In a new guide to the best casual restaurants in the country, 4 Rivers has been named the best in Florida. In a new listing from The Daily Meal, they have compiled a comprehensive ranking of the best casual restaurant from each of the 50 states, From hot dog shacks to taco joints, from neighborhood hangouts to legendary barbecue spots, they have listed the best restaurants throughout the country, where the food is cheap and you'll feel right at home in jeans! The main criteria in deciding the best casual restaurants was the price factor: "Can two people fill themselves up and get out for less than $50, excluding tip and alcohol?" Other factors they took into account were an overall comfortable and relaxed ambiance, a "destination" status (that is, is the place worth traveling for?), and a proven reputation and longevity. So who won in Florida? 4 Rivers Smokehouse came out as the best casual restaurant in the state. 4 Rivers Smokehouse with eight locations throughout Central Florida, including two in Orlando and one each in Winter Park, Winter Garden, Kissimmee, Lakeland, Longwood, and Daytona Beach is a family-owned smokehouse specializing in 30-day aged brisket, homemade southern sides, and fresh bakery items. Here is what the food site said about its decision to name 4 Rivers the best in Florida. "4 Rivers is the brainchild of Florida barbecue master John Rivers, and since opening in October 2009, it has become incredibly well-respected, with nine operating smokehouses across the state. Rivers' backstory is certainly nontraditional: He spent 20 years in the health care industry, but during his travels he decided to learn everything there is to know about barbecue, and after retiring he set about perfecting his own recipes, and the end result is some first-class barbecue. The smoker at each of the 14 Florida locations is on at full blast throughout the day and night, smoking everything from Angus brisket, St. Louis ribs, pork shoulders, and chicken to wings, jalapeños, and a "brontosaurus" beef rib. The meat alone is enough to leave you happy and satisfied, but don't forget about the sandwiches, like the famed Texas Destroyer: smoked brisket, onion rings, jalapeños, and melted provolone smothered in house barbecue sauce."

Experience the Orange Court Motor Lodge neon sign from the Morse Museum’s collection illuminated in public for the first time in over thirty years. The Morse Museum in Winter Park is inviting the community to see the Orange Court Motor Lodge neon sign from the Morse Museum’s collection illuminated in public for the first time in over thirty years on Friday, April 12, 2024. At 6 pm, take a “Color & Light” tour of the Morse galleries (available on a first-come, first-served basis). At 7 pm, enjoy the lighting of this piece of architectural history outside of the Museum. The sign remains lighted until 9 pm. For details on "Neon Night" at The Morse, click here. The Orange Court Motor Lodge first opened as the Orange Court Hotel in 1924. With stylish interiors and the city’s first indoor swimming pool, the hotel was a popular resort destination for celebrities and Orlando locals alike. The hotel changed ownership in the 1960s and was renamed the Orange Court Motor Lodge. It also was outfitted with a new neon sign featuring 115 incandescent bulbs and weighing close to 1,000 pounds. When the Orange Court Motor Lodge closed in 1990, Hugh F. McKean (1908–95), the Morse Museum’s first Director, stepped forward to save the sign from demolition. The Orange Court Motor Lodge sign is one of many saved by McKean as part of the collection at the Morse Museum. Nearly all the signs are from local businesses and establishments, representing an important part of Orlando history. The neon signs offer connections to other objects in the Morse collection. Neon is created by passing electrical currents through specially bent glass tubes of rarified gas. Likewise, additional works of art in the Museum’s collection feature a plethora of color and light effects produced by chemical reactions and specialized techniques. Neon signs reached peak popularity in the 1950s before they were replaced by more cost-effective colored lighting like LED. Over time, neon signs were destroyed because they were too costly to maintain. Today, there are few artists working in the original techniques that crafted signs like these. By collecting and conserving them, the Museum is helping to preserve an important art form along with local and design history. The Morse houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including the artist and designer’s jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass lamps and windows; his chapel interior from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; and art and architectural objects from his Long Island country estate, Laurelton Hall. The Museum’s holdings also include American art pottery, late 19th- and early 20th-century American paintings, graphics, and decorative art. For more information on The Morse Museum, click here.

A popular hangout for Orlando City Soccer fans is in danger of closing its doors permanently, and is asking the local community to help them survive if possible. Bad news for soccer fans, as the popular pregame hangout for a drink before an Orlando City or Pride match, Broken Strings Brewery, is in real danger of having to close its doors permanently. The good news is that the Parramore-based brewery, located at 1012 W. Church St. Orlando has launched a GoFundMe to keep their doors open, and the community has already answered the call, with the funds goal of $30,000 reaching the half-way point only days after being launched. The GoFundMe explains the reason for why the brewery and taproom is in trouble, and it all boils down to the lack of cash, with a broken cooler being the final nail in the coffin of the businesses finances. The owners explain that the past year has been rough due to a double whammy of declining sales, and large repair bills. This has resulted in an empty bank account, and rising bills and debts. Admitting that the business has been on the verge of closing for quite some time, the owners are holding their hands up, and are reaching out to the community, friends, and supporters to ask for help in raising $30,000 to keep our brewery doors open, and with the fund already at 50% of the target, fingers crossed that Broken Strings Brewery can stay afloat. Any donation over $50 to the fun will receive an “I Saved Broken Strings” T-Shirt, with all donors to be invited to a special Thank-You party at the taproom. Click here to support the GoFundMe if you can. For the latest news from Orlando and throughout Central Florida with our Daily Orlando News.

ICON Park on International Drive is already one of the most popular entertainment destinations in Orlando, and far from resting on their laurels, exciting expansion plans are in the works. Only days after ICON Park made headlines with the sale of the Wheel at ICON Park to Merlin Entertainments, who have rebranded the 400-foot tall observation wheel back to its original name, "The Orlando Eye, " ICON Park are making the news again! According to Orange County court filings and a report in GrowthSpotter. Plans have been submitted that will massively expand the footprint of the popular entertainment destination on International Drive, to include a 409 seat entertainment venue, and several new retail locations. This is in addition to previously submitted plans for two hotels. The main focus of the plans is to the rear of the property which runs parallel to Universal Blvd. This area includes an entrance to ICON Park, together with two surface parking lots, one for the general public, and another for employees. Directly behind the current main building underneath The Orlando Eye is a landscaped area that is earmarked for a huge one-story building that will be home to a 409-seat entertainment venue. The plans also call for two hotels, each with 550 rooms to be built on the surface parking lots, either side of The Orlando Eye, although it's believed that the hotels will be built in a future phase. In addition, new retail locations are planned for two lots on the northwestern corner of I-Drive and Via Mercado with an additional 5,827-square-foot retail development on the northern edge of the park's property. Interestingly this retail development places the building on the current location of the Orlando SlingShot, a ride that is owned by the same company as the now dismantled Orlando FreeFall at ICON Park, this was the ride which teenager Tyre Sampson fell to his death in March, 2022. These new plans would suggest that the Orlando SlingShot will be removed from the park. For the latest news from Orlando and throughout Central Florida with our Daily Orlando News.

Across town at Universal Orlando Resort, a brand new land will open in 2024 based on the beloved characters from Dreamworks Animation, while over at SeaWorld Orlando, the park will debut it's eighth rollercoaster, Penguin Trek, an immersive multi-lunch family coaster. At LEGOLAND Florida they will debut not one but two new additions, a Sea Life aquarium, and a Ferrari attraction.

Of course, timelines are subject to change, but as of right now, visitors, and locals alike, will have lots of new experiences to look forward to enjoying in 2024, so hold on tight and enjoy the ride! Walt Disney World 2023 has brought many new additions to Walt Disney World, including the opening of TRON: Lightcycle/Run at Magic Kingdom in April, and the multi-month transformation of EPCOT, including the October opening of Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, and the December opening of World Celebration Gardens including Dreamers Point, where guests can sit beside a new bronze statue of the original dreamer himself, Walt the Dreamer.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure The big news from Walt Disney World is that sometime in 2024, Walt Disney World will unveil the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom, which Walt Disney Imagineering are currenly creating from the shuttered Splash Mountain. The story will pick up where the film left off as guests join Princess Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis on an adventure down the bayou as they prepare to host a one-of-a-kind celebration during Mardi Gras season where everyone is welcome. The enchantment of the bayou will illuminate with a celebration during Mardi Gras season hosted by Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. And Disney have revealed that Mama Odie will reprise her role as the catalyst to that magic. As depicted in this newly released rendering, Mama Odie jokes with guests along their journey after a special display of her magic. The two-hundred-year-old Bayou Fairy Godmother, with her eccentric belongings and “seeing eye snake,” Juju, is comically eccentric, yet wise and all-knowing, throughout the adventure. Some of the brand-new Audio-Animatronics figures in the attraction will bring the invigorating sounds of New Orleans to life. Take this rendering of Prince Naveen’s brother, Ralphie, for example. It’s a scene you commonly see in New Orleans: the joie de vivre influencing his every movement as he jams to the beat of his songful soul. Legendary actress Jenifer Lewis, who starred as the voice of Mama Odie in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog,” is once again returning to her role for the attraction.

Once inside the Ministry of Magic, guests will be transported from Paris to London through the magical Floo Network transportation system.
