SUMMER ESSENTIALS

CLASSICALLY COOL TRY OUT THE FAT DONKEY’S ICE CREAM

We can suggest all sorts of treats, but sometimes it’s good to get some ice cream on a hot summer day. The Fat Donkey in downtown Sarasota is a good pick for that and has some great flavors to choose from, including pink sherbet, which tastes like summer itself.

Pink Sherbet Ice Cream: $6.95 Location: 1461 Main St., Sarasota Call: 260-9531 Website: TheFatDonkey.com

DOGS HOW YOU LIKE THEM DOGGYSTYLE’S SIGNATURE HOT DOGS

Nothing’s quite as American as hot dogs and baseball, and they go well together in the summertime. Doggystyle in downtown Sarasota offers up hot dogs with flavors and styles from regions all across the country, including Chicago Hot, Texas, California and even Hawaiian.

Signature Dogs: $6.99 Location: 1544 Main St., Sarasota Call: 260-5835 Website: HotDogsWithStyle. com

GET INDIE WITH IT BURNS COURT CINEMA

SUMMER ESSENTIALS

Nothing’s wrong with Netflix or the 18th superhero movie released this year, but sometimes it’s good to culturally enrich yourself with some headier fare. Burns Court Cinema plays independent and art films throughout the year, so take the summer to get cultured.

Tickets: $7 kids, $10 nonmembers Location: 506 Burns Court, Sarasota Call: 955-3456 Website: FilmSociety.org

(REALLY) TREAT YOURSELF ENJOY DONUTS AT MEANEY’S MINI DONUTS AND COFFEE HOUSE

Beach bods are all well and good, but taking a minute for some donuts can sometimes be just as rewarding.

Meaney’s Mini Donuts has been a tourist favorite for ages, so take the time to see just what all of our visiting friends are loving about the donuts. Speciality flavors range from strawberry cheesecake to Bavarian cream.

Speciality Donuts: $5 each Location: 205 Canal Road, Siesta Key Call: 960-1133

GAME ON PLAY GAMES AT ARCADE MONSTERS

You can never go home again, as they say, but it’s fun to enjoy some nostalgia from time to time. Arcade Monsters at St. Armands Circle lets you get back to your inner child and play a number of arcade games, from pinball to Mario Kart. The arcade opens at 11 a.m. and stays open until 2 in the morning.

Unlimited Play: $19 Address: 3826 John Ringling Blvd., St. Armands Call: 554-4728 Website: ArcadeMonsters.com

SUMMER ESSENTIALS

CRUISE AROUND CALIFLORIDA SURF AND SKATE SHOP’S LONGBOARDS

It’s always fun to spend a day outdoors, but it’s even better when you can feel the wind through your hair. If you pick up a longboard at CaliFlorida Surf and Skate Shop on Siesta Key, you can do that wherever you like. There are skateboards, if you’re interested, but there’s something to the lackadaisical cruising of a longboard that feels like a good summer activity.

Sector 9 Longboard: $205 Address: 5221 Ocean Blvd., Siesta Key Call: 346-0310 Website: CaliFloridaSurfShop.com

RIDE ALONG TRY OUT A VEO SCOOTER

Traffic will slow down in the coming months, but downtown and Longboat Key might still be a pain. The VEO scooters around town are fun and can take you to St. Armands Circle and back with a breezy ride. Setting up the app takes a minute and can show you clusters of electric bikes and scooters around town. Just be sure to wear a helmet.

Location: Across downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Times: Available for rent 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Website: VeoRide.com

SEASON GET ’EM WHILE THEY’RE HOT SANDAL FACTORY’S HEY DUDE SHOES

The Sandal Factory gets its fair share of tourists daily, and staff have said they struggle to keep their Hey Dude brand on the shelves. The boat shoe alternatives are light, easy to slip on and can be worn with or without socks. They really do seem to sell out quickly, so make a move if you’re thinking about it.

Hey Dude Wally Storm: $65 Address: 5232 Ocean Blvd., Siesta Key Call: 217-4249 Website: SandalFactory.com

SHARP EYES TO THE SKIES GO BIRD-WATCHING IN CELERY FIELDS

381676-1

Summer’s never a bad time to take in the sun and nature Florida is so full of, and Celery Fields has some of the most colorful birds and scenic sunsets around. It’s a good spot for bird-watching in particular, and the Audubon Society says on its website that you can find owls, meadowlarks, purple gallinules and more across the nature space.

Address: 999 Center Road, Sarasota Call: 312-6533 Website: SarasotaAudubon.org

There’s all sorts of spots and corners of Sarasota that can go unnoticed, but make sure not to miss the Children’s Garden if you have kids. The fantasy-themed play area is next to Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and has ample programs and playground activities for the young ones.

Plus, much of it is shaded, so you can relax outdoors without melting in the summer.
