YEEHAW!

Lookin' for a great Barbecue place to take your family to this weekend? Look no further. Adam's Rib Company has been serving fantastic barbecue for over 8 years. Adam's has a North and South location on 13th street and are the hometown barbecue headquarters. Adam's Rib Company has an assortment of melt in your mouth options such as pork, chicken, ribs, brisket, gator bites and more. One of my favorite things about Adam's Rib Co. is getting my giant ice tea with my meal that really hits the spot. There are a number of side options, on top of the macaroni and collar greens that you see below, you can also fancy yourself with some green beans or black eyed peas. And if you are ever hosting a party and need to feed your guests, Adam's Rib Co. is now catering!

Sweet teeth welcome!!

One of my favorite places to dine in Gainesville would have to be The Gelato Company in downtown. This place has such a great menu and a really neat environment. It's pretty small but the quality of the food makes up for the limited space. I had lunch there recently when my parents were in town to visit. My mom and I both got the delicious Vegetariano Panini and it was incredible. All of the sandwiches come with two sides. You can choose from chicken salad, tuna salad, fruit or side salad. You definitely get a bang for buck at the Gelato Company. And let's not stop there! With the purchase of a drink you also get a free small Gelato. So after a mouth watering meal you can satisfy your sweet tooth with many choices including mint chocolate chip, mango or moose tracks!

Kung Fu Pow

Spice up your life with some of the best Chinese in town! Chopsticks is located on SW 13th and you can't miss it. With a view of Bivens Arm Lake customers can enjoy their meals with a peace of mind. Sitting outside on the back deck is one of the best ways to enjoy the perfect dinner date. One of Chopstick's most popular dishes is a noodle soup called Pho. You can order Pho with chicken, beef or meatballs. I recommend any of those options they are all spectacular. Chopstick's allows you to customize the spiciness of your order so that you can decide what you are in the mood for. Some other menu items I recommend are the Fried wontons or the summer rolls for an appetizer. For your main course you have to try the Pad Thai or the Eggplant Teriyaki with steamed vegetables. And to top the taste bud extravaganza off, finish it with some delightful Tempura Fried Ice Cream and you will leave Chopsticks extremely satisfied. 

Coffee Cures

Sometimes everyone needs a little pick me up. You may be having an off day or need to cram for an exam you have coming up. Don't worry, I know of the perfect place in Gainesville for you to fulfill your needs. Pascal's Coffeehouse and Gallery has a spectacular atmosphere. Students really enjoy having a cup of joe and getting their work done in this great space. The employees are extremely friendly and brighten my day every time I'm in there. So let go of your stresses and head to Pascal's for an artsy latte and a peace of mind.
