With its share of the usual drive-through fast-food franchises -- mostly up on Roosevelt Boulevard -- and Duval Street succumbing to the lure of a Hard Rock Cafe, you might be surprised to learn that, over the years, an upscale and high-quality dining scene has begun to thrive in Key West. Just wander Old Town or the newly spruced-up Bahama Village and browse menus after you've exhausted my list of picks.
If you don't feel like venturing out, call We Deliver (tel. 305/293-0078), a service that will bring anything you want from any of the area's restaurants or stores for a small fee ($3-$6); it's available from 3 to 11pm. If you're staying in a condominium or efficiency, you may want to stock your fridge with groceries, beer, wine, and snacks from the area's oldest grocer, Fausto's Food Palace. Open since 1926, there are now two locations: 1105 White St. and 522 Fleming St. The Fleming Street location will deliver with a minimum $25 order (tel. 305/294-5221 or 305/296-5663).
