Word on the street is downtown Sarasota has a new after-hours lounge. Open every Saturday 10 p.m.–2 a.m., this authentic Mex-eclectic restaurant offers more than just the town’s best margaritas. Owned and operated by Mitch Good and Matt Hess on the corner of North Palm Avenue and Main Street, El Melvin Cocina Mexicana is only five minutes from the famous Unconditional Surrender statue along Bayfront Park. Every first Saturday of the month, El Melvin delivers Tulum-inspired music with performances from top international DJs, exotic fire dancers and surprise entertainers. With capacity limitations, private V.I.P. tables are available for purchase.
If you are anything like me, tequila makes every hour happier! El Melvin offers delicious tacos, appetizers and drinks on special 4–7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and all-day Taco Tuesday specials big enough to feed an entire group—pitchers large enough, too!
El Melvin has become a favorite spot for my friends. Captured within the heart of Sarasota, El Melvin is a restaurant during the day transformed by night, offering authentic Mexican cuisine in a modern environment that provides a fine-dining experience filled with life and culture. Please take my word when I say the margarita is the best in Florida!

Jun 3, 2025Now’s the Time to See Giza, the Nile and Beyond
All archaeology-obsessed eyes turned hopefully toward Egypt earlier this year when the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum outside Cairo finally began welcoming visitors after construction delays, funding roadblocks and political upheaval in the region (among other factors) conspired to keep things delayed for many long years. The museum’s cherry on the top is slated to open this summer, with the July opening of the museum’s 20-plus-years-in-the-making Tutankhamen galleries and accompanying cache of some 5,000 artifacts and treasures from the boy king’s tomb.

May 30, 2025By-the-cabin Yachting Redefines the Cruise Experience
I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.
