    Hanging with DjLaLa in comfy couch

    Had a great time at The Falcon, a local and cozy space in Thornton Park's downtown Orlando. They had a deejay spinning some old school house this night and apparently have different themed parties throughout the week. There isn't a dress code, but we were celebrating the holidays and it was New Year's Eve so we broke out some threads and were hitting our favorite loval places to share the love.

    We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for one of the pop up flea market events. They were set up outside of the falcon. There was about maybe 5 vendors. We went inside to check out the place and have a drink. $3 bloody Mary's on sundays. Not sure if Sunday only. The bartender was pretty cool and chatty. We also go 2 free sake shots with purchase of drink. That was awesome. Seems like a nice hipster place to hang out.

    You all know I am a huge fan of Mother Falcon so you know I have to love me their newest adventure: The Falcon! What do I love about Melissa and John? They get it. They get all of it. They opened their t-shirt shop to garner attention to a local community and took it above and beyond with all the local art support they are continually giving. They are heavily involved with Thornton Park as a whole and you can really feel the love they have for this city in their businesses. So, their new addition, which is right next to Mother Falcon is - The Falcon Bar & Gallery, an independent and cutting edge experience in the arts in a gallery and bar setting. Yes, the first room is set up for a gallery event and spots for entertainment and DJs. Then the bar area is your spot to sit back and relax with some wine or craft beers... and cider! This place is awesome, extremely chill and has some dope art. You must stop in and check it out. The only downside I experienced was 1 bathroom so there was a bit of a wait, but I just drank while I waited =) I am pretty sure this is going to be my go-to stop when I need to chill or grab a nice cold one and want to meet some really cool people. It's open so go check it out!!!

    Mimosas on a Sunday afternoon... with GOLDFISH! :)

    I like this place! Went for the first time Sunday afternoon for some mimosas. It wasn't busy at all but I can imagine it gets busy being in Thornton Park on other nights. It's really dark, but I love the atmosphere. There's a lot of seating - bar and couches and stuff. You can even sit outside if you'd like. I hear it's dog friendly too...? I didn't bring a dog so I'm not sure but that would make it even better. The only drinks I had were mimosas (hard to mess up) and a Bloody Mary - it was my first time having one ever, and honestly if they're supposed to taste like cold tomato soup and celery, it wasn't too bad. I never expected myself to be a savory drink person, but maybe just maybe. The bartender was really nice and tentative and answered all of our questions, no matter how silly (referring to the Bloody Mary). She was super sweet. I wish I remembered her name! We were also served goldfish. Yes. Goldfish crackers. Winning. I'll be back. For sure.

    What a great place to catch a drink with friends and have a good time. So I came here for a popular event, which is called the "Drunk Spelling Bee." It was great to witness people trying to spell and drink at the same time. They have a bunch of cool art work splattered everywhere. They also have a lovely photo booth located in the back of the bar. This place literally screams out awesome vibes.

    Hachi-machi this is such a great bar .they have analog dating . so if you're date went bad you can get a great beer . Also they have awesome events like cage fest . Celebrating everyone's favorite film star Nicolas Cage .

    Enjoying a Sunday Funday at the Falcon! $3 mimosas, always cool new art and fun events going on!

    The best part about the Falcon is that there's always something to do and see here. The art is rotating and top notch local artists, you're bound to love it every time. There's only two Tvs so not too distracting, casual indie rock during the day, more lively in the evening. The craft beer and wine menu is always on point with a free sake shot with every drink order, who doesn't love that? Today they had the Bully Up Rescue with adorable dogs to play with, cuddle and even adopt if it's right for you! This made our day even better, a mimosa and sweet pup to pet. The dress is very however you are, you're welcome. It's the last spot (next to Truck Stop) so it could easily be the first or last stop on your way around the Thornton Park bar crawl so either way there's no reason to pass by on your night or weekend day out!

    So happy they are now serving Austin's coffee in the morning! Been going to Austin's for a little while now and this location is right around the corner from me! Will defiantly be back !

The hidden door which you push is on the right side. Once inside the bar it is super small inside. The tables along the wall are squished together. I think you're better off at the bar. I could see lots of people bringing dates here. First up, I tried a $17 Tree of Life. The drink the bartender made me was maybe 2 sips. There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.
