Publisher’s Note I published the first issue of Your Naples Connection in 2015 to help those living outside of Southwest Florida discover Naples; our beaches and golf courses, world-class dining and shopping destinations, unique cultural experiences, special events, philanthropic opportunities, and more. As a resident since 1991 and Co-Owner of 41 West, I am often asked to recommend restaurants, things to do, and attractions to see by visiting family, clients, and friends. My answer is A Guide to Naples. This issue showcases my favorites in 14 categories. It certainly doesn’t cover all of the many local options, so I welcome you to submit your personal recommendations for inclusion in our next issue. I hope all our readers will find this guide useful and an insightful local resource to share with family and friends. Free downloads are also available at www.41West.com.
