The Milk District

Here’s where to find the best food in Orlando 👇🏽 📍 Wandering Palm Adventures (@wanderingpalmfoodtours ) 🍽️ This women-owned foodie tour has multiple neighborhoods to explore on walking tours in Orlando, but we did The Milk District and simply cannot recommend a tour more 🤯 🌭 The tour included 5 stops: 1️⃣ Bull & Bush @bullandbushorlando Here we tried an old family recipe that was brought over by the owners, that made this hole-in-the-wall feel just like an ole English pub 🍻 2️⃣ Primrose Lanes @primroselanes Next, we headed to a salvaged bowling alley that has been completely revamped using original parts from the lanes. Not only did we get a behind-the-scenes tour of the lanes, but we enjoyed some incredible gourmet hot dogs alongside a fancy cocktail. 3️⃣ Stasio’s Italian Deli @stasiositaliandeli Our third stop was extra special, as the owner of Wandering Palm grew up in an Italian family. We sampled some Sicilian street food and rainbow cookies from this Italian family-owned spot. 4️⃣ Pom Pom’s @pompomsteahouse Our last savory bites were soaked in at this tea house & sandwicheria. The owner had some extensive culinary training before opening this mouthwatering gem in The Milk District. We not only tried the tea of the day spritzed with wine, but had some fabulous sandwiches, pad thai & spicy mac that I will be dreaming about 💭 5️⃣ Kelly’s Ice Cream @kellyshomemadeicecream Of course, we had to end on a sweet note! Kelly had found her calling when working at an ice cream shop while going to nursing school. Turns out, making homemade ice cream was more in line ✨ I tried a scoop of mint chip and guys…you’re gonna wanna save some room for this dessert. Trust me. 🌟 Depending on the tour you choose, you may be heading to different places at different times, but no matter what, I can guarantee you’re going to leave full & happy 😆 💫 Did you know Orlando has a foodie scene?! #orlando #Orlandofoodie #foodtour #themilkdistrict #visitorlando #florida

🛼✨ BRAND NEW ROLLER SKATING RINK inside @primroselanes is a boutique roller skating experience with lounge vibes, elevated food, craft cocktails, bowling, and the perfect mix of family fun + date night energy. Feels a like a mix of a lounge and a traditional skating rink. Definitely one of the more unique experiences I’ve checked out in Orlando lately. Would y’all pull up for a skate night? 👀 #orlando #orlandoflorida #orlandofoodie #thingstodoinorlando #orlandonightlife

🤠 Just got back from a week at the annual Main Street America Conference with fellow members of our Orlando Main Streets team. This year’s event was held in Tulsa, OK, and brought together 2,000+ Main Streets from across the country to learn, share, and advance this work. And here’s what keeps showing up, no matter the city we visit: ➡️ History shapes identity ➡️ Placemaking matters ➡️ People need spaces where they feel like they belong ➡️ Small businesses are the heartbeat of it all Tulsa has a saying: “Livin’ on Tulsa Time.” It's a simple phrase that captures a whole feeling, a whole identity. It got me thinking… what’s ours? 🤔 (Feel free to give a suggestion in the comments) Because at the end of the day, this work isn’t about districts or programs; it’s about creating places where people feel at home and thrive. And that’s exactly what we’re building here in The Milk District. 🥛 @natlmainstreet @orlandomainstreets @citydistrictorlando @curryfordwest @ivanhoevillage @thorntonpark @westlakesmainstreet @thedrivecollegepark #TheMilkDistrict #OrlandoMainStreets #SupportLocalArtists #orlandomainstreets #supportlocalbusinesses #MainStreetOrlando #shopsmall #ShopLocal #MainStreetNow #orlando #supportlocalbusiness #tulsaartsdistrict
