Depends on what kind of food you re wanting, of course, but I would recommend the Rock Bottom Brewery at Fountain Square or Mitchell s Fish Market over at Newport on the Levee.
What s the Brazillian Steak House at Fifth and Vine? Let me see if I can find a website.www.boinabraza.comOops.That s over $50.How about something Chinese?http://www.shanghaimamas.com/
not looking for too fine for $30
Wow, you need to get to work immediately. Most hotels are already booked and I doubt there s anything for less than $150 or $200 during that week. You ll need to look hard, maybe find a Mom Pop hotel somewhere. The Florida Keys sit on top of hard coral rock and are not known for beautiful public beaches. There s one real nice public beach located at Bahia Honda State Park, between Key West and Marathon. It s a great beach, but facilities are very limited. The other public beaches are incredibly small and more than likely, man-made. Many of the big resorts in the keys have nice little private beaches, but their very pricey.Maybe consider staying close to Miami and relax at a GREAT beach in Miami Beach. Then to get a taste of the Keys, consider taking a day-trip and drive down to Key Largo. Inside John Pennekamp State Park, they offer an outstanding snorkel boat tour that will take you out to the reefs. They take good care of first-timers. The reefs are spectacular and the fish will knock you out. It s around $100, including a wet suit, but it s well-worth it to see the tropical stuff. http://www.pennekamppark.com/
There is no such thing as cheap in the keys in a prime holiday week. The best you can do at this point is try to find the cheapest of what is available... and you may be too late for that. When you get there you will see that space is limited it doesn t take many people for all rooms to be sold out. My advice, don t wait, start searching for a place now, use a travel search engine to see what is available in your price range especially if you want to be in Key West. l wish you had said where in the keys you wanted to be, it would have narrowed things down a bit. The 2 motels in Key West that l like are already booked for the dates you want.p.s. Unless it is man-made, they don t have those nice sandy beaches that most people want. Beaches in the keys are coral reef.

I like the Islander in Islamorada and Southernmost Point Guest House in Key West.
An hour and a half away from Gilroy and Santa Cruz is actually a pretty broad area, covering the Monterey Bay, San Benito County, the South Bay (of the San Francisco Bay), and parts of the central valley around Los Banos. Are you saying you want to live somewhere there, or that it is your idea of a good place for an OBGYN to live?As an OBGYN you could pretty much live almost anywhere you want, because it is a job that is needed anywhere there are women. You might have trouble in very low population, remote areas in the mountains.If I could live anywhere in CA, I would choose either Pacific Grove/Carmel/ that general area, or somewhere in Sonoma County. But that s me - you would have to think about what specifically you are looking for in a hometown.
