Key West: Sophisticated pleasures from cabaret to literary parties
~ continued
Article & photos by Lucy Komisar
After filling my plate with key lime pie and chocolate cake at
the desert table upstairs, I chatted with resident artists
standing near their creations. Among them were Deborah
Goldman and Perry Arnold, who both work in wood, but very
differently.
The art scene is central here. I always stop at the Studios of Key West to see what the
resident artists are doing. Hayes Blinckmann paints with a feminist theme. Note the titles
of the books in her picture: “Joy of Cooking,” “Wicked,” and “Pin-up.”
Then there is natural art, the famous Key West sunset which paints the sky over the
Gulf of Mexico vibrant pink and red. One night we took a Key West trademark evening
out, a sunset cruise on the Liberty Clipper. The music and the menu were Caribbean,
including steel drum as a background to Mojo & Sour
Orange Slow Roasted Pork and Jamaica Citrus
Rubbed Grilled Chicken, accompanied by flowing
wine.
Another day, for lunch we checked out a
local-favorite eatery, Rusty Anchor on
Stock Island, Key West’s unspoiled slightly
seedy neighbor. Here’s what Key West
was like before it went upscale. The
restaurant’s atmosphere is casual and
wood-paneled, with fish and photos
decorating the walls, and the food is down
home and plentiful. We tried the specialty
conch chowder, mhai mhai and grouper. All
worth a return visit.
