The Neighbors! A fun new addition to Audubon Park!

Build An Adventure2021-11-18

I had the privilege of visiting the newest addition to Audubon Park's East End Market last week. I'd seen the Instagram posts and heard the hype, but I wanted to check it out for myself. Located on the second floor of East End, The Neighbors is a colorful, incredibly local gift shop. It's also a cocktail bar! How fun to have a place that contains two things I enjoy: local gifts for people I love and fancy cocktails I've never heard of!

Some of my favorite gifts in the shop are the countless stickers ( many of us that have adventure vans absolutely love stickers!), the handmade prints and jewelry, and most of all, anything that talks about how awesome Orlando is. Orlando is my home and I love it so much. I'm always proud to represent our beautiful city! Some favorite local businesses represented in this shop included Swan City (love them!), Bloomwolf studio, and The Rocky Pet. Fun names for fun and local businesses!

I do regret not visiting this cute hangout spot in the evening, because I can only imagine how fun it is to drink a specialty cocktail in this place. I see a fun night out in the future! I absolutely love how welcoming the lounge spot above looks. Soft chairs, cute tables to set some drinks, and a view! Everything I want in a cocktail bar.

I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a gift for anyone at all, if you have a craving for a cute drink, or both! I'll be back soon for some serious Christmas shopping!

A visit to Yay! A tiny shop with charm.

Located in the Ivanhoe Village shopping district in Orlando, Yay! is a tiny shop with so much charm. It may be small in stature, but inside there are so many unique treasures and gifts for almost any occasion. Yay! is currently in a Phase 1 reopening stage with modified hours. Because of the size of this shop, only four customers are allowed in at a time, but I can assure you, four feels like enough in this quaint space!

The Lovely! An Audubon Park vintage paradise!

The Lovely, located in Audubon Park in Orlando, is aptly named. A giant inventory of vintage clothing, dishes, and even furniture, one could spend hours just thumbing through everything. Upon arrival, you will usually find at least one outside rack of gorgeous outfits from the sixties and seventies. While I was not alive during these decades, I still appreciate the beauty and the vivaciousness of the styles that reigned during these times. The floral dresses, the leisure suits, and the platform shoes hint at a very specific moment for fashion.

Lazy Moon! A must if you love pizza!

One of my favorite places to order pizza from is a cute little pizza restaurant called Lazy Moon. We live close to the Mills 50 location in Orlando, and going there is always a treat. On our last visit, Ben and I were actually picking up food to bring to our son's school to celebrate his birthday. We ordered him a slice of cheese pizza (he's not fond of toppings yet). One slice may not seem like much, but these slices are huge!

Maffrey's Good Goods: Ivanhoe Village

Located in the Ivanhoe village in Orlando, Florida, Maffrey's is a favorite for finding unique and locally sourced gifts for every occasion. We've bought everything from van life stickers to mugs quoting Gandhi. What struck us as special when we walked in was how friendly and kind the owner was. Jeff told us what brought him to Orlando and explained how he likes to feature local artists, many of them women, in the shop.

Bikes, Beans, and Bordeaux, Audubon Park

Visiting local restaurants is one of our favorite things to do on a night out. The smaller and cozier, the better. Bikes, Beans, and Bordeaux, or B3 as many locals refer to it, is an adorable little cafe located in the heart of Audubon Park in Orlando, Florida. We frequently go there for the plant based options (they also have non plant based options, which is great if you have different dietary needs in your home like we do), the fun atmosphere and the engaging trivia nights. The cafe is mostly bicycle themed, a nod to the owner's love of cycling. Even the coat hooks in the bathrooms are made from old bicycle pedals.
