John Ringling, of circus fame, bought property called St. Armands Key in 1917 and proceeded to develop it. He aimed for a European-like setting and atmosphere, and given its current popularity, he must have succeeded. The Ringling Museum is just down John Ringling Boulevard in Sarasota with fine art and circus memorabilia.


Downtown Sarasota is a short drive across the water from Lido Key and offers a great many cultural interests like ballet, symphony and fine arts. The museum and various galleries contain notable works and exhibits. There are a host of festivals throughout the year for food tasting, specialty cars and other community events.


Back on St. Armands Circle, upscale restaurants await. There are plenty of casual dining places as well, but the fine cuisine of The Columbia is well worth a visit. Many diners rave about the crusty Cuban bread, which is divine, but this place knows what to do with chicken. In business since 1905, The Columbia is better than ever. Cafe L'Europe offers fine French cuisine, and Lynches Pub and Grub is great for an Irish nip afterwards.


Working up an appetite for the many kinds of tempting foods here is no problem. Even off the beach, "shop-til-you-drop" is a workout when trying to see so many different stores. Clothing for the whole family, fine jewelry and boutique items lure shoppers along the circle everyday. Beachwear and other water accoutrements are easily found.
