    I simply love driving (or walking) down this street. I have stopped to take pictures here and there…read morequite a few times. Of course, a few times we've just walked the length to appreciate Mother Nature's work. Pictures can't replace seeing "this" in person. Sometimes I go out of my way near sunset to drive down this street because the filtered sun through the trees makes the area look absolutely beautiful. The oak trees create a natural arch that gives you a feeling that you are driving through a tunnel and it is beautiful no matter where you enter. To me, this is one of the highlights of St. Augustine and it's just a street! The best part is...it's natural and it's free. It is one of the most photographed streets in the USA...and it's considered to be one of the most beautiful streets in the USA! WHOA! Both are completely understandable. If you are visiting St. Augustine and have been on the Trolley, then I'm sure you are aware of this street since they take you down it and tell you about it. Unfortunately, I see tourists caught up in visiting the Fountain of Youth and other things in that area and disregard the street. This is sad to me and they don't even know what they are missing. If you are planning a trip to this area...put this street on your list of things to see. If you are local (or fairly local) and haven't been down this street...now you have something else to do!

    Magnolia street is quite possibly the prettiest street I've seen. The street is lined with a tree…read morecanopy near The Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine. We stopped and parked at the Fountain of Juice to take photos of the street before going into the Fountain of Youth.

    "Holy shitballs..." was all I could think as I strolled through row after row of food trucks (43…read moretotal...yes, 43) that were competing in this years Food Truck Wars. Coming from all over Florida, they were throwing down everything imaginable, from gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches to gourmet alligator to gourmet jambalaya...and don't even get me started on the desserts. Yes...it was nothing less than a Yelpers wet dream, and I'm so ecstatic to have been a part of it! Entree: I was practically jumping for joy when I found a food truck serving up fresh arepas (Apps Food Truck), since I'm a huge fan of the ones served at Tres Leches in Riverside. I went with the "Arepas Con Choclo," which consisted of melted white queso between two corn cakes and topped with pieces of thick cut bacon. It proved a very wise choice because it was absolutely divine. Made fresh to order, the saltiness and crunch from the bacon paired wonderfully with the hint of sweet from the corn cakes, with the bubbly cheese as the kicker. These arepas were also considerably larger than the ones at Tres Leches and cheaper at $5 a plate. Dessert: The day was hot and humid, so I was in the market for some light frosty refreshment....not that I wasn't tempted by the vast selection of other offerings, such as "apple pie pops" and "funnel cake sundaes." The Sweet City Gelato truck had a sign in their window that they were the "Delectable Dessert" winner from their last competition in May. I ordered a cup with 2 flavors, tiramisu and pistachio. With just the FIRST taste of this heavenly concoction I knew they'd be a shoo-in for the "dessert" category finals...if not the clear-cut winner overall. Now, I've had more than my fair share of gelato encounters, but NOTHING as creamy 'n' dreamy as Sweet City. Fresh, flavorful, not the least bit artificial tasting...I honestly couldn't have asked for better. Wrap Up: I thoroughly enjoyed this years event, especially since I was hanging out with some cool people at the Yelp station! A very big thank you to CM Allie A. and Mr. Yelp Adam for being awesome representatives to the public and gracious hosts to us Yeeps! Can't wait for next year, SUPPORT your local food trucks, and two thumbs way up for Food Truck Wars 2013! Yayyyyy for my 50th review on Yelp!

    This was my first ever yelp event that I've had the pleasure of attending, and when I tell you I…read morehad a BLAST. I had an absolute freaking ball, all courtesy of Allie A, definitely makes it worth being a Yelp member. Needless to say there were trucks upon trucks to choose from, an all out war indeed! Dishes from Pollo sticks, Lobster Rolls, Flan, and all the desserts you could desire were presented at this event; if you didn't get a chance to attend, I highly recommend you check out the next upcoming events! Keep them coming Yelp! 5/5

    My Fiance and I were in town for the weekend and looking for something to do. I saw the Black Raven…read morePirate Ship experience and we thought it looked fun so we opted to book the adults only Rum Runner show. We don't have kids and would rather the adult only aspect so this was right up our alley. We ventured to their storefront to check in, they have all kinds of pirate merch for sale. Some silly props and costumes as well as books, maps and other more collectible items. The rum runner cruise was comprised of "pirates" making jokes at each other, singing songs and doing some light heckling towards the patrons of the ship. Seating is open unless a party reserves a section. We ended up sitting in one of the top areas which was nice because we were able to look down and see everything and everyone. There IS a bathroom on the boat, just FYI and a full bar. We did not partake in any libations (i'm pregnant) but it would have been fun to have some drinks while aboard. There were several birthday parties on board as well as a couple anniversaries. Lots of people dressed up which I didn't even think to do but now we know for next time. The vibe was definitely rowdy which was fun to watch. There is an add on that two people elected on our cruise which is the mutiny.You can pay $125 for the person of your choice to be accused of crimes and spotlighted during the trip. They also got some goodies to take home like a bandana, bottle of wine, etc. In my opinion it wasn't worth $125 but it wasn't me spending the money. The boat sailed under the bridge, did a loop then headed back to the dock which was just under 1.5hrs. We had a good time, think we were expecting a little bit more of a "show" but nonetheless it was still entertaining.

    I have had the pleasure of setting sail on the black raven pirate ship over 5x now and every single…read moreexperience has been unique in its own way. This go around we had my two nieces with us and it was an absolute blast to see this from the eyes of kids! They sell pirate hats & swords alongside snacks. The staff is always upbeat and breathing pirate life into the city. I highly recommend taking this tour whether you're a local or on vacation. They have many different types of tours - kid friendly, sunset cruise, or a rum summer cruise... and YES, there is full bar on board so I hope you're thirsty! You get breathtaking views of the entire city from the water that you would never be able to see otherwise! 20/10 experience every single time. I love telling people about this experience.

    Getting this activity 'on the books' was more than aggravating, to say the least. The tasting tour…read moresays that to text them is a quicker option for response to inquiries (for them.) It most definitely didn't seem that way! They DID get back to me via text, but it wasn't in a quick fashion. I'd say an semi-acceptable fashion (within 8-12 hours.) Regardless, we DID get our event scheduled for a private tour with (15 people.) It was quite an expensive 'private tour' of the night of lights that was explained to me as tho the grinch (driving one trolly) and Santa (driving another trolly) would interact with one another (more than minimally) and make the tour exclusive to all 15 of us. They would hop off one trolly and interact with the passengers of the other trolly, etc. In reality, it was NOT a collective tour. The grinch separated from the other trolly and it was essentially two separate tours. Approximately 3-4 times they interacted with one another (acting as tho one would hit the other's trolly, yelling insults at Santa, responding to the grinch, and stopping at the 'duck bar' for the ambush together.) The address to initially meet at is kind of hard to find, even with GPS, as well! There is NO indication of 'the tasting tours' business name on the store front at the address. It is a Cuban bakery.' YES, we all had a good time.... But I don't want the rest of you that book a 'private' tour to be mislead or pay for something you won't receive. *** I also find it distasteful that the company charges an unprecedented amount of money for the trolly rides and then has the audacity to send an email asking for further tip for the trolly drivers.*** Whether a patron tips or not is up to them, not a business owner requesting it!

The ride was outstanding and the driver, Carly, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Have done Tasting Tours several times before and lived all of them. Wonderful time!
