Infusion Tea News Today

A massive pop-up market bringing all things vintage and a food truck party are heading to Orlando this weekend.

Calendar's Etc. listings for the week of Feb. 3-9 include Nikki Glaser: The Good Girl Tour, the Orlando Taco and Margarita Festival and Orlando Sings Annual Mardi Gras Gala.

In just one year, this hyperlocal small business is supplying single-source honey to some of the heaviest hitters in Orlando.

Sitting at Infusion Tea on Edgewater Drive, sipping Assam black tea ($2) and munching on delicious vegetarian hummus ($6), I reflect on what this place has in common with my favorite hot dog counter in the East Village: They are both what sociologist Ray Oldenburg calls "Third Places." Naturally the First Place is home; the second is work (damn). Third Places are the gems, providing us the precious community we so often lack in our lives.
