant Gourmet
Let the croissant wars begin and the midriffs of pastry lovers be fattened, thanks to another location of Croissant Gourmet, just down the road from Buttermilk Bakery, from owner François Cahagne and new chef-partner François Paille, former pastry chef at Norman’s, London House and Lake Nona Wave Hotel.
Mike Smith took over The Imperial in Sanford from John Washburn (who’s busy prepping the opening of The Imperial on Park) and will replace the cocktail bar with a raw bar serving everything from oysters and clams to tartares and ceviches. Beer and basic cocktails will also be served. Oh, and Smith will open yet another Current Seafood Counter, this one inside the Citgo gas station behind Juju at 3025 E. Colonial Drive, this spring.
(Opening spring; 116 E. First St., Sanford; thecurrentseafoodcounter.com)
Dick’s Last Resort
No, this isn’t a hole in the wall but a Southern comfort spot known for its purposely obnoxious service. Back in 2016, Dick’s abruptly closed its Orlando location, leaving restaurant workers in the lurch. Dick move. Now they’re coming back “bigger and better” to Pointe Orlando.
DZÔ! BBQ
Chi-Kin owner Hoi Nguyen took over the former Mongolorian space last summer with plans to open a Southeast Asian barbecue joint combining the best aspects of “real” South East Asian barbecue, from skewered meats to Vietnamese-style lemongrass spare ribs to Laotian sausage. While the menu is still in development, “small plates and shareables” is what they’re going for.
(Opening 2025; 2217 E. Colonial Drive; no website)
Eastwood
Work continues on what is arguably Team Market Group’s most ambitious venture. Now that Nuri’s Tavern has opened and June is on the verge of doing so, the 3,300-square-foot live-fire restaurant across the street from Plantees will be the group’s focus. TMG chefs Nick Grecco and Jason Campbell are promising meats, fish and veg fired over a custom wood-burning grill and large-scale smoker.
(Opening late 2025; 1024 N. Mills Ave.; instagram.com/eastwoodorlando)
Eola Food Hall
The 15,000-square-foot, two-story venue across the street from the Orlando Public Library will have 10 vendors, a full-service restaurant, a wine room/speakeasy and a cocktail bar, not to mention panoramic, floorto-ceiling views of Lake Eola Park. The official vendor lineup will be announced later this spring or early summer.
(Opening late 2025; 150 Central Blvd.; eolafoodhall.com)
Garni Café
The “uncomplicatedly French” restaurant is the latest addition to the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, which includes powerhouses Bacán and Nami. Executive chef Guillaume Robin presents such classics as coquilles St. Jacques, bouillabaisse, smoked beef bourguignon and profiteroles in a “botanical-inspired” dining room.
(Open; 6100 Wave Hotel Drive; garnicafelakenona.com)
Glass Knife
Let’s be honest, this chi-chi patisserie belongs on Park Avenue. Their pretty pastries, gateaux, cookies and doughnuts will no doubt be a popular draw when the bakery’s second location opens in the old Financier Bistro space.
(Opening July; 212 N. Park Ave., Winter Park; theglassknife.com)
A Gourmet Chinese Cuisine
The Mills 50 restaurant formerly known as Chuan Lu Garden will reopen later this month after an extensive floor-to-ceiling renovation. Gone is the space’s signature chinoiserie and in its place, a contemporary aesthetic and a new name. The stellar Sichuan cuisine, however, will remain.
H Mart
Orlandoans have been waiting a looong time for this New Jersey-based Korean grocery store to open its first Florida location and, by the looks of it, we’ll be waiting a little longer to peruse the aisles of 185,000-square-foot space. Among H Mart’s offerings are food vendors, of course: Some that have been announced include Eggcellent Sandwich & Coffee, Myung Ga Korean BBQ & Tofu Soup, Paik’s Noodle, Chidon Katsu Place, Oh K-Dog & Egg Toast, U Chun Korean Restaurant, Jaws Topokki and Kung Fu Tea.
(Opening late 2025; 7501 W. Colonial Drive; hmart.com)
Halls on 5th
The folks behind Apopka’s Propagate Social House acquired the 100-year-old Hall’s Feed Store building and will transform it into a multi-vendor space with craft cocktail bar, private dining experiences and outdoor seating. The hall’s anchor vendor will be a new concept from Thriving Hospitality (Thrive Cocktail Lounge, Bounce House, The Packwoods, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen). Other vendors include Soulicious Vegan Kitchen, Empanada & Co., Sweet & Salty, Butchers Nook, Parlor Kitchen and Parlor Waffle Kitchen.
(Opening March; 15 E. Fifth St., Apopka; hallson5th.com)
Haraz Coffee House
The Michigan-based Yemeni café will pour creative Eastern- and Western-style coffee beverages using beans picked from the mountainous region of Jabal Haraz.
(Opening spring; 1737 N. Alafaya Trail; harazcoffeehouse.com)
Heatwave
An LGBTQ-friendly restaurant concept will open where another iconic LGBTQ-friendly establishment — Stonewall — once stood. Heatwave will feature three interconnected spaces: a café, restaurant and hybrid theater-lounge.
(Opening spring; 741 W. Church St.; heatwaveorl.com)
Hikiniku To Sumi
Lewis Lin will introduce Japanese Hamburg steaks, or hambagu, in this lunchtime subconcept at Juju’s kappo bar. Ground Japanese wagyu (procured from Palm Beach Meats) will be grilled over binchotan coals and served over steamed koshi-hikari rice made in a traditional clay donabe pot.
(Opening spring; 9101 International Drive; dickslastresort.com)
(Opening March; 1011 E. Colonial Drive; chuanlugardenfl.com)
If you’ve sunk your teeth into Jimmy Nguyen’s and Chau Vo’s KFC with gochujang, nori, scallions and a creamy slaw served from their food truck, then you’ll likely make a beeline to Sanford baoery in the old Moon’s Subs
[continued from page 19]
space. BTW: Their steamed buns are handmade in small batches using all-natural ingredients free of preservatives.
(Open; 204 S. Sanford Ave., Sanford; instagram. com/hot_asian_buns)
Hot As Rice Japanese Kitchen
A Japanese teppanyaki concept akin to the wildly popular Pepper Lunch (which is also slated to open this year) will tender their do-it-yourself dishes on the site of the now-demolished 7-Eleven near the intersection of Mills Avenue and Colonial Drive.
(Opening fall; 729 N. Mills Ave.; instagram.com/ hotasriceorlando)
The Imperial on Park
John Washburn may have sold The Imperial in Sanford but, after snagging the old Parkview space, he’s gained a presence on desirable Park Avenue. Business partner Drew Weisner, who also served as the executive chef of Dexter’s Thornton Park back in the day, is developing the menu for a space that now has a hood system in place.
(Opening March, 136 S. Park Ave., Winter Park, imperialwinebar.com)
Jabal Coffee House
Like Haraz Coffee House, Jabal will feature luxe environs and premium Yemeni coffee sourced from the mountainous region of Jabal Haraz. Light, medium and dark roasts flavored with spices like cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and ginger will be the specialty.
(Opening April; 8335 S. John Young Parkway; jabalcoffeehouse.com)
June
A restaurant specializing in the cuisine of the Yucatán Peninsula accented with Asian influences will open in the old Graffiti Junktion space in Thornton Park. The new venture from Team Market Group will celebrate “clean and simple” flavors in their sashimi, aguachiles, ceviches, tamales, rice dishes and proteins.
(Opening May; 700 E. Washington St.; juneorlando.com)
Leiah
Billed as a “chef driven home-style kitchen that makes perfect symphony with the most luxurious elements of land and sea,” the downtown restaurant on the ground floor of the Hilton Garden Inn is fronted by chef Omar Torres, who will also offer a chef’s tasting experience on Fridays and Saturdays.
(Open; 409 N. Magnolia Ave.; leiahrestaurant.com)
Lorelei Wine Bar
This venture by Arthur Boothe and Julian Burgos of Death in the Afternoon and Suffering Bastard fame promises “fun and delicious” varietals served in environs curated by GDP Designbuild. The wine bar is named after the German siren of lore so, yes, German wines will be served, as will a menu of sharable
plates by chef Eric Norvelus.
(Opening April; 737 N. Thornton Ave.; instagram.com/loreleionthornton)
Luminescent
The high-end coffee and cocktail bar will distinguish itself with an interior employing an ever-changing lighting scheme and a menu of Indian street eats.
(Opening summer; 12286 E. Colonial Drive; instagram.com/luminescent.orlando)
Mao Mao
Lewis Lin’s handroll concept set to move into the space next door to Susuru is still a go. Mao Mao will be similar in style to Mari in Hell’s Kitchen and will offer handrolls with “fun” Japanese toppings and high-quality fish from a 12-seat bar.
(Opening late 2025; 8546 Palm Parkway; no website)
Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House
From the same folks behind Chubby Cattle, this AYCE wagyu shabu-shabu concept is slated to open next to Maggiano’s in Pointe Orlando. Premium ingredients and an umami-rich broth will make for a luxe experience.
(Opening 2025; 9101 International Drive; mikiyashabu.com)
Mosonori
The handroll bar by four-time James Beard Award nominee Henry Moso will very likely wow the Dr. Phillips set, just as Mosonori on Orlando Avenue did the Winter Park crowd. The old Steak on Fire space is designed by the same firm (GDP Designbuild) and the cylindrical rolls will utilize the same premium nori Moso sources from a small processor in Fukuoka.
(Opening April; 7541 Sand Lake Road; mosonori.com)
Nabe
Lewis Lin, along with investor partners Khoa Nguyen and Keren Swanson, opened this 100-seater specializing in wagyu shabu-shabu next door to Peperoncino in the Dellagio Town Center. In addition to slices of highly marbled Japanese beef and umami-rich broth, Nabe offers premium seafood as well as cocktails and a sake program. Pop by Nola’s Ice Cream, situated in the same space, on your way out.
(Opening March; 7988 Via Dellagio Way; nabeorl.com)
Naya Comida + Barrita
Agave Azul’s Juan Rios will anchor the Trelago Market in Maitland with this contemporary Mexican wood-fire concept. The menu will be centered around three elements dating to pre-Hispanic times — wood fire, nixtamal and mezcal. Naya will be inspired by the Pacific coast of Riviera Nayarit, featuring handcrafted tortillas using organic masa imported from Mexico along with mezcal and tequila-centric cocktails.
Moving into the old World Famous House of Mac space in SoDo is this burgeoning chain, which started out as a food truck in Queens, NY. The restaurant will offer a variety of meats (lamb, chicken, fish, kofta and chapli kebab) served over rice as well as gyros, wings, burgers, cheesesteaks and more.
(Opening March; 2435 S. Orange Ave.; nazshalal.com)
Noir Bar
The North Quarter has long been in need of a top-shelf bar, and the sister op to Talay next door will do just that in the form of Thaiinspired cocktails, tapas and a lush, moody vibe.
(Opening March; 861 N. Orange Ave.; instagram.com/noirbarorlando)
Nola’s Ice Cream
Marie Mercado of the Greenery Creamery and Sampaguita Ice Cream teamed up with investor partners Khoa Nguyen and Keren Swanson to open this sweet treatery specializing in, hold on to your cholesterol pills, fried doughnut ice cream sandwiches. The shop also offers classic ice cream scoops with plenty of Asian inspiration, sundaes and floats. It’s also situated in the same space as Lewis Lin’s shabu-shabu concept Nabe.
(Open; 7988 Via Dellagio Way; instagram.com/ nolasicecream)
Nuri’s Tavern
Tavern-style pizza has come to the downtown core courtesy of Team Market Group, who made over their own Robinson Coffee Room space as Nuri’s Tavern. Tavern-style pies, noted for their thin, crackly crusts, are offered here in 12-inch rounds that are “party-cut” so that guests can have a beer in one hand and a square in the other without having to put either down.
(Open; 63 E. Pine St.; nuristavern.com)
Oak & Stone
The beer and pizza tavern by Artistry Restaurants will join sister restos Boca, Atlantic Beer & Oyster, and The Chapman on Park Avenue later this year. Oak & Stone will move into the 310 Park South space and feature stonefired pies as well as an expansive self-serve beer wall very much like the restaurant’s seven other locations on the Gulf Coast.
(Opening late 2025; 310 S. Park Ave., Winter Park; oakandstone.com)
Okonomi
It’ll be another busy year for William Shen, who’ll open Japanese curry concept Cowboy Curry inside Mills Market as well as Okonomi, a casual sushi concept with a refined presentation of (mainly) nigiri.
(Opening May; 1110 E. Colonial Drive; instagram.com/okonomifl)
The Original Rainbow Cone
The 100-year-old Chicago institution will
open an outpost inside the Waterford Lakes Town Center. The star, of course, is the five-layer cone featuring chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House (vanilla with cherries and walnuts) and pistachio ice cream topped with orange sherbet.
(Opening March; 461 N. Alafaya Trail; rainbowcone.com)
Outpost Neighborhood Tavern
The new venture by Devon Tillman (former owner of Island Time/The Garden Bistro in Thornton Park) and John Teixeira (owner/commissioner of OUT Sports League) will bring an American-inspired menu as well as, Holy DeSantis!, a weekly drag brunch. And, no, this Outpost has absolutely no affiliation to the Outpost Neighborhood Kitchen, which shuttered under dubious circumstances last year at the Maitland City Centre. Might be a good idea to consider a name change regardless.
(Opening spring; 227 N. Eola Drive; instagram. com/outpostorl)
Oza Kai
Tim Liu, the man behind neighborhood joints Mikado Sushi in MetroWest, Boku Sushi in Maitland and Oza Izakaya in Williamsburg, will bring Oza Kai to the heart of Mills 50. The restaurant will house a 10-seat sushi bar where omakases will be presented by a chef Liu is bringing in from Japan. The 120-seat restaurant will also offer a menu of less formal Japanese fare that will be served in what Liu describes as three “modern tatami rooms” as well as a sunroom and an outdoor lounge.
(Opening spring; 1821 E. Colonial Drive; ozaizakaya.com)
The Packwoods
The craft cocktail bar from Thriving Hospitality (Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen, Thrive Cocktail Lounge & Eatery) joins Wave Asian Bistro, Pizza Bruno and Foxtail Coffee, the food vendors inside the Maitland Social. Their 1,400-square-foot space focuses only on cocktails — food isn’t served.
(Open, 360 E. Horatio Ave., Maitland, thrivinghospitalityent.com)
Parliament on Pine
The former home of CityArts Factory and Sak Comedy Lab will soon be home to a new version of the iconic Parliament House, with another local icon — Pom Moongauklang of Pom Pom’s Sandwiches — handling the food program at the two-story venue. Moongauklang will also take charge of culinary ops at Parliament House Ivanhoe, in the old M Lounge space at 2000 N. Orange Avenue.
(Opening 2025; 29 S. Orange Ave.; instagram. com/parliament_house)
Pepper Lunch
Guests will sear their own meats and veg at this popular Japanese DIY teppanyaki chain.

Just when and where exactly, we don’t yet know. (Opening 2025; location TBD; pepperlunchrestaurants.com)
Perla’s Pizza
Chef Michael Collantes will resuscitate his pie concept just two doors down from his other concepts, Soseki and Bar Kada. The space, previously home to the Winter Park Collective and the Wine Barn before that, is being completely gutted to make way for ovens that will fire, as Collantes says, “Florida Man pizza.” Perla’s will develop a cocktail program to complement those rounds.
(Opening spring; 959 W. Fairbanks Ave. Winter Park; instagram.com/perlaspizza)
Pig Floyd’s Winter Park
Thomas Ward has been hard at work (almost four years!) gutting the old Bubbalou’s building, and construction is finally nearing completion. Traffic is steady on Lee Road so, thankfully, the new location will have a drive-thru.
(Opening spring, 1471 Lee Road, Winter Park, pigfloyds.com)
Pisco Peruvian Gastrobar
Like the original Lake Nona location, Pisco in Lake Mary offers an indulgent ambience, bespoke cocktails and some of the best anticuchos and ceviches in town.
(Open; 3801 W. Lake Mary Blvd., Lake Mary; piscoperuviangastrobar.com)
Pom Pom’s Sandwiches
Four months after closing her Milk District mainstay, Pom Moongauklang up and announced that she was partnering with Vinnie Nguyen and reopening Pom Pom’s (sans teahouse) in the old Salvatore’s stall inside Henry’s Depot. Expect old faves, like the Fu Manchu with Asian pulled pork and ginger-cranberry chutney and the Big Daddy with turkey, ham and roast beef. Pop-ups will be staged in March prior to the April opening.
(Opening April; 212 W. First St., Sanford; instagram.com/pompomsteahouse)
The Rev
The concept, by Santiago’s Bodega owner Jason Dugan, was announced more than four years ago as Ramen Revolution. The name has since been truncated, but you won’t be sold short on chef Jose Hernandez’s menu of ramen, seafood and oysters.
(Open; 728 Virginia Drive; instagram.com/ therevorlando)
Schmankerl Stub’n
Daniel Gabor shuttered his modern German restaurant on South Orange Avenue with the intent to relocate, as he put it, “anywhere but downtown.” That location hasn’t been announced as yet, but we’re sure to see the talented chef whipping up his scratch-made German classics and modern dishes sometime this year.
From the folks behind Chiffon Culture Bakery Café comes this eatery that will serve hot sandwiches and hot meals crafted with shokupan milk toast, as well as a variety of house-made croissants and baked goods, out of the old Hangry Dobo space.
Winter Park’s less glamorous side will get an injection of glamour when Soni’s reopens with a revamped interior and revamped menu. Fret not: The chi-chi cakes and cupcakes will remain. (Open; 1502 N. Semoran Blvd., Winter Park; instagram.com/sonisbakeryfl)
Sparrow
A wine bar and lounge by Good Salt Restaurant Group’s Jason and Sue Chin, overseen by Reyes Mezcaleria executive chef/ partner Wendy Lopez, will lend Southern Euro vibes to the North Quarter this spring. The cozy 1,978-square-foot space that sits about 100 feet away from Reyes will incorporate a warm and inviting backdrop for Lopez to serve a creative, and eclectic, tapas menu.
(Opening April; 807 N. Orange Ave.; sparroworlando.com)
Star Gyros and Grill
This Turkish restaurant replaced another Turkish restaurant, Cappadocia Turkish Cuisine, but the offerings — aside from the addition of pizza and burgers — are much the same. And the lavash is just as poofy.
A Travelodge by Wyndham is being transformed into a multi-level food hall fashioned from shipping containers. The compound will feature 14 separate food vendors, a rooftop bar and an exhibition kitchen.
(Opening late 2025; 7200 International Drive; no website)
Taco’s Lab
Not to be confused with Taco Labs (the Boca Raton-based chain of taquerias), Taco’s Lab will open in the old King Bao space promising a “full-blown flavor experiment engineered to blow your mind” and “taco insanity.” Their tacos de comal will be crafted from handmade tortillas using nixtamalized blue corn and other specialty varieties.
(Opening spring; 1881 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park; instagram.com/tacoslab.co)
Talay
Owned by the same folks who run the highly lauded Isan Zaap, Talay offers a menu of refined, gorgeously plated, seafood-leaning Thai fare
from an equally gorgeous space. Hard to believe this was once City Pub. Enjoy pre- or post-meal cocktails at sister op Noir Bar next door.
(Open; 861 N. Orange Ave.; talayorlando. com)
Tamale Co. Modern Kitchen & Bar
The space recently vacated by Mid Drive Dive will soon see hand-crafted tamales and Mexican street fare courtesy of Tamale Co. owners Fernando and Jennifer Tamayo. A full bar with a full beverage program (tequila and mezcal will feature prominently) will also be offered just in time for Cinco de Mayo.
(Opening May; 2401 Edgewater Drive; tamaleco.com)
TK Coffee & Donuts
The Longwood sweet shop next to Ali Baba serves handcrafted doughnuts in such flavors as strawberry shortcake, creme brûlée and honey-coconut coffee. Boba, and breakfast items like sausage rolls and croissant rolls, are also a draw.
(Open; 1155 W. State Road 434, Longwood; instagram.com/tkcoffeedonuts_fl)
Tropixs Lounge & Eatery
This ambitious venture from Negril Jamaican Restaurant chef/owner Steve Myers will lend downtown an upscale island vibe. The restaurant buildout inside the old TD Bank space within the historic Metcalf Building should prove challenging.
(Opening late 2025; 100 S. Orange Ave.; instagram.com/tropixslounge)
Turci Osteria Italiana
Vinicius Turci of Turci Panino, Turci Pasta and Luca Turci Italian Restaurant will open a fourth concept, Turci Osteria Italiana, in the former Midici space at Maitland City Centre — once he clears all the permitting hurdles.
(Opening fall; 171 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; instagram.com/turciosteria)
Unnamed Restaurant by Juan Rios
The Mexican restaurant by Agave Azul honcho Juan Rios moving into the Armstrong Lock building and inspired by the jungles of Tulum and the Riviera Maya had a name (B’alam Maiz y Agave), but Rios will be changing the name prior to its opening. The seafood-leaning restaurant will also feature plenty of live-fire cooking, not to mention house-made corn tortillas and an extensive tequila list.
(Opening late 2025; 1120 N. Mills Ave.; no website)
Unnamed Restaurant by Pom Moongauklang
The space that long housed Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria will receive a complete refresh and a new concept by the versatile chef. Moongauklang says that the restaurant will see her “put on her chef coat” and add some “molecular touches” to the dishes she presents. Tasting menu? Probably.
(Opening fall; 67 N. Bumby Ave.; no website)
The Yardery
The family-friendly, 5,400-square-foot restaurant will feature the only rooftop bar in Lake County, along with 11,000 square feet of yard and patio space for games and activities.
(Opening March; 221 N. Baker St., Mount Dora; theyardery.com)
Zen Dumpling
The Jacksonville-based restaurant specializing in soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, fluffy pan-fried bao and boba tea is already wowing patrons at their just-opened Waterford Lakes location. They’ll wow even more when a second location at 420 E. Altamonte Drive in the old Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza spot opens this summer.
(Open; 423 N. Alafaya Trail; zendumplings.com)
2026 AND BEYOND:
Culinary Health Institute
Chef Michael Collantes of Michelin-starred Soseki and handroll bar Sushi Saint will oversee the culinary concepts at the 4Roots Farm Campus as a “culinary partner” at John Rivers’ sprawling complex. Collantes will curate the food and beverage program on campus, including a grab-and-go market, catering, a cocktail bar, a restaurant specializing in live-fire cooking and a chef’s counter offering a higher-end, multi-course tasting. He’ll also develop a fermentation and preservation program.
(Opening late 2026; 1918 W. Princeton St.; 4rootsfarm.org/chi)
Sama
Amit Kumar’s ambitious Winter Park venture is the Indian restaurant this city needs. Kumar, who runs Bombay Street Kitchen, Aashirwad and Tamarind, is planning on building a multi-level, multi-concept, 8,000-square-foot behemoth on the land that housed Fuji Sushi and Dry Clean World on Lee Road. Modern, innovative and uniquely plated Indian cuisine will be served on the main floor, while a cool and trendy small plate concept will greet patrons upstairs.
(Opening 2026; 1449 Lee Road, Winter Park; no website)
Storyville Coffee Company
The café is home to one of Seattle’s most expensive lattes, but Winter Parkers can soon get a taste when Storyville opens a branch inside the recently razed two-story structure that previously housed Imperial Kitchen & Wine Bar. The company, based in Bainbridge Island, Washington, is owned by Full Sail co-chairman Jonathan Phelps and has two locations in Seattle. The café will occupy the ground floor of a proposed three-story, 11,280-squarefoot building that will encompass office space and apartments.

DREAMING AND SCREAMING
The Menzingers come to town, this time with Dropkick Murphys on their St. Patrick’s Day tour
BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
“The world around us that we experience is told through stories, whether that’s the way we cognitively function from an evolutionary standpoint, but even the scientific method is a story in itself.”
Orlando Weekly found Menzingers co-vocalist and guitarist Tom May in his living room (converted into a recording studio) on a cold morning in Philadelphia. May is enjoying the calm before another tour — this time with the Dropkick Murphys — reflecting on the road ahead and dissecting the science of storytelling.
It’s that combination of storytelling and full-throated punk that keeps the Menzingers’ music so embedded in fans’ hearts nearly 20 years on. From getting drunk before doing the
dishes to having trouble with landlords, or even choosing to ignore the monsters our parents voted for, the Menzingers have created community through creating musical portraits of the high stakes of everyday life.
“Some universalities of shared stories that you can relate to is the way that people feel like they’re not alone in the world,” says May. “When we started to write songs that were more personal we realized that it resonated with our friends and our family and our fans more deeply.”
It’s a spirit reflected in their latest track, “Second City,” featured on Red Scare Industries’ 20 Years of Dreaming and Scheming compilation album. And it’s the same principle guiding the band through these perpetually dystopian times.
“There’s horrible things happening. There’s repercussions that might not even be felt for years,” says May. “Talking to your neighbors and getting away from the extreme, divisive nature of the current cultural narrative is a pathway to get people to vote differently or get people to treat people in another way.”
The promise of being among a likeminded and passionate community is one big factor that helps the band consistently sell out shows.
“When you see two strangers put their arms around each other and sing along [to] songs, there’s something that’s deeply profound about that,” says May. “And it’s carried us this way, and I think it’s going to continue to carry us that way.”
It’s the Dropkick Murphys’ annual St. Patrick’s Day Tour bringing the Menzingers to Orlando this week. It’s a sentimental show for May.
“I grew up listening to Irish folk music that my grandparents played, my aunts and uncles played, and when I got to [my] teenage years I saw that the Dropkick Murphys were going in the path of the Pogues in mixing Irish music and punk rock. It was like something unlocked inside of me. It was just incredible,” says May. “[It] feels like one of those ‘destiny making itself known’ situations.”
From tour dinners at the Texas Roadhouse to finding the nicest coffee shop within a mile of the venue or trying their luck at the slot machines — “we call it a 20 or Dirty 30” — there’s no shortage of tour lore. Florida stories, as expected, are particularly epic.

“Florida was one of the first places that we started to take off as a band. … Orlando was where we had some of our earliest touring buddies,” says May. “We recently had a day off in the Panhandle, they were calling it the Redneck Riviera there. We rented a giant golf cart-type thing. … I ended up giving people rides to work. They were just like walking down the highway and shit. It was awesome.”
As if free rides were not enough, May gives (Central) Floridians the gift of a scoop. “We’re currently writing a record together now,” says May. “We’ve told no one this. We’ve been writing together in preparation for this tour, and we have a bunch of time blocked off this year to continue to write together. And the batch of songs that we have written already are so good.” That’s a secret just for you, Orlando. Burn this after reading.

PRETTY TIED UP
Shovels
& Rope want to help build a more empathetic society through rock & roll
BY KYLE NARDINE
When Michael Trent of Shovels & Rope was first introduced to music back in middle school, it felt like he was being let in on a secret.
“My childhood friend’s older brother knew all the cool bands,” explains Trent on the phone from Houston.“Bands like Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Violent Femmes and underground bands. It felt like something I wasn’t supposed to be doing, and it felt like I was being let in on a secret. It was the first time I truly felt something, and deep down I felt connected to these bands and the sound. I was being let into a world that a lot of my middle school friends didn’t know what it was.”
It’s no secret that Shovels & Rope — the band that Trent co-leads with his wife Cary Ann Hearst — is far from the grungy sounds of Jane’s Addiction or Nine Inch Nails (a Shovels & Rope
cover would be great, though). However, the duo’s energy and volume on stage matches an arena show put on by those bigger bands.
And on Saturday the twosome from Charleston will make the Social feel like the Kia Center, bringing with them songs from their latest record, Something Is Working Above My Head.
After two decades in music, Shovels & Rope are less concerned about where they are pigeonholed genre-wise, and more interested in living up to values they set forth as a band: playing loud and giving their all to every song.
“We are one of these bands that are always changing a little bit,” says Trent. “Early on when we got thrown into the lump of being an Americana band it was kind of jarring to us because we are trying to do something different and we don’t see ourselves that way. We have always tried to make really dynamic shows and
be the loudest band and fill up the biggest stage in these rooms.”
One of those songs that fills up a room is “Colorado River,” one of the rockier songs on the new record. Trent imagined the song like a movie but the movie he imagined is more The Monkey and less Paddington in Peru.
“It starts out feeling like a wholesome camping trip,” adds Hearst.“It devolves into something so dark. It is really fun to play and I love the dark tale. This one has a lot of scenic references that I see in my own mind, and I hope the audiences paint the picture.”
There are more wholesome songs on the record too, like “Love Song From a Dog.” Trent got inspiration from the song when he visited a market in New York City.
“We were up in New York to play a show at Carnegie Hall and we were there to play one song,” remembers Trent. “We ended up walking around in a market and I found this book of dog poems and it was people writing about their dogs. It was really sweet, funny and weird. I had an idea of writing a song about a human from a dog’s point of view.”
Dogs have an approval rating that mirrors ice cream, Santa Claus and Friday afternoons, and songs about dogs poll well if you’re counting Shovels & Rope shows. Despite that near universal approval of dogs, Trent was hesitant to put

out the song at first. “I made a demo of the song and sent it to Cary,” says Trent.“I sent it to her and was like ‘What do you think?’ and I didn’t think it was all that great.”
“I never got back to him,” Hearst laughs. “We are a lot more confident in it now.”
Something Working Above My Head does have songs about not feeling confident in life, and the song “I’d Be Lying” explores that topic.
“‘I’d Be Lying’ was born out of being in a sort of grown-up world where the pressures of life can temporarily break you,” explains Hearst. “We have a bit onstage where we talk about, ‘This song is about a midlife crisis, but not ours because we are waiting for ours to happen and I hope you are enjoying yours.’”
Shovels & Rope may not be going through a midlife crisis, but they have been thinking more and more about what they have to offer to the world.
“I’ve been thinking about that a lot as an adult parent,” says Hearst. “We offer the world that we are two good people who are ready to get in there and help build a society that is empathetic and responsible. … As our songwriting matures we are speaking to things that are beyond the mortal coil, and that is a good thing about being older.” Hearst and Trent bring their two children on tour with them, and it allows their children to also learn their place in the world and learn about what they have to offer to the world.
“The other day we were in Dallas and we were grabbing food and most people were speaking Spanish,” says Trent. “Our child was like, ‘Why is everyone speaking a different language?’ And it was a good way to open up a conversation about why and how it is important to be inclusive, be kind, learn empathy, and learn other people’s languages.”
Their children also have clear eyes on what Orlando has to offer to the world, but before any trip to a theme park, Shovels & Rope has to rock out at The Social. The band have a long history with the venue and are looking forward to returning to the City Beautiful.
“We have always had a fun time going to Orlando and to The Social. We played there with Butch Walker a long time ago. Michael and I have always found a lot of people in Orlando come see us. I’m grateful we get to come in the winter to escape the arctic touring world and to get somewhere with reasonable temperatures,” says Hearst. “We might get in trouble this time because our kids are old enough to know about Disney World.”

LOCAL RELEASES
While Elise Stürup is a local notable in visual art, she’s a newcomer to the music scene with solo electronic-pop vehicle Bobby’s Daughter. Although she’s a painter by practice and education, music was always in the aura of her creative household growing up. This fledgling project is a dedication to her musical father, Bobby Hickman. “He is a pianist and composer and a huge source of my musical inspiration,” says Stürup. “He had a near-deadly stroke back in 2018 that took so much from him: his sight, his memory, movement, and his ability to play music. Though to this day, his love for music remains and he is able to still lose himself in it. That was the catalyst for me to take this project seriously. It was a way for me to connect with him.”
On March 14, Bobby’s Daughter will make her full-length debut with maiden album Heavy Heart. Although it’s Stürup’s first formal musical venture, her artistic experience already shows in the stylistic and conceptual maturity of Bobby’s
new-wave angularity. Although highly stylistic, the album is an exercise more in timeless sophistication than art-school flash. This is the work of an experienced artist, not a freshman hobbyist.
Even among the album’s cogent originals, one of the most gripping moments is an obscure cover. “He Needs Me” is a whimsical song sung by Shelley Duvall in the 1980 movie Popeye. In Stürup’s hands, however, it becomes a thing of stunning, unexpected drama.
“In its original form it is love-drunk and silly,” she says. “But even as a kid, the song always stuck out to me as odd and misguided. I wanted to repurpose this song in a way that it portrays instead how we can sometimes unknowingly use the faults of our partners to justify our worth and place in the relationship and how that can be incredibly problematic and easy to mistake for love.”
Heavy Heart will stream everywhere on March 14. On the eve of the big release, Bobby’s Daughter performs a full-band gig next week as part of an excellent all-local bill featuring Alienobserver and headlined by the highly anticipated return of Orlando indie-rock darlings TV Dinner. (8 p.m. Thursday, March 13, Will’s Pub, $10-$15)

Daughter. Visually, Stürup cuts a striking figure like a gothic Chappell Roan. Musically, she has an electropop sound of craft and refinement. Heavy Heart is seven tracks of elegant synth allure. The songs are richly stroked with a 1980s palette but favor the supple dream states of Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush over nervy
Caroline Rose: With offbeat wit and irreverent humor, Caroline Rose has charted an interesting career trajectory from rootsy iconoclast to one of today’s cleverest pop chameleons. But wherever they’ve gone, they’ve always done it with pure independence of mind and spirit. For Rose, indie isn’t simply a style but an ethos. Despite years of being a signed New West Records artist, Rose’s brand-new lo-fi album (Year of the Slug) was just released directly to listeners on Bandcamp only and won’t appear on any major streaming platforms. Moreover, the tour for it will be a series of intimate solo performances in select independent venues chosen to avoid gouging service fees. This one will be special.

Redlight Redlight 20th Anniversary
Music Fest: The venerable Redlight Redlight is, of course, best known for being the OG craftbeer pioneer in Orlando. But they’ve always had a uniquely personal connection to the local music scene, from music community socials at the original Hannibal Square loft space to some great shows at the Bennett Road location. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Redlight is throwing an excellently curated mini music fest featuring Mike Dunn, Skeletizer, Marco Dupa, New Eagles, Thorns, the return of Gasoline Heart and a reunion of History. It’s an all-star lineup that encapsulates a golden lineage of Orlando music crucially fueled by Redlight Redlight. Here’s to many more.

Lang Lang
World-renowned classical pianist Lang Lang graces the stage of Steinmetz Hall as part of the Great Orchestra Series this week. Besides his undeniable chops, the Chinese pianist brings a charismatic stage presence and ability to connect with his audience to every concert. His performances are a bridge between classical music and more popular fare; one night’s program takes in everything from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to Disney nuggets like “A Whole New World” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Along similar lines, what other performers can claim to have jammed with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra … and Metallica and Ed Sheeran? Wednesday’s recital will include work from Gabriel Fauré, Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin. 8 p.m., Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

Hip-hop boundary-pusher Santigold brings her decades-spanning, singular sound to the Beacham this week.

Santigold’s latest release, the 2022 album Spirituals, joins her collection of experimental, Afro-Caribbean and hip-hop inspired songs. 8 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N.

Welcome to Matteson!
What’s a dinner party without a little drama? Orlando Shakes features their production of Welcome to Matteson throughout March. This dark comedy by American playwright and screenwriter Inda Craig-Galván debuted as part of Orlando Shakes’ PlayFest back in 2020 and now returns in full vivid life. Craig-Galván’s works often portray conflicts and politics within Black communities, but with an added layer of magical realism. In Welcome, married couple Patricia and Gerald are content and cozy in suburban Matteson, Illinois. The two host a getting-toknow-you dinner party for their new neighbors, Regina and Corey, who relocated to the suburbs after the Chicago Housing Authority demolished its roughest housing project, Cabrini-Green. Welcome to Matteson explores themes of classism, culture and internalized racism, as the quartet just try and make it through a meal. This production of Craig-Galván’s play is directed by Roberta Emerson, Director of New Play Development at Orlando Shakes. Through March 29, Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St., orlandoshakes.org, $15-$64. — JL

A Zine Opera
Here’s a new original chamber opera that should go over well in the City Beautiful. After all, we have both a very busy annual Orlando Zine Fest and a vibrant selection of local zines currently on display at Orlando Museum of Art. A locally grown collaboration between composer ChanJi Kim, soprano and librettist Keri Lee Pierson and pianist Sofía Cardi Bonfil, A Zine Opera is a love letter to DIY fanzines and the women who created them. (Think Riot Grrrl, think Lisa Carver, think Ben Is Dead, think Doris.) The opera centers around a historian, Liz, in the 1990s who digs into a library’s archives to uncover the — fictionalized

but based on reality — lives and works of women zine creators from that time. The ’90s were a golden age for zine culture, right in the middle of the alternative-music breakthrough, so the librettists have plenty to work with.

Ani DiFranco
Almost exactly a week after the recent hagiographic documentary 1-800-ON-HER-OWN screened in Orlando, the indie-folk icon and DIY-or-die maverick Ani DiFranco comes to the City Beautiful in the flesh. And she’s not quite ready for the history books yet. DiFranco is touring behind her 23rd album — out on her own indie label, Righteous Babe Records, as per usual — the all-too-aptly titled Unprecedented Sh!t. This show is among her first forays into Florida in nearly a decade, and in the age of DeSantis, we need her sonic defiance more than ever. That defiance suffuses every note of Unprecedented Sh!t, rife with songs about abortion, climate change and patriarchal fascism (because, again, here we are). DiFranco just wrapped a six-month run as Persephone in the Broadway production of Hadestown — her Broadway debut — and she’s ready to concentrate on her own music and her very urgent messages. 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $35. — MM

Howie Mandel
America’s got talent — and Howie Mandel does too. Known for his quick wit and unpredictable humor, the Canadian comedian takes the stage at Hard Rock Live on Sunday. The famously germaphobic actor and television personality brings decades of stand-up experience to his live performances, blending personal stories, audience interaction and off-the-cuff improvisation. Mandel first gained recognition in the late 1970s, emerging from Toronto’s comedy scene before making his mark in Los Angeles. While he has since become a household name through hosting stints on television hits like Deal or No Deal and America’s Got Talent, his passion for live comedy remains at the core of his career. (Although a certain generation will always remember him as the voice of Gizmo in Gremlins.) His stand-up act features self-deprecating humor about life as a celebrity, husband and father, all delivered with the signature energy (and a touch of ADHD) that has kept audiences engaged for over 40 years. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, Universal CityWalk, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $36.50 to $96.50.

Meet Red!
This week’s feature dog is Red (A492939), 4 years old, healthy, strong, energetic and impossibly sweet. Red is one of the most affectionate dogs at our shelter. She climbs on our laps to steal kisses, lies on her back for belly rubs, and leans into hugs and affection. Red is a people dog; she’s never met a stranger, and she greets everyone with a smile and a wiggly tail. She has been in and out of the shelter multiple times, because she is a bit of an escape artist.
Red checks all the boxes except one: She does not like other dogs. She can be selective, and we have been able to have her near other dogs at the shelter. But she will not share her kennel space, and when she does interact with other dogs outside, she displays dominant and intrusive behavior. We don’t think this makes her a bad dog, though; to us she is a happy, goofy, lovable girl who just wants to be around people, and longs to be spoiled and loved. We know there’s someone out there who will get it, and will be patient enough to let her be herself. Someone who will take the time to find her triggers and respect her boundaries, and accept her for the dog she is.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
