In Thornton Park — an old pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in downtown Orlando — Urban Think! (625 East Central Boulevard, 407-650-8004; www.urbanthinkorlando.com) is the kind of independent bookstore that, sadly, is a vanishing species. It has a smart selection of children’s books, hard-to-find magazines and gay fiction, and the comfy chairs make for a welcome midday break. Afterward, take a leisurely stroll through the area, and pop into boutiques like Zou Zou (2 North Summerlin Avenue, 407-843-3373), which carries women’s designer clothing, or a wine bar like Dexter’s (808 East Washington Street, 407-648-2777; www.dexwine.com).
