La Marea at The Tides

Seaside Thanksgiving

 

By Aurora Rodriguez11/24/2009

Located in the heart of Ocean Drive, La Marea at The Tides offers visitors an elegant experience and escape from the tourist-packed streets. Not into washing dishes this Thanksgiving? Stop by and enjoy “coastal comfort” food – such as lobster corn dogs with mustard crème fraiche and black grouper – while you pair it all with a Seaside Thanksgiving cocktail. Sip and enjoy the flavors of Wild Turkey whiskey with tangy lemon and grapefruit notes. Looking for a chilled delight to finish it all off? Try a Passion drink, complete with a watermelon popsicle to nibble on. Heavenly.
