Authentic New Jersey Bagels Are Hiding at This Unassuming Florida Shop

Pork roll on a bagel, served in Florida. That one menu detail alone tells you this shop knows exactly who it’s cooking for. The signs inside are shaped like New Jersey license plates. A window lets you watch bagels getting boiled before they bake. I like how the whole place feels built by someone who missed home and decided to fix it.

'World famous' Sarasota restaurant plans to reopen with original owner

A Sarasota restaurant that touted itself as "world famous " thanks in large part to a national television spotlight, before closing last year after more than two decades in business, plans to reopen under its original owner. J.D. Chester told the Herald-Tribune that he intends to reopen Munchies 420 Cafe, at 6639 Superior Ave. in Sarasota's Gulf Gate neighborhood, around the end of November or start of December. Munchies opened in 2002, with the idea coming from Chester after he wrapped up a night of drinking and couldn't find a restaurant in Sarasota that stayed open in the late hours, according to a 2017 Herald-Tribune story for the restaurant's 15th anniversary.

Fresh seafood, Sarasota Bay sunsets, live music and the character of a working fishing village make Swordfish Grill and Tiki Bar a destination worth crossing the coast for. Calling any restaurant the best is an invitation to debate. South Florida has glittering hotel dining rooms, celebrity chefs and waterfront tables stretching from Tampa Bay to the Keys. But the restaurants people remember most are not always the most polished. They are the places where the setting, food and sense of place come together so naturally that dinner feels like a Florida experience rather than simply a meal.
