If you haven’t been there, a suggestion is the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art…….
….beautiful olde masters brought from Europe

And the Ca’d d’zan Mansion……John Ringling home on the waterfront and
St.Armand’s Circle……high end shopping and dining on the bay

Is Shake Shack considered Sarasota? I’ve seen there’s several Amish restaurants in that area too?

Yes, the Ringling Museum has an excellent collection. My wife teaches there. The rose garden is legendary and the Banyon trees are beautiful. The mansion has nice tours. But I still think the best is the circus museum. That have one of the best dioramas ever created there. It’s the complete grounds of a travelling circus. So cool. Also the botanical gardens are real close to the Ringling properties.

Thank you. I’ve been many times, although I haven’t been to Ringling museum in about 20 years. Might just be time to revisit.
