Orlando Advice
I am coming to stay in downtown Orlando for the month of August and I am looking for some local advice.
I have missed a friends birthday, which was back in June, so as a surprise I would like to take them for a picnic, but I have never been to Orlando before, so I have no idea where to go. I am happy to travel a little out of Orlando if there is a really nice place, or alternatively if there is a nice spot in Orlando itself that would be great. I will also need to buy some nice food for the picnic, so are there any shops / good delis where I could buy some nice picnic type food?
Alternatively are there any nice restaurants which have a spot nearby where we could go for a walk afterwards, or which has a nice view?

Some people like to picnic on the grounds of the Polasek sculpture museum, right on a lake. If food is allowed, Leu Gardens would be lovely for a picnic. The state park at Wekiwa is pretty. You might pick up food at Dylan's Deli, a French cafe with nice sandwiches; FreshMarket; maybe from Croissant Gourmet or Mills 903 (someone help with the name?) or a food truck or Cuban Sandwiches to Go.

If you are down town, The you can picnic at Lake Eola, over looking our famous fountain.

There is a Publix near by where you can get picnic items.

Also if you don't mind crowds. Lake Eola has their farmers market on Sundays. They bring out tables and chairs, and there is quite a bit of food to try.
