|Experience the Taste of Southern Italy... Most nights, when you visit Cafe’ Gabbiano, you’ll be greeted by your host and proprietor, Pietro Migliaccio. Both Pietro and his wife, Susan have the motto which is “To Siesta Key through New York from Ischia with love.” As you enter the restaurant, you’ll feel the warmth that has lovingly gone into their establishment creating an oasis of Italian ambiance right here on the Key. Be prepared to pamper your tastebuds with freshly prepared meals from their thoughtfully planned menu paired with a selection from their extensive wine list. You’ll relish the love they pour into each dish and the care they take in acquiring some of the best wines to enhance your dining pleasure. Their wine club and bar, which adjoins the restaurant, offers many rare vintages for the discriminating palate and boasts over 500 wines from around the world. This is the type of restaurant you want to visit when you have time to savor the casual atmosphere, gracious service and made-to-order dishes where each meal is a “Special Order” and no meal sits longer than 30 seconds from the pan to your table. Pietro Migliaccio and family, pride themselves on the freshest, very best, top quality ingredients and authentically prepared Southern Italian food. Each year when the Migliaccio’s visit family and friends in Italy they return refreshed with new ideas and items to add to their menu and ever-expanding wine cellar. As they prepare for their annual sojourn to Pietro’s motherland, they look forward to another successful trip that promises even more delectable dishes and wines to tempt your palate. As one of their many loyal patrons wrote: ´([FHOOHQW :H ZHQW WZR RXW RI ÀYH QLJKWV RQ vacation. I have over ten years in the restaurant business and have not found service like this anywhere. It was attentive without being pretentious. The food was fabulous and fairly priced – very relaxing. It’s a reason to go back to Siesta Key.” ( Reviewed by Mary, Palm Beach, FL) Since opening their doors in October 2003, Cafe’ Gabbiano has earned its place as being part of the fabric that is Siesta Key.

|Meet The Natives - The Elusive Mermaid? It’s hard to imagine that sailors of long ago could have mistaken the large gentle manatee or dugong for the beautiful, but heartless siren of folklore. Tales of mermaids are nearly universal and date back to 1000 %&( ,W¡V SRVVLEOH WKDW ZKHQ HDUO\ GD\ VDLORUV Ă€UVW VSRWWHG these unfamiliar creatures, and saw how they carried their young, cradled in their arms similar to a human carrying a baby, they thought they came across some form of the fabled mermaid. But hair? Really? Well, according to reports, these lonely sailors probably saw the manatees break the water’s surface underneath patches of seaweed, giving the impression of long hair. Either that or they were out at sea too long or a bit too much rum was consumed. In any event, we now know that these gentle creatures are related to the elephant, are intelligent and curious. Unfortunately, they are an endangered species and according to population viability studies carried out in 1997, eventual extinction is probable for the Florida manatees without additional protection. Please help do your part in keeping our waters manatee-friendly. Here are some boating guidelines to keep in mind when enjoying the coastal waters this summer especially since it is the key

season for manatee mating. Avoid the temptation to pet a nearby manatee since it encourages them to get too close to boaters and increases their chance of a violent collision with boat propellers. Never try to push the manatee back to deeper water as they can be injured or, due to their size, could inadvertently cause an injury. Wear sunglasses. It helps you spot animals just beneath the surface of the water. Pay attention to the local signs: “No Wake� means you must not travel at a speed that would create waves alongside or behind your boat. “Caution Zones� manatees gather here so use caution even if you do not see

them physically. “Idle Only Zonesâ€? these are areas where manatees live in large numbers. Move only at speeds that allow you to navigate. “No Enterâ€? means do not take your boat into this area. If you spot a stranded, seriously injured or dead manatee anywhere in state waters, do not get near them. Instead call the FWC Wildlife Alert hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922). While there are many factors involved in ensuring the survival of these gentle mammals, by being aware of their struggle and educating ourselves, we can be part of the solution. If you’re LQWHUHVWHG LQ Ă€QGLQJ RXW PRUH check out Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium’s website: www. mote.org or visit their facility at 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway, Sarasota, Florida, 941-388-4441, info@mote.org. Let’s make sure the manatees don’t become folklore like the mermaid.

The sand is 99% pure quartz, soft and cool to the touch. Among the many awards it has earned are the “Whitest, Finest Beach Sand in the Worldâ€? (The Great International White Sand challenge, 1987), “The Best Sand Beach in Americaâ€? (The Travel Channel, 2004) and for 2011, it was rated #1 beach in the 21st annual Top 10 Beach List, produced by coastal expert Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research. Walking along, or swimming and playing in th Gulf of Mexico or merely basking in the tropical sun is enough fun for many folks, but others are drawn by Siesta Beach’s many amenities, which include tennis and vollyball courts, shaded playground and picnic/ barbecue areas and convienent concession stands. Shallow water near shorline and year-round lifeguard protection make it a great family beach. Beach wheelchairs can be borrowed to help special needs visitors cross the sand.

What could be better than having oysters at an authentic Florida Oyster Bar? How about oysters and live entertainment seven nights a week. The Siesta Key Oyster Bar is better known as SKOB (much as we refer to this publication as SKIV). Located in the heart of Siesta Key Village, it is a family owned and operated business. Jack, the father, retired from Chicago to Sarasota. His daughters Jill and Beth, along with their families, were soon to follow. Once Jill found out the Siesta Key Oyster Bar was for sale, it didn’t take much to convince her sister and brotherin-law to join her quest to possess the true family beach bar. The SKOB was purchased by “The Family” in November of 2003. The family has grown beyond Jill, Geno, Beth and Keith; they consider staff and regular customers as part of the family. Keeping true to their name, the SKOB’s specialty is oysters on the half shell. They even have a Crustacean Happy Hour that happens

every day from 3 – 6 daily featuring oysters RQ WKH KDOI VKHOO DQG /RXLVLDQD FUDZÀVK 7KH menu has a large assortment of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, seafood entrees and a very neat kid’s menu. You can enjoy your meal on a large deck overlooking Ocean Blvd or inside with the air-conditioning. The SKOB offers full bar service and has a late night Happy Hour featuring 2 for 1 drink specials starting at 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 11pm Friday and Saturday. SKOB features live music each and every day! The groups play island favorites like “Margaritaville,” but they also have wide repertoires of popular tunes from today and yesterday. Who knows, you may even catch some great Delta Blues.

The music starts 7pm Monday thru Thursday, 8pm Friday & 1pm Saturday & Sunday. 5238 Ocean Blvd. On the Siesta Key Village Map location B #45. 941-346-5443 www.skob.com.

Daisy Cotton, Inc., located on School Avenue at the back of :HVWÀHOG 6RXWKJDWH 0DOO EHJDQ as a small wholesale business selling pima cotton nightwear, loungewear and activewear imported from Peru. Daisy is owned by Jan Allen (her husband Dick is a silent partner), and they opened the doors for business in December of 2007. It quickly became apparent that they needed to expand into a missy size boutique that would specialize in clothing not available across the street at Southgate Mall. They have pretty much phased out of the wholesale business after WKH ÀUVW WZR years selling Daisy Cotton nationwide. What is left in their inventory will be sold at the wholesale price until it is gone.

There are Aliki Yamani washable silk separates for weddings, galas, cruises, and resort, as well as casually elegant labels like Yon, Caribe, IC Collection, Simply Silk, and CCC.

Award Winning Chowder To Go!

ta ap

To say we’re proud is an understatement. Going to Newport, RI to compete for the title of Best New England Clam Chowder was a long shot at best. Many thought we were “Nuts!” We constantly heard: “No matter how good the chowder is, the people of New England are not going to allow the title of “Best Chowder” to go to Florida!” They had history on their side, too. After 26 years of competition, only one other restaurant outside of New England had taken home the title. It’s kind of like a New York restaurant winning the “Best Grouper Sandwich” award at a Florida Seafood Festival. We had faith though. We knew our chowder was the best, and we proved it to them. After two days and serving up over 120 gallons of our chowder to some 15,000 “chowder heads,” the people voted. Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar took First Place! We believe winning is a testament to just how good our food is here at Captain Curt’s and to the dedication of our staff in preparing and serving it. During the festival, the staff truly “went the extra mile!” They worked hard to bring home the title. We are so proud and happy to have them. We couldn’t have won without their dedication and hard work! Stop by Captain Curt’s today and enjoy the best New England Clam Chowder in the World! And meet the great people that brought the title home to Siesta Key! IN 26 YEARS CAPTAIN CURT’S IS ONLY THE SECOND RESTAURANT, OUTSIDE NEW ENGLAND, TO WIN THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD!

on Siesta Key... Property prices continue to be “super heated� here on Siesta Key. Below is a snapshot of sold properties on the island in the last six months SINGLE FAMILY HOMES: Lowest sold price was $200,500. Highest sold price was $5,900,000. CONDOS: Lowest sold price was $145,000 for a 1 BR and $165,500 for 2 BR or more. Highest sold price was $2,625,000. If you compare these prices to what they were a few years ago, you’ll see that they have come down dramatically and right now it’s still a buyer’s market. But, according to Trendgraphix, Inc., in six months the average days on the market for all residential properties went from 199 to 176 and as of May, we have 553 properties for sale. Currently, we have about “one year� of inventory for sale; down

IURP WKH Ă€UVW RI WKLV \HDU ZKLFK ZDV RYHU PRQWKV RI LQYHQWRU\ WR absorb, or to be purchased and sold. This is of the utmost importance, since – as the time it takes to absorb the properties for sale speeds up, the gap begins to close on that timetable. What this all means is that as the amount of inventory declines faster, prices begin to stabilize and/or improve. Think of it as the scales beginning to even out. This is what occurs just before the market changes again, to a Seller’s Market and higher prices. Nobody knows for sure when that will be, but it is certainly better to buy on the “down sideâ€? than the “up side.â€? So take advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime reduced prices and extremely low interest rates especially since Siesta Key Beach has been named the #1 Beach in America for 2011. This ensures that obtaining ownership here now will always be a solid investment, over time. Whether you are an investor interested in the best rental complexes, or want your own private place to enjoy, I can provide you with many more statistics and facts about the Siesta Key market DQG DQ\ZKHUH HOVH LQ WKH 6DUDVRWD DUHD $OORZ PH WR KHOS \RX Ă€QG your piece of paradise.
