  • BEST RADIO STATION
    Real Radio 104.1 FM
    www.realradio.fm

    Talk radio is hideous. But if you have the choice of suffering the wagging tongues of right-wing pundits or Monster (truck) rednecks, the latter are certainly more entertaining for your busy ears. Between the Monsters, Jim Philips (and Moira!) and our own bad sport, Drew Garabo, the town seems none the wiser ... literally. The old stalwart of Real Music Weekends — basically the Loverboy-free side of hip '80s retro — provides a fitting antidote to a long week of jabberjawing.

    1108 S. Orange Blossom Trail, (407) 422-7115,

    www.cowboysorlando.com

    Two words: boots and bikinis. Oh, and one other word: rednecks. This Orlando institution is a behemoth of Southern-fried abandon. With country music seemingly on a redneck rebound ("I'm a Redneck Woman," is charting, people), this joint package store/honkytonk is putting its 15,000 square feet to some good-timing, line-dancing use, even hosting a weekly teen night for rednecks in training.

    The future is upon us. And it will be dripping Skoal-spit.

  • BEST BREAKFAST/BRUNCH

    Global Brunch
    Sundays at Gargi's Lakeside, 1414 N. Orange Ave., (407) 894-7907

    The fairy godchild of Julian Bain and Sam Singhaus recently relocated to the newly-lakefront Italian eatery, Gargi's, and has shifted moods. Where it was once bawdy, it's now just picturesque. Better food and a better view make it still the place to drown your sorrows on a Sunday afternoon.

    Julie's Waterfront
    4201 S. Orange Ave., (407) 240-2557,

    www.julieswaterfront.com

    Herons, raccoons, gators and hapless waterskiers … what else do you need to look at while you're scarfing down dishes from Julie's surprisingly diverse menu? Gut-busting all-you-can-eat fish fries (on Tuesdays and Fridays) will test your consumption abilities, but decent salads and wraps as well as odd treats like lobster nuggets and toasted ravioli round out a stellar surf & turf menu. And hey, you can bring your dog!

    Local Customs: BEST ICE CREAM SHOP

  • BEST ICE CREAM SHOP

    Marble Slab Creamery
    Multiple locations,

    www.marbleslab.com

    Never before has an ice cream shop given us such input in creating our own dessert than at Marble Slab Creamery. After choosing one of the shop's homemade ice cream flavors, you're given the option of adding some of the 37 different "mixins" into your frozen work of art, which the employees hand-mix into the ice cream over a frozen marble slab, hence the name. Choices range from pineapples and raspberries to Ding Dongs and Whoppers. Soon enough, the newest feature in Cosmo will be, "What your man's ice cream mixin says about his lovemaking style."

     Hi Michael, It was nice meeting you at the Orlando meet. Sounds like you and I should be hired by the Florida Travel and Convention Commission since we both love Florida and promote it non-stop. Kathy in Sunny Florida
