And I’m just the dude who can prove it. But I don’t need to. THIS LITTLE ARTICLE does a reasonable job singing the culinary praises of America’s Oldest City. Full disclosure: I lived in St. Augustine for ten years and saw the enigmatic coastal gem evolve from charming, folksy tourist-trap by-the-sea into bona fide, world-class destination. Part of that progression was simply due to the influx of forward-thinking people eager to showcase the city’s stunning, Henry Flagler-era architecture and whip the gorgeous downtown business center into sparkling shape … without sacrificing a shred of the community’s 500 year-old authenticity. The arrival of several luxury hotels and genius-level chefs de cuisine sealed the deal and continues to sustain the once-sleepy berg’s indubitable renaissance. Why, Oh WHY didn’t I stay there? Oh. Thaaaaaaaat’s right …
