» Orange County scrapped minority and women business program
You may recall last week’s story in print about how Orange County leaders were considering getting rid of the county’s decades-old minority and women business enterprise program, citing anti-DEI orders from the federal government as justification. Well, they did it — with some commissioners approving the suspension more (publicly) glumly than others. The Trump administration in January issued executive orders targeting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the country. According to the county’s legal team, failure to get rid of any county-run DEI-related programs (regardless of whether they receive federal funding) could result in the feds withholding the hundreds of millions of dollars Orange County receives from the feds in recurring and nonrecurring grants funds each year. Even more, county staff believe (based on a memo from the DOJ) that they could face criminal penalties and be forced to pay treble damages if they accept federal grant funds while knowingly operating any county DEI program. A silver lining: Orange County leaders plan to come up with some “small business enterprise” program instead, to sort of replace the M/WBE program. Commissioners plan to discuss that July 15.
» DeSantis vetoed millions in state funding requests for Central Florida projects Florida Gov. DeSantis vetoed millions of dollars earmarked in state funding requests last week for programs in Central Florida that would have supported local health, homelessness and municipal infrastructure projects. State funding requests vetoed by DeSantis (as part of the finalization of the fiscal year 2025-26 state budget) include money for a veteran homelessness program, home meal delivery for senior citizens, and other requests from local Democratic and Republican lawmakers alike. This isn’t the first time DeSantis has vetoed funding requests for projects affecting Central Florida (remember the mega arts and culture funding veto last year?) but the sting isn’t any less painful, especially for the economically disadvantaged families who would have been served. One project that did not have its funding nixed was the Pulse memorial development. Rep. Anna Eskamani and Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith successfully secured nearly $400,000 in state funds for that initiative. You can find the full list of DeSantis’ vetoes affecting Central Florida (plus some wins) in our story on orlandoweekly.com.
» Big DeSantis campaign donor set to reap billions from Alligator Alcatraz The Florida Trident reported last week that IRG Global Emergency Management, a state contractor, has brought everything from large trailers to golf carts to a command post into the new immigrant detention camp in the Everglades that Gov. Ron DeSantis has dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” On its face, IRG is a new firm, formed in February, that has so far been awarded a pair of state contracts totaling $20.8 million. But the company is an offshoot of Access Restoration Services US, Inc., which is a major campaign donor to DeSantis and has amassed state contracts totaling $108 million and $101 million in purchase orders since 2023, according to state records. The vast majority of those contracts and purchase orders have been issued directly by the governor’s office following executive orders DeSantis issued declaring states of emergency regarding immigrants and hurricanes that grant him extraordinary powers. The declarations allow DeSantis, in tandem with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, to hand out contracts with little to no regulatory oversight, bypassing procurement and competitive bidding rules. In January 2023, DeSantis declared a state of emergency in Florida due to what he said was a mass influx of “unauthorized” immigrants. That order has been extended multiple times since.
» Federal appeals court ruled against Florida teacher who challenged preferred pronouns law
A federal appeals court has ruled against a Florida teacher who challenged a state law forbidding transgender teachers from using their preferred pronouns during their official duties in the classroom. The case involves Katie Wood, a math teacher in Hillsborough County who is transgender. She sued the state after a 2023 law passed saying that employees of public schools may not identify themselves to their students with pronouns that are inconsistent with their sex assigned at birth. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled against Wood. The judges considered whether her speech or pronoun use while interacting with students inside the classroom is private speech or within the scope of employment. District Judge Mark Walker in
Tallahassee, appointed by former President Obama, had ruled at trial that it was “substantially likely” the law violated Wood’s speech rights and issued a preliminary injunction. The appeal court vacated that injunction. The majority found that Wood was acting as a teacher, rather than as a private citizen, when writing her pronouns on the whiteboard and syllabi, wearing a pin with her pronouns, and providing her pronouns verbally.
» Gulf of America, high-school phone ban and other Florida ed laws now in effect
A number of education-related state laws took effect July 1, following an unusual legislative session that featured not just GOP vs. Democrat verbal tussles, but infighting within the GOP, too. One new law (SB 1070) requires student athletes to complete an electrocardiogram, a screening used to detect heart conditions. Hearings for the bill were heavily attended by parents whose children died from heart conditions. Another (HB 1067) requires schools to provide CPR and first-aid training in middle school and high school. Another bill (SB 1514, sponsored by Orlando-area Sen. Smith) requires “an adequate number” of charter and public school personnel to be trained to respond to allergic reactions, including administering epinephrine. Two bills (HB 549 and 575) address a change made through an executive order from President Donald Trump. They require state agencies and schools to buy new instructional materials saying “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico.” HB 1105, among other things, implements a high school bell-to-bell phone ban pilot study in six counties and outright bans phone use for elementary and middle school students during the school day statewide.
SPIKED
The Trump administration wants to weaken OSHA safety rules for entertainment workers — citing as support the tragic 2010 Tilikum case from SeaWorld Orlando
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
As part of a broader deregulatory push by President Donald Trump and his allies in the business community, the Trump administration is pushing to weaken an area of worker safety law that could make it easier for employers in the entertainment and sports industries to evade responsibility for a worker’s injury or death on the job.
A new rule proposed by the current leadership of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health administration, an agency that oversees workplace health and health regulation, would weaken what’s known as OSHA’s “general duty clause,” which is used to apply to cases of workplace injuries and deaths where no other specific standard applies.
This general duty clause, for instance, has been used to cite employers for heat-related death and illness on the job, as well as forms of workplace violence such as physical assault and even homicide. Under this clause, employers are required to provide a workplace that is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.” Courts have interpreted this to include hazards that could have been preventable.
Now, OSHA under the Trump administration is seeking to weaken this clause in the entertainment, performing arts, animal handling, tactical training, hazard-based media and journalism activities, and sports industries specifically — and they have cited an old OSHA case involving SeaWorld Orlando in their push for a change.
See, back in 2010, OSHA cited SeaWorld $70,000 for safety violations following the death of 30-year-old whale trainer Dawn Brancheau on the job. Brancheau, an employee at SeaWorld, was required by her employer to interact faceto-face with a killer whale named Tilikum that was known for previous involvement in human deaths.
During a live show one day at the park, Brancheau was tragically, publicly dismembered and drowned by Tilikum in front of an audience of families and children.
OSHA ultimately determined that SeaWorld was aware of the hazards Brancheau faced, and that her death could have been prevented. SeaWorld contested OSHA’s citation — which was ultimately weakened from where it started, anyway — and that case made it to the U.S. Court
of Appeals, where the court sided with OSHA in a 2-1 decision.
Who was the lone dissenter? None other than then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was later appointed by Trump to the U.S. Supreme Court during Trump’s first presidential term in 2018.
“That is where this all stems from,” said former OSHA official Jordan Barab, who served as second-in-command at OSHA under the Obama administration.
“The intent is to keep OSHA out of enforcement in entertainment and sports venues, at least to the extent that this general duty clause is used,”he told Orlando Weekly in an interview. That means that illnesses and injuries that implicate existing standards — such as adequate fall protection — would still be subject to OSHA enforcement.
But injury or death related to extreme heat would be put in a regulatory gray area.
“If this thing goes through, this action goes through, then it could keep OSHA from enforcing any kind of heat-related protections for performers,” Barab confirmed.
According to the proposed rule, published to the Federal Register last week, the intent of the rule is to “clarify” OSHA’s general duty clause “to exclude from enforcement known hazards that are inherent and inseparable from the core nature of a professional activity or performance.”
Kavanaugh’s dissent in the SeaWorld case — referred to in the newly published rule — argued that the general duty clause “does not authorize OSHA to regulate hazards arising from normal activities that are intrinsic to professional, athletic, or entertainment occupations.”
So, in other words, he believed those occupations should get, or already had, a special carve-out. Yet, as Barab wrote in his own watchdog blog, Confined Space, at the time, Kavanaugh’s assertion doesn’t hold up. OSHA has, in fact, regulated hazards eligible for enforcement under the general duty clause in these industries before.
In 2011, for example, OSHA used the general duty clause to cite the producer of the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark after cast members suffered preventable injuries during aerial routines.
Cirque du Soleil, the largest circus performing company in the world, has been cited by OSHA for safety violations multiple times following performer injuries and death. Disney World also hasn’t
been spared by the agency’s labor safety cops.
Even more timely are fines recently levied against producers of Orlando’s Electric Daisy Carnival. EDC producers are facing fines from OSHA in connection to the death of a stagehand that occurred during setup for the music and arts festival last year.
Paul Cox, who serves as acting business manager of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 631 in Orlando, told Orlando Weekly he found OSHA’s new proposal “reprehensible.”
“A stagehand at Walt Disney World should have the same fundamental protections as an auto worker in Detroit,” said Cox. “For far too long, those of us in the entertainment industry have lived by the saying, ‘The show must go on,’ but never should that come at the cost of our safety or our livelihoods.”
According to 2025 employment data cited by OSHA, protections for thousands of U.S. workers in athletics and entertainment industries could be affected (or rather, weakened) should this regulation take effect.
A broader push for deregulation
This new rule from OSHA is part of a broader deregulatory push from the Trump administration, which has sought from day one of Trump’s presidency to downsize (and fiscally starve) the federal government.
U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer — a Trump appointee — recently announced her department would be taking 63 deregulatory actions as a sort of patriotic act to free the business community of “unnecessary regulations.”
“The Department of Labor is proud to lead the way by eliminating unnecessary regulations that stifle growth and limit opportunity,” said Chavez-DeRemer, a former Republican congresswoman from Oregon, in a statement. “These historic actions will free Main Street, fuel economic growth and job creation, and give American workers the flexibility they need to build a better future.”
Other deregulatory actions announced include proposals to scrap certain affirmative action requirements (“illegal discrimination”) for registered apprenticeship programs, rescind union organizing rights for migrant farmworkers, and get rid of minimum wage and overtime requirements for home healthcare workers that were put in place under the Obama administration. In the DOL’s proposed rulemaking, the DOL warns the latter could “discourage essential companionship services by making these services more expensive.”
For Barab, this new push is just another piece in the puzzle. “There’s a whole pattern here of, you know, trying to not just narrow what kind of authority OSHA has, but attacks on the entire so-called regulatory state,” said Barab.
According to a recent“Death on the Jobs”report from the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest federation of labor unions, OSHA as it stands has only one federal inspector for every 84,937 workers in the U.S.
With nearly 12 million workplaces under its jurisdiction, OSHA only has enough staffing and resources to inspect workplaces once every 185 years, the AFL-CIO calculated.
President Trump, who oversaw a decline in OSHA enforcement activity during his term in the White House, has called for sizable budget cuts to many federal agencies, including OSHA. Cutting OSHA’s budget for investigations and inspections could hit working people in states like Florida even harder, since Florida doesn’t have its own workplace safety agency to fill gaps in federal enforcement.
Barab, who tracks worker deaths each week on his blog Confined Space, believes budget cuts for OSHA are counterproductive — at least if your goal is to protect working people and keep them safe and alive to return home to their families.
“Obviously, OSHA needs a much bigger budget, as opposed to the President’s proposal, which cuts OSHA’s budget significantly,” Barab told Orlando Weekly.
“OSHA needs authority to do whatever it can, obviously within the law, to protect workers and not keep restricting OSHA’s authority to protect workers as the founding fathers of OSHA intended when they passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act 50 years ago.”
What’s next?
This proposed rule from OSHA isn’t set in stone — yet. Now that the proposal is published, it is now subject to a 60-day public comment period. Anyone (even you, reader) is welcome to submit a comment in support of, against, or to otherwise add suggestions to help shape the rule. Since this is a proposed regulation, not a standard, the process for adopting this proposal will take a shorter amount of time than it does to adopt a new standard — take, for example, a Biden-era effort to establish standards for protecting workers from heat-related illness on the job. The process for finalizing that standard is still ongoing.
According to Barab, standards are subject to public hearings under the OSH Act, upon request. Proposed regulations, however, are not. “Regulations are things that are not governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act. They’re governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, and there’s no requirement in the Administrative Procedure Act for a hearing,” he explained.
After the 60-day comment period, OSHA will review the final comments they receive (which could include comments in support from the industry side, too) and work on finalizing a regulation. Then, the agency will submit that to the U.S. Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for them to sign and issue.
Barab, however, also suspects the proposed rule may be illegal, arguing that OSHA generally lacks the authority to eliminate general duty clause protection for certain hazards, based on past court decisions. OSHA could, alternatively, be hoping for someone to challenge the new rule in court and see previous court decisions overturned. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com
Welcome to Orlando: Life Starts With Air Conditioning
So, you’ve moved to Orlando, the land of palm trees, Pub subs and weather that makes you question every piece of clothing you own. Whether you’re here for college, a new job, a partner or you’re just chasing 360 days of sunshine, here’s the unfiltered, real-life starter guide to living in Central Florida.
When it comes to Orlando rentals, AC isn’t a luxury, it is survival. Don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise. You’ll be surprised how quickly you get used to the indoor-to-outdoor climate whiplash. Learn this now: Dress in light layers (even in August), always keep a windshield shade in your car, and never underestimate a ceiling fan. Your electric bill might spike in the summer, but sweating through dinner is not the vibe. Welcome to the subtropics!
Neighborhoods at a Glance
Orlando isn’t built like a traditional city with a dense center and sprawl. It’s more like a constellation of neighborhoods and districts, each with its own orbit, crowd and coffee ritual. From the Main Street Districts to the satellite suburbs, your ZIP code will shape your dayto-day energy more than you might expect, so here’s a vibe check for some of the most popular areas to live, hang or find your favorite taco spot.
Milk District
Eclectic, artsy and covered in murals. Great for bar-hopping, vintage shopping, plant stores and seeing bands you’ve never heard of (yet). The queer-friendly energy is strong, and so is the brunch game.
Mills 50
Gritty, diverse and full of personality. The unofficial home of Orlando’s Vietnamese food scene, dive bars, tattoo shops and indie small businesses. If you love late-night noodles and live music, welcome home.
Audubon Park
Mid-century homes, backyard chickens and a neighborhood that actually composts. Known for East End Market, gardening culture and vintage treasure-hunting. Think slow mornings, quirky neighbors, plenty of zines.
Ivanhoe Village
Lake views, antique shops and a retro revival vibe. Ideal for sunset happy hours on Lake Ivanhoe, casual date nights and spotting vintage Corvettes. It’s like a vintage postcard, but cooler.
College Park
Charming bungalows, tree-lined streets and a stroller-to-station-wagon pipeline. Popular with young families and longtime locals. You can walk to your coffee shop, and you’ll probably get to know your mail carrier.
Thornton Park
Pastel houses, rainbow crosswalks and wine bars with string lights. It’s close to downtown but has a quieter, more polished boho vibe.
You’ll see just as many dogs as people on any given day, but neighborhood cat Lulu is the official unofficial mayor.
Curry Ford West
An emerging gem south of the Milk. Familyfriendly (i.e., bigger and almost affordable houses) with an indie edge. You’ll find Latin bakeries, coffee spots and breweries, and a growing arts scene without the downtown price tag.
SoDo (South of Downtown)
Big-box retail shops meet a commuter-friendly core. Less about vibes, more about convenience. A massive Target, 24-hour gyms, medical offices surrounding Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), a boutique hotel and some surprisingly good restaurants within easy reach of all of Central Florida.
Parramore
One of Orlando’s historically Black neighborhoods, with deep community roots and evolving development. Close to Creative Village and Amway Center. Worth exploring with context and respect.
West Lakes District
Home to Camping World Stadium and a wave of community investment. Still developing its identity, but full of potential and a growing list of small businesses and cultural spaces.
Beyond the Core: Suburban Standouts
Winter Park
Cobblestone charm, Rollins College and the most gourmet farmers market in town. The lush tree canopy is gorgeous, even when it makes cell service challenging. Brunch spots, museums, and boutique shopping make it feel posh but not too precious. The Winter Park chain of lakes = major real estate goals.
Baldwin Park
Master-planned but makes it cute. Walkable streets, lots of strollers, and a very curated suburban lifestyle with its own town center. Feels like a Pinterest board brought to life.
Lake Nona
Shiny-new and deeply HOA-friendly. If you love clean design, high-tech health campuses, and farmers markets with stroller parking, this might be your place. Very car-centric.
Maitland
Low-key and leafy. Feels like a good place to disappear and focus on your work or family. Close to culture (Maitland Art + History, Enzian Theater), less into flash. Commuterfriendly with a sleepy streak.
Altamonte Springs
Big-box stores, fast food and suburban comforts. Craving a mall with parking? It’s here. Great for affordability and access to trails, especially around Cranes Roost Park.
Kissimmee
A tale of two cities: bustling downtown Kissimmee with authentic food and culture, and sprawling short-term rental zones outside the theme parks. Affordable and growing.
Apopka
Feels more small-town than suburb. Growing rapidly but still laid-back. Big yards, nearby springs and a slower pace make it a favorite for nature lovers.
Pro tips:
Don’t pick a place just because it’s close to work. Choose based on your weekend personality — foodie, park lover, music seeker, need green space, or “leave me alone, I’m baking sourdough.”
Not sure where you belong? Start by grabbing a coffee in each of these neighborhoods and watching who else is around. You’ll feel it when you’re home.

You Really Do Need a Car
Orlando is a driving city. Getting around will test your patience, creativity and ability to read parking signs under pressure. It’s not so much that the city is hostile to pedestrians or public transit — it’s just still … figuring it out. Here’s the lowdown on getting from Point A to Point B — and where to stash your car when you do.
Where to park:
Downtown Orlando: Try the Library Garage (112 E. Central Blvd.) or Jefferson Street Garage (62 W. Jefferson St.) for reliable, central parking. Metered street parking is hit-or-miss but plentiful on evenings and weekends.
Mills 50 and Milk District: Street parking is common, but read the signs — some side streets have residents-only hours.
Winter Park: Public garages on Lyman Avenue and New York Avenue are your best bet. College Park: Mostly street parking. Be respectful — this is a walkable neighborhood, but it gets tight on weekends.
Pro tip:
Learn the names of the major toll roads — 408, 417 and 528 — so you don’t get caught by surprise at a tollbooth. And never forget that I-4 is the chaos god of highways, so avoid it during rush hour (which is basically all the time).
Car Essentials for Living in Orlando
1. ParkMobile App
Your new best friend for street parking downtown and around hot spots. Pay meters, extend time remotely and avoid tickets like a local.
2. SunPass or EZ-PASS Transponder
Central Florida loves toll roads — especially the 408, 417 and 528. Get a transponder early so you’re not scrambling for quarters or paying the “gotcha” invoice later.
3. Sunshades & window tint
Your steering wheel will get hot enough to burn your hand by June. A reflective sunshade is non-negotiable, and legal window tint is your new best defense against melting (and leftcheek sunspots).
4. Know your garages
• Downtown: Jefferson Street, Central Boulevard and the Library Garage are solid bets.
• Winter Park: Lyman Avenue and New York Avenue garages are free and shaded.
• Mills 50 & Milk District: Street parking reigns, but read signs carefully.
5. Avoid I-4 when you can
If the Waze route looks too good to be true, it probably involves a 30-minute standstill on I-4. Stick to surface roads when possible — Colonial, Mills, Bumby, Edgewater, Curry Ford.
6. Free windshield replacement
Yes, really. Florida law requires insurance companies to cover windshield repair or replacement with zero deductible. Heat cracks, debris chips and sun damage are all common — so take advantage.
7. Rain-ready driving skills
Afternoon thunderstorms hit fast and hard. Slow down, turn on your headlights (not your hazards!) and leave extra room for braking. Hydroplaning is real here.
8. A solid Spotify playlist Because you’re going to be spending time in traffic. A lot of it.
Alternatives to Driving Lymmo
This is Orlando’s version of a free downtown circulator. Air-conditioned, convenient and surprisingly underused. If you live or work downtown, it’s a lifesaver — plus, it’s free. Use it like a sightseeing loop to get your bearings in the city core.
SunRail
We want to love SunRail. It’s clean, it’s efficient, and it works … if your commute is Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and you’re going north or south. But weekends? Evenings? Only once in a blue moon, during major downtown happenings like 4th of July fireworks or big sporting events. Keep an eye out, because there are whispers about expanding service. Someday.
Pedicabs
Yes, really. On weekend nights in areas like downtown or Milk District, you might spot human-powered transportation. They’re fun
on page 17]
(Chuan Lu Garden)
[continued from page 13]
for short distances and bar-hopping. Tip very well, because those drivers are hustling in 90-degree heat (yes, at night) and traffic.
Biking: Technically possible. Realistically tricky. Orlando has some beautiful trails (Cady Way, Orlando Urban Trail, West Orange Trail), but street cycling infrastructure is inconsistent. Helmets and lights are not optional
Walking: It’s doable in pockets like Thornton Park, Audubon Park and Winter Park, but crossing major roads can feel like a real-life game of Frogger. Be visible, be defensive, and if you’re a driver, yield to pedestrians like someone’s watching. Because someone is.
Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are both active and accessible, though traffic patterns and bad GPS guidance will occasionally send your driver onto I-4, where dreams go to die. Don’t be afraid to request alternate routes. Locals do it all the time.
Neighborhood Vibe Chart
Apps to download on Day One Here’s your digital survival kit:
ParkMobile — for paying meters and avoiding tickets
SunRail app — for checking the schedule (and when not to rely on it)
City of Orlando app — report potholes, get alerts, etc.
AccuWeather — Florida rain has a flair for drama
Citizen or PulsePoint — for emergency or local incident alerts
Instagram — to follow hyper-local accounts (trust us, more on that later)
Pro tip: Add a storm tracker and grocery delivery service of your choice. You’ll need both sooner than you think.
Wellness, Outdoors & Staying Grounded
Moving is stressful. Florida weather is intense. And let’s be honest — between traffic, adjusting to new routines and figuring out how to make friends, it’s easy to let your well-being take a back seat. But Orlando has a surprisingly rich ecosystem for staying balanced, active and connected to your body and brain, without having to fully reinvent yourself as a wellness influencer.
Sun-Safe, Storm-Ready
Orlando is one of the sunniest cities in the U.S., but that means sunburns, dehydration and surprise downpours are all part of the package. How to handle the heat:
• Sunscreen every day, no excuses. Even if it’s cloudy, even if you’re “just walking to the car.” Florida sun doesn’t play, and you don’t have a good dermatologist yet.
• Hydration like it’s your part-time job. Water is good, but electrolytes are better, so keep some coconut water or one of those hydrating powder packets on hand for when the heat smacks you mid-errand.
• Dress like a coastal grandma. Think: breezy linen, moisture-wicking fabrics, hats with a brim, and sunglasses that can survive a thunderstorm. Bonus points for a clip-on fan.
Hurricane Prep (aka The Cone of Uncertainty):
Florida’s storm season runs June through November, peaking in August and September. The moment your weather app shows a swirling cone and the spaghetti jumble of potential paths headed this way, here’s what to do:
• Stay calm when the cone shows up. Everyone around you will start buying batteries and baked goods like it’s the end of days. You don’t need to match their panic, just their prep.
• Build a hurricane kit now, not later. Include the basics: a flashlight, books, wine, puzzles, duct tape, 1 gallon of water per person, portable phone charger, back-up plan for WiFi if you work remotely, non-perishable snacks, can opener, battery-powered fan (trust us), crank-up radio, whistle, extra batteries, first aid kit, and hand and body wipes. Throw all this in a plastic bin and shove it in the back of your closet.
• Know your zone. Use the FloridaDisaster.org map to figure out if you’re in a flood zone or an evacuation area. Also, ask your landlord or property manager what they do when a storm hits.
• Download Florida Storms, AccuWeather and Orange County Alerts. Real-time updates and info will make or break your decision to eat all your hurricane snacks at once.
Get Outside Without Losing Your Mind
When the weather cooperates, Orlando is an underrated paradise for outdoor wandering and solo decompression. Here are a few places that offer quiet, beauty and a break from screen time:
Best spots for solo reflection or quiet mornings:
• Mead Botanical Garden in Winter Park is where you go when you need to breathe deeply and see something green that isn’t a houseplant you forgot to water.
• Dickson Azalea Park is part fairy-tale bridge, part shaded stream trail, part “I can’t believe this is in the middle of the city.”
• Lake Eola at sunrise is surprisingly serene — before the swan boats start squeaking and the brunch crowd shows up, it’s all mist, morning joggers and peace.
Spring-hopping adventures, a Central Florida rite of passage:
Cool off in crystal-clear water that stays a chilly 72 degrees year-round:
• Blue Spring State Park is where you’ll float next to manatees in winter or dive headfirst into 72-degree water in August because your soul needs reviving.
• Rock Springs Run/Kelly Park is the lazy river of your dreams — bring an inner tube, a picnic and an inflated sense of summer nostalgia.
• Wekiwa Springs combines swimming, kayaking and shady trails, with enough space to feel like you’re off the grid even if your phone still works.
Urban trails & hidden nature:
• Cady Way Trail is great for a no-pressure bike ride or dog walk that ends in iced coffee.
• Orlando Urban Trail quietly connects neighborhoods like Ivanhoe and Mills 50 and is ideal for casual walking and eavesdropping on joggers’ podcasts.
• Shingle Creek Regional Trail feels like a secret, especially on weekdays. Lush, peaceful and way less crowded than you might think.
Stay Active, Your Way
You don’t need a gym membership or a Lululemon wardrobe to move your body here. Whether you’re into yoga, roller skating, speed walking or just finding your way back into a routine, there are affordable and accessible ways to stay active.
Movement that feels good:
• Outdoor yoga classes pop up at Lake Eola, Blue Jacket Park, art galleries and random rooftops. Look for donation-based sessions with real humans, not influencers.
• Roller skating at Semoran Skateway is peak nostalgic joy with disco lights, bumpy floors and middle-school energy in the best possible way.
• Orlando Skate Park is a hub for BMX, boards and people who don’t mind a few bruises for fun. Check out UR Mom Skates if you want to share some good vibes with other late bloomers.
• Swimming happens everywhere: your apartment pool, YMCA or community pools all over town. It’s not just for kids — it’s for survival.
• Bike rental and trails are for stress-free weekend loops and will give you that breezy summer-in-a-movie feeling … until the rain rolls in. Still worth it.
Mental health resources for the newly relocated:
• Heart of Florida United Way’s 211 service can help you find therapists, clinics or sliding-scale options when you need support. Text your ZIP code to 898-211.
• UCF Restores is one of the country’s top trauma therapy programs, and they work with civilians, not just students or veterans.
Orlando can be a little isolating at first — but if you put your well-being on the calendar, it becomes easier to stay grounded.
Apps Worth the Storage Space
Here’s your digital toolkit for feeling in control, no matter what Central Florida throws your way:
• Citizen sends real-time safety alerts like “fire near your building” or “man yelling at squirrels on Mills.” Choose your level of engagement.
• AccuWeather is more reliable than your iPhone’s weather app and comes in clutch for summer storms that show up out of nowhere.
• Orange County Alerts is the official feed of emergency info — less drama, more actual updates.
• Florida Storms is a free app made by real meteorologists, not an intern named Skyler. Worth it for hurricane season alone.
Too Hot to Function? Here’s Your Indoor Chill List
If the humidity has you questioning all your life choices (and wardrobe), you’re not alone. Here’s where to go when it’s 97° by 10 a.m. and you’re sweating in places you didn’t know had pores.
The library (no, really)
The Downtown Orlando Public Library has AC that hits different, a zine collection, quiet corners and rotating exhibits. Go read something analog and feel superior.
Enzian Theater Indie films, AC that works overtime and Eden Bar out front for post-movie decompression. Go for the movie, stay for the vibe.
Orlando Museum of Art or Mennello Museum
Art + air conditioning = culture without sunburn. Great for a solo afternoon or a low-pressure date.
Primrose Lanes Bowling Retro and recently reopened, it’s a solid group hang when no one wants to be outdoors. Plus, they’re geographically accessible and serve decent, if pricey, drinks.
Target, IKEA or East End Market You’re not technically shopping — you’re just walking around and enjoying the AC. Bonus points if you leave without buying a candle or another plant.

Social Life, Dating Finding&Your People
So you’ve unpacked, figured out how to not sweat through your clothes (kind of), and found your go-to taco spot. Now what? Whether you’re brand-new to the city or just new to having a social life outside of college or work, building your people network here can feel a bit awkward. The good news? Orlando has a strong community spirit once you scratch the surface. You just have to know where to look.
Low-key ways to meet people without the awkward small talk — try:
StarterStudio and Black Orlando Tech
Creative co-working spaces where networking feels more like, “Hey, want to grab a drink after this workshop?” and less like a nametag convention. Whether you’re already looking for venture capital or still seeking your big idea, you’ll find your people here.
FamiLab and the Melrose Center
Hidden gems for makers, tinkerers and curious minds. These creative spaces offer tool shares as well as workshops in woodworking, laser-cutting, 3-D printing, podcasting and more — ideal for anyone who likes building stuff and community.
The Pottery Studio and the Crealdé School of Art
Want to get your hands dirty, learn something new and meet other hands-on locals along the way? The Pottery Studio, run by the City of Orlando, is a low-pressure, highly social way to shape clay and conversation in equal measure. No experience needed — just curiosity. When you’re ready to get more serious, Crealdé’s ceramics classes will level you up.
Groups that turn strangers into friends — join:
The Collective board game nights
Weekly game nights that pull in all kinds of people — from casual players to full-blown strategists. Bonus: It’s easy to join a table without needing a partner. (thecollectivecomics.com)
Orlando Sport & Social Club and OUT Sports League
This is your gateway to kickball, beach volleyball, cornhole and other low-stakes team sports that are really just a fun excuse to meet new people and hit happy hour afterward. (orlandoclubsport.com, outsportsleague.com)
Dog parks
Lake Baldwin, Park of the Americas and Barber Dog Park aren’t just for the pups — they’re hubs of spontaneous conversation. Even if your dog is shy, you won’t be for long.
Meetup.com (weirdly still going strong)
From hiking clubs to crafting circles to casual language exchanges, Orlando’s Meetup scene is alive and well. It’s especially useful if you’re looking for hyper-niche interests or want to test out different social energies. Feeling bold or not finding what you’re into? Start your own!
Do good, feel good, meet people — volunteer:
Second Harvest Food Bank
One of the city’s largest and most impactful volunteer hubs. Shifts are short, the vibe is friendly, and you’ll walk away feeling like part of something meaningful.
IDEAS for Us
A sustainability nonprofit with roots in Orlando and branches around the world. Join a garden build, clean-up event or community class and meet people who care deeply about the future of this place.
Local arts groups
From ushering at the Orlando Shakes to helping set up for a local gallery night, arts nonprofits like United Arts are always looking for volunteers — and you might just walk away with free tickets or a new favorite artist. The Kitchen Garden (formerly Edible Education Experience)
Whether you’re tending herbs, supporting youth cooking classes or helping with seasonal events, it’s a joyful, grounded way to give back to the community while learning something new (and delicious) along the way.
For the artists
• Drop into CityArts downtown on a 3rd Thursday, or attend a FAVO Art Stroll on the first weekend of each month.
• Apply your creative vision to paper and meet others at the Sketchbook Club (instagram.com/sketchbookcluborlando).
• Weekly open mic nights at Austin’s Coffee in Winter Park are the stuff of indie legend. The coffeehouse’s lease is in peril, though, so get in while you still can.
For the sporty
• Cheer for Orlando City SC (MLS) and Orlando Pride (NWSL) at Exploria Stadium.
• Catch an Orlando Magic game at Kia Center — yes, people still go, and it’s fun, even if you’re not into sports.
• UCF Knights football games are a huge part of fall life in Orlando. (Charge on!)
For the socially conscious
• Join climate activism events through IDEAS for Us or Fleet Farming.
• Plug into LGBTQ+ youth or Latinx advocacy via Contigo Fund or Zebra Coalition.
• Intersect art and activism at local events like FusionFest or Come Out With Pride.
Dating in Orlando: Real Talk
Here’s the truth: dating in Orlando is a mixed bag. The city’s transient energy (lots of college students, park employees and tech workers just passing through) means some people are here for a good time, but not a long time. But there’s also a deep well of creatives, professionals and genuine humans who do want to meet their person.
Who’s here?
• Disney and Universal people (they’re great, but know their work schedules are no joke)
• Engineers and medical workers (hello, UCF and Lake Nona)
• Artists and musicians (check out Mills 50 and the Milk District by night, and the Winter Park area around Full Sail University at lunchtime)
• Tech professionals and freelancers (usually living around downtown or Baldwin Park)
• Enzian Theater: indie films + Eden Bar twinkle lights = romance fuel
Rawdogging the City (aka Life Without a Phone)
Let’s address the term first. Yep, it’s started being used to describe, um, something else: going out without your phone. And while it’s … attention-grabbing, it does capture something real. In a world of Google Maps and endless scroll, Orlando is a great place to disconnect and wander. Here’s how:
Farmers markets: Winter Park on Saturday, Lake Eola on Sunday or Audubon Park on Monday — browse fresh produce and people without distraction.
Vinyl shops: Dig through crates at Remix, Park Ave CDs or Foundation Records and actually listen to what’s playing.
Film screenings: Try Enzian’s Uncomfortable Brunch — what better way to lock eyes with a stranger than looking away from the same unsettling cinematic moment?
Walking loops: Lake Baldwin’s paved trail and Dickson Azalea Park both give big “main character without a phone” energy.
What to Do When You Miss Your Old City
Every transplant gets homesick. When you’re craving your old neighborhood coffee shop or that Korean spot you went to every Thursday, start here:
Find your comfort food: Asian? Head to Pho 88, Sticky Rice, Anh Hong, Kaya, Shin Jung, Edoboy or Mamak in Mills 50, Chuan Fu in Winter Park, Surah in Dr. Phillips, or any of the restaurants at Orlando Chinatown on West Colonial Drive. Spicy? Kabab King, Mirchi Indian Street Food or Singh’s Roti Shop in West Orlando. Vegan? Earthy Picks downtown, Market on South in the (Oat) Milk District or Leguminati in Curry Ford West.
For the outdoorsy
• Rent a paddleboard at Lake Ivanhoe, or float through Wekiva Springs on the weekend.
• Bike the Orlando Urban Trail, which connects downtown to Ivanhoe Village and Mills 50.
• Take a guided moonlight kayak tour or go trail running at Split Oak Forest.
Good first date spots that aren’t boring:
• The Neighbors: a design-y upstairs bar in East End Market with moody lighting and local wine.
• Lake Eola picnic + swan boat combo: Yes, it’s cheesy. Yes, it works.
• Mathers Social Gathering or Sunroom: great drinks, better people-watching.
Curl up in indie cafés: Lineage Coffee Roasting, Stemma Craft Coffee, Deeply Café and Framework Craft Coffee House all serve excellent beans with no pressure to rush.
Take in the arts:
Check out shows at Timucua Arts or the Dr. Phillips Center, and attend annual fests like Orlando Fringe and Immerse, the outdoor arts takeover of downtown Orlando.
Culture, Events & Local Legends
Now that you’ve settled in, sweated through your first summer and maybe met a few new humans, it’s time to tap into the soul of the city — what Orlando really is when you’re not looking at it through a theme park lens. The real magic here happens in indie theaters, in front of murals, on porches and sometimes inside a sweaty karaoke bar with perfect lighting. Here’s how to find it.
Orlando’s Cultural Calendar (and Where to Be Seen)
Orlando’s event scene is a wild mix of DIY brilliance, high-production festivals and very niche obsessions (there’s an annual Pints n’ Paws beer fest for dogs up in Sanford). These annual anchors are where locals show up, show off, and show you what the city is made of:
Orlando Fringe Festival (May)
The longest-running fringe fest in the U.S. and the ultimate local flex for weird, wild, independent performance art. Go for the shows, stay for the beer tent.
Come Out With Pride (October)
Our Pride parade is bold, joyful and deeply community-rooted. It’s one of the most affirming days of the year, and the afterparties are no joke.
Immerse Festival (February)
Think projection art on downtown buildings, pop-up performances, and immersive experiences that make you feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s dream. It’s weird in the best way.
Florida Film Festival (April)
Hosted at the iconic Enzian Theater, it’s a must for cinephiles. Screens indie features, documentaries and shorts you won’t see anywhere else.
FusionFest (Thanksgiving Weekend)
A multicultural celebration of Orlando’s global roots — expect international food stalls, music, dance, fashion and real-deal connection.
Maker Faire Orlando (November)
Giant robots, DIY science projects and kids way smarter than you — it’s chaos, and it’s awesome.
Local Media and News You’ll Actually Use
Forget national headlines — here’s who actually tells you what’s happening in your ZIP code.
Orlando Weekly: Culture, food, local politics and spicy takes you’ll agree with out loud, plus awesome self-produced events, a massive local listings calendar and a daily newsletter.

Pick one day — preferably a day when your screen time report has shamed you — and try this no-phone, no-scroll, full-senses Orlando sampler:
Start with breakfast at Buttermilk Bakery, where the croissants speak louder than your inbox.
Hit a few thrift shops in the Milk District or Audubon Park and let yourself browse without checking Yelp reviews.
Pick up a print edition of Orlando Weekly and read about your city without hyperlinks, other people’s comments or random video pop-ups. (Bonus: useful local advertising.)
Lunch at Beefy King for an old Orlando experience that’s as real as it gets.
Go record shopping at Remix or Park Ave CDs. Ask the person behind the counter what’s good.
Kayak at Lake Baldwin, stand-up paddleboard on Lake Ivanhoe or rent an e-bike and ride the Cady Way Trail. Be where your feet (or wheels) are.
Plan to meet up with a friend and actually show up. No texts, no “on my way.” Just be there.
Welcome, for real.
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! You now officially know more about living in Orlando than most people who’ve been here for years. You know where to park, where to paddleboard, who to follow and how to spot a Pub sub in the wild.
But more importantly, you know how to start. How to find your way in a city that’s always changing but still deeply rooted in community, creativity, and a kind of slow, sweaty, stubborn magic.
Orlando isn’t a place that shows itself all at once. It reveals itself
“What
I Wish I Knew”
Quotes and advice from (now) Orlando locals about what they wish they knew before arriving in Orlando.
“Live someplace where you don’t have to drive on I-4 every day.” — Rick Kilby
“Take your time and don’t be a super tourist trying to do everything at once. There is a community for every hobby, just dig a little.” — Jehue Francois
“Get away from the chain stores and restaurants and visit local small businesses. There’s so much great stuff in Orlando. Don’t come here and just go to Olive Garden or TJ Maxx.” — Stephanie Hirschfeld
“The real beauty of Orlando is found in its neighborhoods. Don’t miss out on exploring each one.” — Jim Leatherman
“I would suggest experiencing Orlando’s art and culture scene because the city has so much more to offer than being the theme park capital of the world.” — Sandra Dee Carr
“A rebirth and resurgence in Pine Hills. Goat head soup! Oxtail stew! For some true excitement, head north to Apopka and bag some local coffee beans at a new cafe while sipping next to an alligator or peacock.” — Quan Nguyen
“Food comes first. Prop up small and amazing spots. Kaya and Kadence at the top and so many more on the $ scale south of there. Sticky Rice, Edoboy, any banh mi spot. Mills Market is amazing. For art, obviously FAVO. We actually get a lot of happy newcomers to this day. The Space Station has great events if your timing is lucky.” — Richard Munster
slowly, through long conversations at coffee counters, late-night festivals in parking lots, surprise friendships that start in roller rinks or dog parks. So take your time. Get a little lost.
Welcome to Orlando. You’re gonna love it here.
THEY’RE TOO SHREKXY
The
performers of Cherry Bonbon
Productions give the Shrek-verse a naughty burlesque twist … now with added bingo
BY LOLA FONTANEZ
It’s not often that you hear “Shrek” and “burlesque” in the same sentence — but the “Let’s Get Shrekxy” burlesque show hosted by Cherry Bonbon Productions has taken the Orlando scene by storm.
In honor of six years of Hourglass Brewing here in Orlando, founder of the production company Cherry Bonbon is bringing a new spin on their “Let’s Get Shrekxual” show for the anniversary party. The 18-and-up burlesque and bingo event is
already sold out for July 12, but there are limited tickets still available for the next edition on Aug. 22.
After falling down a rabbit hole bingeing the many Shrek movies, shorts and shows, Bonbon found herself struck by the pervasive nostalgia for the early 2000s icon. She quickly realized that she was not the only one of her generation with a strange attachment to the animated swamp creature. And Shrek seems to be just as popular as ever, as evidenced by folks getting turned away at
the door at previous sold-out Let’s Get Shrekxuals at Conduit. “ Most of our families dragged us [to the movie] for one reason or another, and whether we loved it or hated it, it still is in our brains,” says Bonbon.“And now they’re on Shrek 5, so it’s clearly stuck around.”
The event will be a massive bingo game hosted by the not-so-lean, green, swamp machine, Shrek himself. King River Glass will star and emcee as Shrek, telling jokes and stories as the bingo game proceeds. When a lucky winner calls bingo, a Shrekxy burlesque performer will take the stage and the winner will receive a prize pack based around a character from the series. New performers will also join in the fun, like Gingy at this weekend’s show and Jessica Nova as Puss in Boots in August.
For her part, Bonbon entered the world of burlesque over a decade ago, founding her own production company, Speakeasy Sirens, where she found steady success and became a crowd favorite in the nerd-lesque scene for years. Over a year ago, she rebranded her troupe as Cherry Bonbon Productions, embracing fandom culture and freewheeling burlesque shows featuring your favorite fictional characters.
“The burlesque scene is a bunch of theater kids

OUT
who just take their clothes off,” Bonbon explains. “ This shit ain’t Shakespeare — there’s so many people who look at this art form and take it far too seriously. I’ve performed as a Furby on stage before.”
Bonbon hopes to challenge her audience’s preconceptions when it comes to burlesque. With clever riffs on fandoms and iconic animated characters that the broader population is familiar with, she and the troupe have developed a kind of “intro” burlesque show for those who may be unfamiliar with the art form.
“ Those things, I think, make it accessible for people who have never seen burlesque before, or might be intimidated to go because the show might be, like, hypersexualized to them,” says Bonbon.
“There’s so many different styles of burlesque and I think people need to be more open to letting things just be fun and letting themselves have fun.”
When putting together her troupe, Bonbon has worked to emphasize diversity and inclusion in the shows. The burlesque they perform is not strictly bound by the canon of the stories or characters they adapt, instead they use the characters as launching points for individual creativity and play. And crucially, she strives to foster acceptance and creativity within her troupe, no matter what her performers might look like.
“There’s a lot of body types that are excluded and a lot of people who are excluded for nothing related to their talent or their want to work. It’s something they can’t control, so I try and give them a space where they can safely perform,” says Bonbon. “ Almost every single show, we will have people come up to us and say, ‘I didn’t think that this is something that I could do … seeing a different body on that stage makes me feel this is a possibility.’”
This mission reaches far beyond our Orlando community, with Bonbon and Nova’s “Hell Hotel Show,” a Hazbin Hotel-themed burlesque show that launched locally and now tours the country, accumulating more than 20,000 followers on their TikTok page in the process.
“ Being able to have people around the country who want to pay us to go take our weird and crazy art, it’s a fever dream,” says Bonbon.
Cherry Bonbon Productions has upcoming shows based around the videogame “Baldur’s Gate” in Tampa and the aforementioned Hazbin Hotel show in Winter Park. They’re even working on developing a new show based on the “Date Everything!” videogame dating simulator.
“ There’s no limitations to burlesque,” says Bonbon, “whether that be performance, style, accessibility, body type — there’s no limitations.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

We talk to Disney Legend Tom Nabbe, who practically grew up on Tom Sawyer Island, about the closure of parts of Frontierland
The dust from Epic Universe’s debut has barely settled, and already Universal is expanding their new park with additional dining venues set to open in early 2026. But don’t think that Disney is taking their competitor’s growth spurt lying down, because Mickey’s empire is striking back. In the short term, Walt Disney World is banking on a refreshed EPCOT E-Ticket and fresh live entertainment to woo summer guests; and in the longer run, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District recently green-lit growth plans for a fifth major theme park (and a doubling of WDW’s annual visitors) by 2045. Of course, this great big beautiful tomorrow will come at a cost, and the latest loss beneath the grinding wheels of progress strikes straight at the heart of the Magic Kingdom.
While Walt Disney World hasn’t built a full new land, much less an entire park, since the pre-pandemic opening of Galaxy’s Edge, an ambitious slate of upgrades for all four parks was announced at 2024’s D23 Expo, and the first few are finally coming to fruition. Disney Starlight, the Magic Kingdom’s first brand-new nighttime parade in decades, begins running twice nightly on July 20. The newly reimagined Test Track officially opens two days later. I haven’t yet seen the former, but I was invited to a press preview of the latter’s latest iteration. Following the industrial 1999 original and the Tron-esque 2012 version, this third take on Test Track tries to take a page from the World of Motion dark ride that stood on that spot throughout the 1980s by tearing down the tacky scaffolding that obscured the building’s unique cylindrical architecture and reopening windows within the queue, both for daylight and for previews of the ride vehicles.
Test Track’s track remains identical, but the scenery alongside it has been rebuilt with
impressively detailed sets (with a few conspicuous dead spots) depicting city streets, suburban garages and a forested freeway. Test Track has also gained a few fantastic video projection effects, and fleeting fan-servicing nods to Buddy Baker’s “It’s Fun to Be Free” theme song. However, the update abandons any attempts at interactivity or education, from the queue, which no longer offers any preshow or information about the concept cars on display, through the post-show, now strictly a Chevrolet showroom. It’s still exhilarating taking hairpin turns at 65 mph, but I no longer understand our purpose in the storyline, being a passive consumer, and making this more “Test Track 2.5” than the generational advancement I’d hoped for.
Sadly, these new arrivals are accompanied by the exit of some old favorites. The June 7 closure of MuppetVision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to make way for a Monsters Inc. area made national headlines, as former Orlando resident Heather Henson (youngest daughter of Muppets originators Jim and Jane Henson) was the last guest to enter her late father’s final creation. Last Sunday’s shuttering of Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Belle riverboat, along with the Magic Kingdom’s entire Rivers of America area, didn’t garner nearly as much media attention, but the loss of those landmarks — all key to Walt Disney’s original conception of the park — is potentially even more impactful.
There’s great anticipation for the off-roading Cars adventure coming to Piston Peak, where the Twain-inspired oasis of twisty tunnels and claustrophobic caves now stands (especially since the latest concept art preserves a significant stretch of waterfront) and the Villains Land promised beyond it. Even so, that hasn’t stopped TSI superfans (some of whom I suspect haven’t set foot on
its shores in years) from protesting its removal online, so I asked the one person on Earth who should care more about Tom Sawyer Island’s extinction than anyone.
On the morning of June 18, I had the honor of watching as Disney Legend Tom Nabbe took his final raft ride over to the attraction he helped build and manage. Seventy years ago next week, 12-year-old Nabbe attended Disneyland’s opening, then went back the following day to get a job selling park newspapers. A year later, he convinced Walt Disney to cast him as Tom Sawyer on the then-new attraction, and worked there until he outgrew the role and moved into operations. That turned into a career that took him to the construction sites of both Walt Disney World (where he opened the monorail and Florida’s TSI) and Disneyland Paris.
As one of Disneyland’s last living opening-year employees, who literally grew up around Tom Sawyer Island, you’d expect Nabbe to be bereft, but he isn’t merely philosophical about the area’s future; he’s enthusiastic. “There’s a lot of memories here, but conversely, if you look at the acreage here — and this comes from the operations management side of the business — what they’re going to plan in the future, the guest capacity for this acreage is going to go up,” Nabbe told me after his farewell float across the river. “If they do as well in the development of Piston Peak as they did in [New] Fantasyland … if they do half as good on that, I’ll be very impressed with the end results.”
In fact, Nabbe expressed only one regret about his last visit.“I wish they would have let me drive, because I could have,” says Nabbe, who recalls piloting jazz greats Louis Armstrong and Al Hirt across the Rivers. “I could have reached that raft right in there, no problem whatsoever.”

FISH SCHTICK
Web-famous Maitland sushi spot surfs a wave of novelty to success
BY MICHAEL MURPHY
Sushi burgers. Sushi pizzas. Sushi burritos, doughnuts, hot dogs and tacos.
Sushi shaped like basketball shoes, formula race cars and Baby Yoda. Half a million Instagram followers; nearly 800K on TikTok. Although the bricks and mortar of its brick-andmortar may not suggest it, when you walk into Wave Sushi, you’ve entered a phenomenon. Wave (styled WAVE) is the brainchild of owner and chef Jonathan McKinney, whose funhouse of break-the-rules sushi was an escape from the creative limitations of his former family workplace. His first location opened in Mount Dora in 2017 and social media instantly wet its pants
— the restaurant’s Wonka-esque mashups of rice and sea stuff are eminently ’grammable.
Although quirky trumped quality at my last meal in Mount Dora, I wiped memory and palate clean before visiting Wave’s second location in Maitland. The brightly muraled but no-frills cubby of a space is housed in the Maitland Social food hall. It’s fast-casual basic in the most familiar way: counter ordering, bins of plastic utensils and Kikkoman packets, numbered table stands, a soda fountain — elevated sweatpants dining.
In contrast, Wave’s menu is anything but basic, a celebration of whimsical maximalism, a circus
of munchie showmanship — and when you go to the circus, you dance with the bear in the tutu. I ordered the “OG” Crunch Wrap ($30), a freakshow of giant thingness and homage to Taco Bell that can be made even more ridiculous by ordering a coating of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Picture a deep-fried Japanese muffuletta with the bread replaced by a thin nori crisp. I grimaced while ordering but grinned while eating, losing myself in its sloppy excess. The goodies inside the nori were fresh, texturally compelling and well balanced, with the correct (restrained) amount of rice, quality tuna and krab with a K, the smoothness of avocado and cream cheese cut by cucumber, and a gentle pop of masago. A spicy salmon burger ($21.50) also pleased. Even if its loose fish mix didn’t shout fresh-fromthe-sea, the interplay of cool, piquant salmon and hot, crispy rice “bun” ate well. Less successful was a softshell crab taco ($14). Although its tempura-fried nori shell held a tasty bite of leggy, sweet crustacean, it remained a one-note tune of fried-on-fried-on-starch with a layer of sweetish seaweed salad that struggled to harmonize.
Wave’s menu also features a smattering of worth-a-go, straight-ahead tastes: gyoza, edamame, shishitos, poke bowls and sushi rolls. Of the normie fare, we opted for a pork belly bao ($9), lifted by flavorful belly, let down by slightly gummy bao; and a “love roll” ($13) surprising in its perfection — the uramaki combo of tuna, yellowtail and avocado undeniably fresh and, like everything we ate at Wave, a wonder to behold.
There is a lot to like at Wave and some off-menu realities bound to aggravate. For instance, a 3 percent credit card service charge will undoubtedly raise some hackles, and parking can occasionally be a problem. For me, both were acceptably priced inconvenience tickets for what were solid meals, and both were hushed by half-price sake Wednesdays.
You likely know the phrase “dirty good.” Queso dip and Funyuns are dirty good, and Wave impresses similarly. It manages to push beyond its gimmickry in the crunchiest, sauciest, tastiest, best-enjoyed-with-a-bong-hit way. And our meals did feel quite epic-sesh, visually surreal, almost Claymation-cartoonish. I half expected an anthropomorphic grumble from my crunch wrap: “Eat me, dummy.” It is all wonderfully weird, marinated in irony, and bound to appeal to those to whom those things appeal (hand raised). Liked, commented and subscribed.

GARNI CAFÉ
Garni Café isn’t trying to be Orlando’s version of Balthazar, Frenchette or Bouchon, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a look. Executive chef Guillaume Robin received a Maîtres Cuisiniers de France (Master Chef of France) title this year, and dishes like steak tartare (prepared tableside), escargots and gnocchi a la Parisienne are deftly prepared. Profiteroles are a sure-fire ending. (reviewed June 25) 6100 Wave Hotel Drive, 407-675-2000, garnicafelakenona.com, $$$$
NURI’S TAVERN
Team Market Group chef-scientists Jason Campbell and Nick Grecco spent months researching and testing 20-plus dough variations to perfect Nuri’s tavern-style pizza recipe. The result: thin, cracklycrusted pizzas of the highest order. They’re offered in 12-inch rounds that are “party-cut.” The vodka pie, as well as the pepperoni and jalapeño with sweet-sticky chili crisp, are can’t-miss, but don’t pass on the incredible wings, chopped salad or crispy eggplant. Save room for soft-serve. Closed Mondays. (reviewed June 18) 63 E. Pine St., 321206-0080, nuristavern.com, $$$
MIRCHI INDIAN STREET FOOD
Some of the finest Indian street fare is being served out of this wildly polychromatic restaurant in Winter Garden, from infernal chicken 65 to dahi batata pani puri. Both vada pav and pav bhaji should be on any heat-loving vegetarian’s regular rotation. A creamy cup of chai and rabdi jalebi make soothing endings. Closed Mondays. (reviewed June 11) 1021 S.

RAWSHA MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE
Iraqi cuisine in the form of kebabs, dips and shawarma draw an eclectic bunch to this Turkey Lake Road diner. Of note are ridiculously succulent Iraqi kebabs fashioned from lamb, lamb fat and a secret blend of spices, or baharat. A mixed
grill highlighted by flavor-packed chicken kofta is another must-order, as is beef shawarma. Hummus veers toward the creamier side and baba ghanouj isn’t heavy on the smoke. Pair with calming Iraqi cardamom tea. Open daily. (reviewed June 4) 8956 Turkey Lake Road, 407-725-0062, rawsharestaurant.com, $$$
NATSU OMAKASE
North Quarter omakase house delivers one of the most pleasing, and relatively affordable, tasting menu options in town.

TAMALE CO. MODERN MEXICAN KITCHEN & BAR
Tamale Co.’s tamales are always a draw, but there’s so much else to enjoy at their festive College Park kitchen. Their torta Milanesa will draw comparisons to the street sammies served in Mexico City, but don’t overlook the queso frito, birria empanadas served on a miniature clothesline, or the pear, apple and goat cheese salad with caramelized pecans and cranberries inspired by the version served at Del Bosque Restaurante in CDMX.

Poofy loukoumades drizzled in honey with walnuts and portokalopita, a Greek orange cake, are best enjoyed with Greek coffee. Open daily. (reviewed May 7) 111 S.

Premieres Friday:
Almost Cops — A special investigating officer who goes by the book and a cop who’s more of a loose cannon may be the unlikeliest pairing in the history of Dutch law enforcement, but they won’t let that stop them from cracking an all-important case.

Sakamoto Days — In Part 2 of Season 1, the former master hitman has to combat not one but two deadly adversaries if he wants to protect his new life as a humble convenience store proprietor. It’s three adversaries if you count the cheap hot dogs at Costco. (Netflix)

Trainwreck: Balloon Boy — Believe it or not, it was less than 20 years ago that a family like the Heenes of Colorado could end up public pariahs just because their son, Falcon, blurted out on live television that they had engineered his supposed ordeal aboard a runaway flying saucer.

Friday the 13th actor and rocker Ari Lehman talks new music, genre fluidity
BY JUNO LE
It’s been 45 years since the world met “the boy in the lake,” when the 1980 horror classic Friday the 13th released in theaters. But Jason Voorhees is now all grown up and touring with his metal band, First Jason.
The band’s frontman and leading man is Ari Lehman, the songwriter, keytarist and actor best known for playing the first Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th. Think of a heavy metal version
and water safety
of Weird Al Yankovic and you’ve got Lehman. Lehman — “pronounced like demon,” he tells Orlando Weekly — and the rest of the First Jason band will be debuting their new set, a four-act saga focusing on Voorhees matriarch Pamela, young and grown-up (slashy) versions of Jason, and Lehman himself.
“We have a lot of fun with the characters telling the stories and trying to do as much audience

system. If Jason had used the buddy system, none of this would’ve happened,” Lehman says.
Lehman got his start in music by practicing classical and jazz piano, studying big band orchestration at New York University. He eventually shifted gears and toured across the U.S. and abroad with reggae and worldbeat bands.
“I’m a great believer in genre fluidity,” Lehman says. “I think everyone should be genre-fluid and not try to box anybody in, just like everyone does nowadays.”
The First Jason fanbase, which Lehman describes as undeniably eccentric, is primarily made up of people he’s met through horror conventions, avid horror fiends who collect memorabilia of the classics.
When Lehman became active on the convention circuit, he was introduced to the overlapping metal and horror communities.
“It dawned on me how every metalhead and every punk is a horror fan, and there’s so much great hard rock, you know, Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie … Ghost and Ice Nine Kills, who I’ve opened for several times. So, yeah, I just started this idea of First Jason, where I’m the lead singer, the guy who played Jason,” Lehman explains. Lehman describes First Jason’s sound as a Motörhead-meets-Misfits vibe, with influences from Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
Connecting with metal and punk communities opened doors for Lehman creatively, and he’s recently been inspired by the likes of reggae and Talking Heads.
interaction as possible. So this will be the first time that we will be presenting the new set, which is designed to tell that tale and what we’re working up to,” says Lehman.
What the band is “working up to” is the release of their new album, Into the Fray.
“It’s got seven new songs. Cam Schwarz had a great idea. He said to reach out to Harry Manfredini, the soundtrack composer of Friday the 13th — and Harry is the most amazing person in the world. He sent us seven instrumental overtures so each song is preceded by a one-minute or a little longer cinematic overture, which is just so amazing, and the record sounds great,” Lehman says.
Friday the 13th, Lehman says, is a summer movie at its core, so a July show in the Sunshine State fits the film’s original spirit. “Really, Friday the 13th is all about water safety. Jason forgot to use the buddy system. You gotta use the buddy
“I listen to so much music. Music just turns me on,” Lehman says. “When we process these ideas that turn us on so much, you know, not to make a carbon copy but process the music musically, I think that’s when we really do come up with the best stuff.”
The fire fueling First Jason is the loyal Friday the 13th fanbase. Lehman’s seen all the cosplay of people dressed as Jason, the counselors of Camp Crystal Lake, Mrs. Voorhees and all the mundane characters who make up the franchise. He’s met fans at meet-and-greets who gush about how often they rewatch the films.
“It’s always blown me away how much Friday the 13th and Jason Voorhees truly means to people, young people, people of all generations, people with different challenges and different things and how Jason just inspires them somehow,” Lehman says. “It’s uncanny. I can’t define it, but I know that I’ve gotta be there for those people, and they’re always there for me.” music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
Garage punk, pop punk, chain punk, egg punk, crust punk, hardcore… uggghhh , the taxonomy can get exhausting to the point of meaninglessness. Jesus, don’t even get me started on the tribal politics. Can we please just get some pure punk rock without the factionalism? Turns out we can, and Orlando band The Hamiltons are it.
The Hamiltons — the foursome of Robert English (lead vocals, guitar), John Koroshetz (bass, vocals), Josh Gibson (lead guitar) and Waylon Thornton (drums) — don’t conveniently fit into any of the punk cliques. And to their credit, they don’t seem to aspire toward it either. No leather jackets, liberty spikes or anything obvious like that here. Instead, they ditch the frills and just shoot straight for the essence of punk.
Although The Hamiltons have been around since 1998, much has precluded them from momentum. There’ve been extended recesses due to heavy things like substance abuse, incarceration and the tragic death of founding member Ralph Ameduri. Despite that, The Hamiltons have in recent years finally become a consistent scene force in terms of shows and output. Now, after some smaller releases, they’ve at last dropped their first full album.
That lack of haste has allowed The Hamiltons to make this full-length debut with the execution and craft of veterans. Their brand-new FLA album — produced by acclaimed locals Chris Jay and Jarrett Pritchard — is a fully cooked, powerfully rendered work from a band that knows who they are and what they do well. From the songwriting to the playing to the production,

Can we just get some pure punk rock without the factionalism?
Turns out we can, and Orlando band The Hamiltons are it
everyone involved understands both the mission and the terrain.
The Hamiltons are about force, not fashion. As such, FLA keeps true and tight to the band’s fiber, going all in on their lean muscle with zero indulgence in superfluous embellishment. It’s 12 tracks of rugged American rock that merges the blunt-force brutalism of hardcore, the crude animalism of noise rock and just some straightup rock guts. The sum total is a pure, undiluted full-length document of The Hamiltons. For a band that’s been around for decades despite mountainous odds, it’s deliverance. FLA now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
The Waymores, Sean Holcomb: If it ain’t broke, don’t fuck with it. Classic Atlanta duo The Waymores understand this maxim. It’s why their neo-traditionalist country songs have that shine of newly buffed nostalgia. Between the honeyed voices of Kira Annalise and Willie Heath Neal are loving echoes of the great honky-tonk duets. This is a golden sound whose soul predates the term “Americana” by decades. Opening will be
Orlando’s own country bard, Sean Holcomb. (7 p.m. Thursday, July 10, Will’s Pub, $15)
Ouija Macc, Sinizter: If you don’t have the time for some shock in your rock then you are thinking way too hard and are probably a wet blanket to everyone around you. Those open to a little over-the-top theater, however, should make plans to see Vegas rapper Ouija Macc. The fact that he’s inspired by and affiliated with Insane Clown Posse is a big, fat, Faygo-red X that shows exactly where on the freak map he stands. All of which, of course, means that this show will be dark, ridiculous and nuts. Opening will be Atlanta trap-metal act Sinizter. (7 p.m. Friday, July 11, Conduit, $26.91)
Susto Stringband: Over the past decade, Charleston county-rock band Susto have become one of the best, most underrated roots acts alive, with exceptionally gorgeous songs and lyrics that are at once gripping, offbeat and poignant. Now, one of Americana’s most authentically alternative songwriters surprises again with a sharp purist turn as Susto Stringband. This new guise is a Carolina union of Susto principal Justin Osborne and old-time Asheville string band Holler Choir. In it, Osborne’s evocative songs get the full Appalachian bluegrass treatment. Released this spring on New West Records, their excellent debut album Susto Stringband: Vol. 1 reworked seven of Susto’s best songs alongside two new compositions. And the results are pure mountain soul. Come get a first live glimpse of a fresh twist on Susto’s genius. (8 p.m. Friday, July 11, Tuffy’s Music Box, $29.44) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

The Warning
Mexican rock band The Warning is coming to the House of Blues as part of their Keep Me Fed World Tour. Formed in 2013 in Monterrey, the band consists of the Villarreal Vélez sisters: Daniela (guitar, vocals), Paulina (drums, vocals) and Alejandra (bass, backing vocals). They gained international attention in 2014 when their video covering Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” went viral, amassing more than 26 million views. Since then, The Warning has released four studio albums and two EPs. Their latest, Keep Me Fed, dropped in June and led to a performance in Times Square on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as MTV Push artists. The hard-rock trio has shared the stage with notables like Muse, Halestorm and Guns N’ Roses. So get ready for a night of pure rock energy, because these sisters play for keeps. 7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, houseofblues. com/orlando, $27.50-$75. — Lola Fontanez
SATURDAY, JULY 12
Jessie Reyez
Orlandoans with particularly long pop memory banks will remember Jessie Reyez as having the unfortunate distinction of opening for Billie Eilish at the Kia Center right before the COVID lockdown kicked in and derailed the tour — and the world. Reyez used her pandemic time to go quiet, keeping off the radar and writing music that would become her breakthrough album, Yessie. But newest album Paid in Memories just might be her masterstroke: a sprawling and ambitious suite of highly personal alt-R&B via hip-hop that boasts features from the likes of Sam Smith and 6lack and samples Smashing Pumpkins. She’s taking these songs out on the road for a 55-date world tour which is already selling out all over. If you need further prodding, peep her lethal Tiny Desk performance courtesy your mom’s favorite radio station, NPR. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock. com, $40.50-$60.50. — Matthew Moyer

With a background in long-form

Like the specials, expect freewheeling premises and characters and (be warned) audience engagement — giving the crowd control of the scenarios.

Meet Harley (A570168), a sweet but intimidating 7-year-old senior. Harley has now been at the shelter for over three months. When he first arrived, he was quiet and shy, and shared his space with other dogs easily. He’s a big dog, but he was respectful and even a little playful. With staff he was goofy, gentle, and would seek out love hungrily. Harley was also a big hugger, and loved being close to people. But as it happens, time at the shelter can affect the hearts of even the best of dogs.
The sweet Harley that we met tied to that truck has now become frustrated, moody and intolerant of other dogs. With people he is still sweet, but nowhere near as affectionate as he once was. Harley’s become more and more aloof, preferring to spend his yard time alone, sunbathing in the pool and not really seeking out our affections. He reacts strongly to other dogs around him, as if he’s tired or annoyed by all their noise. Whatever strength got him this far is fading, and sadly we think he has started to lose hope. Harley deserves kisses, hugs, long walks and longer naps. He deserves to close out his story spoiled absolutely rotten and surrounded by love. Let’s get him seen. Let’s get him home.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
