Congaree and Penn

The District 
This Historic Springfield restaurant is a popular choice for those looking for a unique place to try out. It is an eclectic venue decked out in modern art deco flair.

The boho yurt lounges and geometric dome are two options that will instantly elevate your brunch experience. Styled in boho décor, they are waterproof (because we all know how Florida weather can be), and the dome has heating and A/C. Don’t forget to add a mimosa tower to your order; it comes with three and a half bottles of champagne and three juices! 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
