Rainy days can put a damper on the day, but think of it this way: It is the perfect opportunity to explore Orlando. So throw on the galoshes, a raincoat and grab the umbrella because a rainy day can be quite the adventure. Here are a few of our favorite places to visit while it's drizzling.
Enjoy breakfast at White Wolf Cafe
Start off your day the right way by choosing one of the many tasty breakfast favorites at White Wolf Cafe. Nibble on Steak and Eggs, any of the breakfast specials or The White Wolf Wake Up (a plate piled high with 2 pancakes or french toast; 2 eggs; bacon, sausage or ham and your choice of hash browns, home fries or grits). Make sure to try their homemade cinnamon buns, too. Yum!
Soak up some beauty at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art
This museum is packed with beautiful pieces of art. In fact, it is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings and lamps. You will also find a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late 19th and early 20th century American paintings, graphics, and decorative art.

Chow down on a O’Boys lunch special
O’Boys is a local favorite serving up sweet and tangy barbecue in the adorable neighborhood of Baldwin Park. The laundry list of lunch specials will make your mouth water. Order the sliced barbecue beef, hand-pulled pork or char-grilled chicken breast. All meals are served with fries, baked beans, coleslaw and garlic bread.
Shopping spree at BullFish
BullFish, a lifestyle concept store, has unique gifts galore including nautical collectibles, gourmet foods, green products, casual clothing and stationery. You'll also come across balsamic vinegars, salt and hard-to-find boutique wines from around the world.
Grab dinner and a flick at the Enzian Theater
At Enzian, the whole dinner-and-a-movie night is combined into one event. The theater, which plays mainly artsy, foreign and independent movies, offers full meals during showings. Along with tapas options (yes, they do have popcorn), wine and beer are offered as well. Servers tend to be young, funky and sweet, especially when you consider that they're working in near-darkness for the majority of the meal service.
