One of Orlando's most organic neighborhoods has suddenly become one of its hottest. With the arrival of local food hub East End Market, the sleepy little enclave centered at the corner of Corrine Drive and Winter Park Road hit critical mass. Stardust Video and Coffee is the pioneer here – they've been holding it down since the 1980s, and while they aren't doing so many movie rentals these days, it's a very necessary caffeine and cocktail spot – but younger fixture Park Ave CDs is also a strong attractor, with coveted vinyl, collectibles, books and in-store performances. In addition to the robust area retail, Audubon Park is passionate about its leafy greens, encompassing Harry P. Leu Gardens' 50 acres of roses, camellias and flowering trees.
