Have you ever wanted to combine vibes of quaint, quite, lux, bohemian and LIT? Welcome to Sarasota.
Perceived as maybe more mature “Miami” with its seasonal residents and visitors known for snow-birding and retiring, the city may not be the first thing that comes to your mind for your next girl’s trip, but looks are deceiving, Sarasota has everything CHICK needs PERIOD.
The vibe of Sarasota provides you with whatever mood you are in, whether you want to stroll and take in the view on the bridge toward Lido Key beach or want to flirt and dance the night away and all moods in between it’s there for you.
Home to several other outlining stops like Siesta Keys, if you’re not feeling one vibe, your just an Uber ride away from matching up to activities you want to do including the culture and diversity staring with Newtown ALIVE! Tours that take you into a deep dive of African-American History within the city. Or if you are looking to take in a show stop by the on West Coast Black Theatre Group, their production, ‘Love In the in the Key of Aretha’ is an amazing story and tribute to the Queen of Soul.
Downtown Sarasota bustle with a hometown feels with shops, boutiques, crafted coffee houses, cafes and restaurants to match any palette. With culinary fare from Hungarian-American gastropub at The Coolinary to Duck Wings at The Blue Rooster, your cravings will be satisfied.
After dinner it’s time to dance it off with the Sarasota nightlife, filled with a diverse city of boss babes, you can network with your girls at the Perspective Rooftop Bar, head over to have custom daiquiris at Daiquiri Deck then flirt and slow grind the night away at the Gator Bar… Hello Weekend!
After you’ve danced your stilettos off, it’s time to rest and rejuvenate in the Art Ovation hotel with lux rooms filled with art from top to bottom, lush beds that comfort every side of you, with coffee service ready for you when you wake up ready to take on the next day.
After a night of partying, what better to recover from a hangover than with Saturdays Mimosas with your best babes and what better way than to take your CHICK Squad out on an early afternoon tiki bar boat ride with Crusinin Tikis — followed by a day of beach bumming it with a mini boombox, Spotify (quite Drake and Summer Walker) and a cooler to watch the amazing sunset at Lido Key beach.
Before you head back home be sure to take a Sunday shopping stroll around St. Armand’s Circle for some digs and swag to take back home. Then round it out with a spa day at the Ritz-Carlton followed by Farewell cocktails and bites at the hotel’s eatery and bar Jack Dusty’s know for it’s famous “The Siren” (it really is, I drunk this and felt amazing for my flight back to the D) and it’s outside off the coast views.
All in all, I give Sarasota, Florida a 4 of 5 Travel CHICK stars. It’s definitely on the return travel list for a solo or chick squad visits! CLICK HERE to download your quick go-to guide “A CHICK’S GUIDE TO SARASOTA, FLORIDA”
