Park Life

Orlando beyond the parks. Winter Park's cobbled streets, Park Avenue's high-end shops and restaurants, and the boutique Alfond Inn whose profits endow scholarships at Rollins College.

Boat rides on Lake Osceola for the view of the lakefront mansions. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum and the Albin Polasek Sculpture Gardens for slower afternoons. Orlando the city — not the theme park — earns its own weekend.

Where to stay: the Alfond Inn is the obvious pick if you want the rooftop pool and the contemporary art collection in the lobby. Restaurants worth booking: Prato on Park Avenue, the Ravenous Pig in Winter Park, the Boheme inside the Grand Bohemian.
