Within only a few years, the Hourglass District, located along Curry Ford Road, has been carving a name for itself as a distinctive high-def area. Boasting opportunities for shopping, dining, and simply relaxing, it has a local feel that evokes fresh originality with visual appeal.

Existing spaces were reimagined with a modern feel to create a vibrant place that locals have begun flocking to for treasured eateries and boutique shopping. However, visitors to Orlando that want to explore a charismatic local area shouldn’t miss out on the Hourglass District.

The area is highly-walkable, evoking that “Main Street America” feel to it at every turn. It’s equally as enticing for families as it is for friends gathering over good food and cocktails or for couples to enjoy a romantic evening. With an abundance of lifestyle activities and entertainment, it’s become sizzling on the scene for those who seek the splendor of green spaces and community events while patronizing locally-owned businesses.

This eclectic mix of creativity can be found where South Bumby Avenue meets Curry Ford Road, just south of Lake Como. It’s also northeast of Lancaster Park. The prime location makes it easy to access from downtown Orlando. So, what can you expect to find when you make time to see the Hourglass District?

One of the originals in this locale is Pizza Bruno, where you’ll find splendid Neapolitan-style pizzas to tempt your palate. While locals know it and love it, if you’re not in the mood for legendary pizza, you can explore plenty of other dining options. Claddagh Cottage has also been a notable staple of the Hourglass District before the area caught on with the trend. The authentic Irish pub experience is worth it alone, though Wednesdays offer a chance to catch live local musicians playing Irish songs.

No matter what kind of food you like, you’ll find it. Even vegans and vegetarians have a restaurant devoted to meatless lifestyles. There’s also Indian, gourmet Mexican, Italian, a brewery with over 40 beers on tap, and a patisserie that uniquely combines French and Vietnamese for something totally unique.




With a yoga studio, an educational arts company, salon, handmade jewelry, and handmade local goods, the Hourglass District has much to explore. Enjoy the fresh Floridian air and wander around, popping in for a beer, shopping, and tasting the locally-created delights you’ll find around these parts.

The Hourglass District has truly found its niche for a thriving local area off the beaten path. Visitors that want to get away from the touristy areas should come by for authentic, Floridian-made goods and see what life is like in Orlando without the theme park buzz.
