“Bar Tulia in Mercato or on Fifth Avenue South offers amazing cocktails. New York Pizza & Pasta has an amazing happy hour with tasty bar bites at $5 and $7. And you can’t beat enjoying the sunsets at Gumbo Limbo at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples.” Andres Paz, chief experience officer, AdVenture “We’re fortunate to have many locally owned eateries and some of my favorites can be found on Third Street South and Fifth Av82

Oh my!), delectable cocktails, live music, and a picture-perfect view of the mangroves on the Cocohatchee River. This is my go-to spot for special occasions and their Sunday brunch is second-to-none.” Jen Clark, vice president, SWFL Music Education Center “The Bayshore corridor is a fun place to hang out now. There is a great brewery, Ankrolab, a cool food truck park with a bar in Celebration Park, and good restaurants—Three60 Market, Low Brow Pizza, and Taqueria San Julian. You also have the Naples Botanical Garden nearby. Sometimes after a busy day, I head over to FUSE Global Cuisine for a drink
