This 1.25-acre botanical garden sits above a downtown lake in Florida. Paths wind past roses, a koi pond, a grotto, and tidy beds of flowers. Benches pop up in quiet corners, so nobody has to rush.

Fifty is a lot, but it’s still a finite number. And what about the restaurants I encountered this year for the first time? What I didn’t want was a list that looked identical to last year’s. Where’s the fun in that?
