    FSU Theatre Department

    The FSU Theatre Department has three venues. The Richard G Fallon Mainstage Theater in the Fine Arts Building, north of Call St on the campus, does large productions of plays and musicals. The Studio, in the Williams Building on campus, stages various free student productions. Off campus, at the corner of Lafayette St and Copeland St, the Lab does a range of works, from Shakespeare to musicals, in its 150-seat thrust-stage setting.

  2. Posey's Oyster Bar

    Perhaps the highlight of the Tallahassee-St Marks Historic Railroad State Trail; is just to the left of the St Marks trailhead (which also has a rest area and facilities). Posey's Oyster Bar is an absolute pearl of an old-time oyster shack on the water, with an outdoor courtyard, great bar and bands rocking the joint Friday to Sunday... so you may want to arrange for alternative transport on the way back.

    Black Dog Café

    Wine and beer aren’t served until 6pm, but this special spot, beloved by the city’s creative community, is always happening, thanks to frequent poetry readings, open-mic music, chess boards and outdoor tables overlooking Lake Ella. If you want to eat here, mains are $2 to $7.
