October is when Bonita Springs starts to stretch and wake up. Seasonal neighbors are booking flights, kitchens are rolling out winter menus and the roads are still blissfully clear. Here is how September closed, where to eat right now and what is coming to Riverside Park this season.

Where to Eat This Month: The Bohemian Earns Michelin Recognition
One of our favorite downtown tables is now on the Michelin map. The Bohemian on Old 41 serves inventive small plates in a room that is eclectic and elegant all at once. Start with the crab rangoon and the warm lobster and crab toast. Skip the cocktail for once and try a fruit and herb infused tea.
Insider tip: park behind the building and walk in through the breezeway. Go before season fills every bar stool.
