Baldwin Park and New Broad Street
It's wonderful to sit at a sidewalk cafe on New Broad Street under the perfect rows of palm trees with ferns planted in their grooves. The blue lake beckons in the distance. Cafe 906 is a good choice with its fresh-baked baguette sandwiches, or delicious crepes (easier on the mouth than the rough baguettes). After, do the 2.5 mile walk around the lake, accompanied by many fit people. Unfortunately the lake smells awful but you can't smell it from Cafe 906, only from the path.
This area has many pollutants that were never cleaned up properly (see article). There don't seem to be any plans to get it on the superfund list to be cleaned up. Otherwise it would be a great place to live, close to downtown.
If the lake is stinky on the day you come, drive eight minutes over to Leu Gardens for a stroll through their tropical wonderland (it is more lush in summer than winter).
Five minutes drive west of the lake, along the main road Corinne Drive, where it meets Winter Park Rd, there are an amazing amount of cool cafes, coffee shops, and bakeries, with attractive indoor and outdoor seating. Check them out!
