A Word from your Editor

We are now in the heart of off-season, hurricane season, and ever-increasing humidity. Although we wish for no hurricanes to hit us, we are grateful for the extra rain showers as of late that have been hitting our area. Naples has once again been reclaimed by its locals as many flee from the oppressive heat and irregular weather patterns. I can't say that I blame them. While we are dependent on the season and tourism for Naples' economy, it is nice to enjoy the natural beauty of our city without the overcrowding. It's also pleasant to explore the city without the large numbers of people and the hustle and bustle of peak season. 

This is the time of year when you can walk into most any restaurant without a reservation. You can find a seat at the bar and take advantage of many promotions and happy hours. 

Sizzle Dining returns September 5-25 with their charity dining promotion that drives much needed business into what is otherwise known as one of the quietest months of the year. It's a great time to try that new restaurant you've had your eye on or revisit one of your many favorites. Take advantage of the discounted menu prices while dining for a great cause.
