T O P I C R E V I E WApolloAlexI wonder if anybody can help at all,very soon i shall be visitng Florida for the first time and apart from visitng the space centre,astronaut hall of fame and everything else,can anybody tell me where some of the hangouts and bars were of the Mercury,Gemini,Apollo astronauts,for example i know that the Holiday Inn in cocoa beach was a favourite amongst the early astronaouts and can anyone tell me where some of the more recent shuttle astronauts hang out,many thanks.Alex.Sy LiebergotYou’ll definitely want to visit/stay in Cocoa Beach. Mandatory to eat breakfast at the Moon Hut, the historic diner that was a favorite of the astronauts and launch teams, with a ton of space memorabilia on the walls. Have lunch or dinner at the Durango steak house, because it used to be the Mousetrap, the legendary nightspot, and has more memorabilia on the walls (well, at least one wall). Next door to Durango’s is a Best Western motel which used to be the Apollo motel. Vivid are the memories of downing the enormous sized drinks at the Moustrap, then staggering across the parking lot to my room at the Apollo where I sat on the bathroom floor and hugged the porcelain “fixture.”Hope this helps,Sy Liebergot"Apollo EECOM: Journey Of A Lifetime" www.apolloeecom.com ApolloAlexSure does,thanks.ivorjwHey I was looking for somewhere to ask that very same question!

It was an Indian restaurant for about 1 1/2 years now it's a BBQ restaurant that doesn't live up to the old FB legend.
