Pensacola - Pensacola

Pensacola je povijesni grad na plaži na sjeverozapadu Florida, u Sjedinjene Američke Države. Nalazi se u okrugu Escambia, najzapadnijem okrugu Floride, na vrhu "panhandlea". U gradu se nalaze pomorska zračna stanica Pensacola, Nacionalni muzej pomorskog zrakoplovstva i mnogi povijesni okruzi koji okružuju centar grada. Okruženo vodom s tri strane, područje Pensacole prepuno je povijesti, olupina brodova, plaža i spektakularnih vidikovaca.

Pensacolu ne treba miješati sa svojim susjedom, Plaža Pensacola, obrađeno u zasebnom članku.

Povijest

Pensacola ima nadimak "Grad pet zastava". Zapravo samo gospodarska komora Pensacole koristi to ime, ali to je prikladan kratkoročni način opisivanja povijesti grada. Tijekom posljednjih 450 godina Pensacola je bila u vlasništvu pet država: Španjolske, Francuske, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva, Sjedinjenih Država i Konfederacijskih država. U njemu su živjela i različita indijanska plemena, ali čini se da ih sloganeeri nikad ne uključuju.

Kada Indijanci Panzacola stigli u Pensacolu prije tisuće godina, pronašli su staru borovu šumu, zgusnutu masivnim borovima, tako velikim da bi trebalo dva ili tri muškarca da vas omotaju oko debla. To je drveće pružalo toliko hlada da na šumskom tlu gotovo da nije bilo šikare, a putovanje kroz šumu bilo je lako. Budući da se u borovoj šumi ne može naći puno hrane, plemena su uglavnom živjela u blizini vode, gdje je ribolov bio bogat. O tim se ranim stanovnicima područja ne zna puno: ostavili su malo artefakata, a sva su plemena koja su živjela u Pensacoli prije europske kolonizacije izumrla.

Europska kolonizacija započela je s Španjolski: Juan Ponce de León (iz Fountain of Youth slave) prvo je vidio područje, a kasnije španjolske istraživače uzbudio je dobro zaštićeni duboki zaljev. Preporučili su naseljavanje, a 1559. god. Tristán de Luna y Arellano stigao u zaljev i osnovao prvo europsko naselje u Sjedinjenim Državama. Nazvao ga je ... Puerto de Santa Maria. Jadno je propao. Poslao je svoje ljude u bezvrijedne izviđačke misije u puste borove šume, izgubio je sve svoje brodove u uraganu (s opskrbom još uvijek na brodu!) I bio je tako nesposoban i neinspirativan da su se njegovi pobunili. Živio je zahvaljujući intervenciji katoličkih misionara u gradu, ali kad su nekoliko mjeseci kasnije stigli španjolski brodovi, preostali Španjolci brzo su napustili naselje.

Španjolska se vratila tek 1698. Zaljev su ponovno otkrili pet godina ranije tijekom ekspedicije mapiranja. Budući da je zaljev još uvijek bila primamljiva luka, a na obližnjoj rijeci Blackwater bilo je mnogo starih borova koji bi bili savršeni za brodogradnju, Španjolska je odlučila preseliti zaljev. Ovoga puta naselje je dobilo ime Bahía Santa María de Filipina. Ipak nije Pensacola! Međutim, naziv 'Panzacola' bio je zapisan na istraživačkim kartama za to područje, a ime je počelo dobivati ​​neformalnu upotrebu. Naselje je bilo siromašno, malo, naseljeno uglavnom zatvorenicima i pretrpjelo je brojne neuspjehe.

1719. god. Francuska, na čelu s guvernerom Francuske Louisiane zauzeo Pensacolu od Španjolaca na početku rata četverostrukog saveza. Pensacole gotovo nije bilo otpora: Pensacoliansima se nitko nije potrudio reći da su u ratu! Zbunjeni grad dočekao je Francuze raširenih ruku, očekujući da brodovi iz Mobila trguju zalihama, a ne mecima. Nakon što su preuzeli kontrolu, nisu puno radili s gradom. Francuzi su spalili Pensacolu tijekom povlačenja 1722. godine, a Španjolci su obnovili kontrolu nad (opljačkanim, ugljenisanim) gradom ...

Do 1763. godine, kada Velika Britanija osvojio je Floridu od Španjolske kao koncesiju nakon Francuskog i Indijskog rata / Sedmogodišnjeg rata. U zamjenu, Španjolskoj je bilo dopušteno zadržati Kubu, a Luizijanu je dobila i na poklon od Francuza, u zamjenu za njihovu pomoć tijekom rata. Nije loša trgovina. Velika Britanija bila je ponosna na svoj novi grad i uložile su puno truda u poboljšanje. Proglašen je glavnim gradom nove kolonije britanske zapadne Floride, a izgradili su većinu ulica u centru Pensacole koje se i danas koriste.

Ovo razdoblje britanskog prosperiteta nije potrajalo predugo, jer 1781. god. Španjolska ponovno zauzeo Pensacolu, zajedno s ostatkom Floride, kao saveznika Sjedinjenih Država u američkom revolucionarnom ratu. Bernardo de Gálvez, general španjolske Louisiane, bio je ključan za pobjedu grada tijekom bitke kod Pensacole. Kad je španjolski zapovjednik flote izgubio brod i odbio poslati više u zaljev Pensacola, Gálvez je iskoristio svoje guvernerske ovlasti da zapovjedi jednim od brodova iz Louisiane i osobno ga uplovio u luku, pod stalnom topovskom vatrom Britanaca. Ostali brodovi u floti ubrzo su uslijedili, pomalo posramljeni, kako jedan zamišlja. S Floridom koja je sada pod španjolskom kontrolom, Španjolska je kontrolirala cijelu obalu Zaljeva i dijelove rijeke Mississippi, što je rezultiralo velikim nezadovoljstvom američkih naseljenika na jugu. Željeli su pristup vodi, a njihova agitacija zbog morske luke na kraju je nadahnula mladog generala po imenu Andrew Jackson.

1821. Jackson je napokon uspio zauzeti Pensacolu i Floridu, četvrti i posljednji put: sada je bila u vlasništvu Sjedinjene Američke Države. Ugovor Adams-Onís službeno je akviziciju dao Pensacolu i cijelu španjolsku Floridu Amerikancima. Ovo je bilo dobro za Mississippi i Alabamu, koji su napokon dobili pristup moru. Nije to bilo sjajno za generala Jacksona, koji je za guvernera Floride postao posao koji je mrzio, a kasnije je dao otkaz. U to je vrijeme Pensacola postala najveći grad na Floridi i bila je jedna od najvažnijih luka na Obali zaljeva. 1845. teritorij je postao 27. Sjedinjene Države. Sjedinjene Države puno su investirale na Floridi, gradeći ovdje utvrde, povećavajući vojnu prisutnost. Izgradili su brodogradilišta koja će stotinu godina kasnije postati Pomorska zračna stanica (NAS) Pensacola.

1861. Florida se odvojila od Sjedinjenih Država kako bi se pridružila Konfederacijske države Amerike. Četiri godine Florida se borila s Jugom u sklopu američkog građanskog rata. Suprotno početnim očekivanjima, ovaj rat nije dobro završio za Jug. Još gore za Pensacolu, Konfederacija je sama uništila gradsko gospodarstvo. Konfederacijski pukovnik John Beard, bojeći se da će unijske trupe zauzeti Pensacolu, naredio je svojim ljudima da "unište svaku stopu drvne građe, sve pilane, čamce itd.", Zajedno sa svime ostalim što bi moglo biti od koristi "neprijatelju". Gradsko gospodarstvo nikada se nije u potpunosti oporavilo.

Pensacola pridružio se Sjedinjenim Državama 1865., započinjući dugotrajni pad grada. Drvna industrija počela se obnavljati, ali 1930-ih je svako stablo stabla na sjeverozapadu Floride posječeno, a nisu ostali samo mali, tek posađeni borovi. Zaljev Pensacola, čitav razlog postojanja grada, nije mogao primiti moderne brodove koji su zahtijevali dublju vodu. Gradsko vijeće nije htjelo iskopati zaljev kako bi voda postala dublja, a luka je odbila gotovo u ništavilo. Većina otpreme preselila se u Mobilni, Alabama.

Danas je vojska pokretačka snaga ekonomije Pensacole. Brodogradilišta Pensacola preinačena su i postala su prva pomorska zračna stanica u Sjedinjenim Državama 1913. godine. NAS Pensacola dom je Plavih anđela i Nacionalnog muzeja pomorskog zrakoplovstva. Svi pomorski aviatori su, u nekom trenutku svoje karijere, obučeni u NAS Pensacoli. Baza zapošljava više od 23 000 ljudi.

Često se opisuje kao da ima tri i pol sezone, Pensacola ima suptropsku klimu s kratkim, blagim zimama i vrućim, vlažnim ljetima. Tipični ljetni uvjeti imaju najviše na 32-34 ° C, a najniže sredinom 70-ih (23-24 ° C). Popodnevne ili večernje grmljavine česte su tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Djelomično zbog primorskog položaja, temperature iznad 37,8 ° C iznad 37 ° C su rijetke, a posljednji put dogodile su se u lipnju 2011. godine, kada su dva od prva četiri dana mjeseca zabilježila najviše od preko 100 ° F.

Zimi očekujte žustre, prohladne, suhe dane. Prosječna najviša temperatura u siječnju je 61,2 ° F (16,2 ° C), a najniža je 6,0 ° C (42,8 ° F), iako se temperature smrzavanja javljaju u prosjeku petnaest noći u sezoni. Ako potječete iz sjeverne klime, zimu Pensacole možete preživjeti samo s džemperom ili laganom jaknom. S druge strane, Pensacolians odvlače parkove kad padne pedeset stupnjeva.

Proljeće i jesen blaga su vremena za posjetiti. Temperature se uglavnom zadržavaju oko šezdeset do osamdeset stupnjeva, manji je rizik od tropskih oluja, ima manje vlage, a grmljavinske oluje su manje snažne. Dobro je vrijeme i za sunčanje kad je sunce jako, ali blago.

Bez obzira u koje doba godine posjetite, trebali biste ponijeti kišobran. Pensacola je jedno od najkišovitijih mjesta istočno od Mississippija, a nema sušne ili mokre sezone: kiša može pogoditi u bilo koje doba godine. Grad godišnje primi 64,28 inča (1630 mm) padalina, s kišnom sezonom ljeti. Najkišovitiji je mjesec srpanj, s 204 mm (8,02 inča), a travanj je najsušniji s 99 mm (3,89 inča). Proljeće i ljeto imaju "kokice s kokicama", peptidni eufemizam za grmljavinske oluje koje izgledaju samo da vas neočekivano natapaju, a zatim nestaju, ostavljajući vas da ponovo uživate u suncu. Uvijek, prilikom posjeta Pensacoli, imajte neke planove za aktivnosti u zatvorenom, u slučaju da vam planovi na otvorenom padnu iz kiše. Mnogo je popularnih zatvorenih aktivnosti koje će vas zabaviti.

Od lipnja do studenog poznat je pod nazivom sezona uragana. Uragani su snažne tropske oluje s velikom brzinom vjetra, kišom i obalnim poplavama. Također jako otežavaju dobru preplanulost. Iako je Pensacola ranjiva na uragane, oni ne napadaju svake godine, a većina ih je prilično slaba. Nakon gotovo 70 godina bez izravnog pogotka, Pensacolu na Floridi izravno su pogodili uragan Erin (kategorija 2) u kolovozu 1995. i glavni uragan Ivan (kategorija 3) u rujnu 2004. Uragan Dennis očetkao je područje u srpnju 2005. nanoseći umjerenu štetu. Posjetitelji će obično imati dosta obavijesti ako budu išli ukorak s medijima.

Avionom

Međunarodna zračna luka Pensacola (PNS IATA) opslužuje šest zračnih prijevoznika koji pružaju izravnu uslugu Houston George Bush Intercontinental, Houston-Hobby, Atlanta, Dallas / Ft. Vrijedno, Dallas-Love, Chicago O'Hare, Chicago-Midway, Charlotte, Washington National, Denver, Saint Louis, Nashville, Tampa, Orlando, Philadelphia, Miami, Kansas City i Austin.

Iz zračne luke možete unajmiti automobil, naručiti taksi ili koristiti autobusni sustav okruga Escambia (ECAT). Brojne tvrtke nude uslugu najma automobila od strane PNS-a, a ovo će biti vaša najbolja opcija za putovanje gradom. Alamo, Avis, Proračun, Najam automobila u dolarima, Herc, i Nacionalni najam automobila svi nude usluge u zračnoj luci. U Dodatku, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, i Štedljivi najam automobila imaju lokacije blizu aerodroma i nude besplatnu uslugu prijevoza do svojih ureda.

Taksi kabine ovlaštene su naplatiti dodatnih 1 američki dolar kako bi pokupili bilo koga iz zračne luke, a za korištenje taksija iz zračne luke naplaćuje se najmanje 11 američkih dolara. Međutim, ta je naknada niža od većine gradova u Sjedinjenim Državama, a zapravo su cijene taksija u Pensacoli među najnižim u državi; zbog velike veličine Pensacole, taksiji su skup način putovanja gradom, ali učinkovit i jednostavan način.

Autobusna linija 63, ECAT, vozi zračnu luku svakih 60 minuta radnim danom, s početkom u 6:10 i završetkom u 17:10. Vikendom autobusna linija 63 dolazi svaka dva sata, započinje u 8:10 i završava u 4:10. Put 63 završava u kampusu Penacola Junior College; odatle autobus postaje put 43, koji putuje do Sveučilišta zapadne Floride, ili možete sići i pričekati rutu 41 (Bayou Blvd, Cervantes i 12th Ave), rutu 42 (ECAT središnja stanica) ili rutu 58 ( do centra grada preko 9. avenije, zatim do NAS Pensacole i Mornaričke bolnice.)

Mobilna regionalna zračna luka (MOB IATA) udaljen je sat vremena vožnje od Pensacole u Alabami. Obično je skuplje od slijetanja na PNS, ali povremeno vam može uštedjeti par stotina dolara na letovima. Uobičajeno je da će svaki let koji zahtijeva odlazak u Atlantu biti jeftiniji u Pensacoli; ako let ne zahtijeva zadržavanje u Atlanti, možda će biti jeftinije sletjeti u Mobile. Iz Mobilea iznajmljivanje automobila dostupno je u zračnoj luci ili vas autobus za hrte može odvesti do Pensacole za oko 20 dolara. Da biste došli do stanice Greyhound putem mobilnog sustava javnog prijevoza, koristite liniju kombija 19, koja je povezana s autobusnom linijom 1, koja je povezana s autobusnom rutom 9, koja će vas odvesti do stanice Greyhound.

Automobilom

Automobilom je Pensacola udaljen oko tri sata zapadno od Tallahassee i tri sata istočno od New Orleans putem I-10 i tri sata južno od Montgomery putem Hwy 29 i I-65. Međudržavna 10 putuje istok-zapad kroz Pensacolu i najlakši je put u grad. Međutim, koridor I-10 kroz jugoistok SAD-a smatra se jednim od najdosadnijih dijelova ceste u zemlji; ništa osim borova na kilometre i kilometre.

Autocesta 90 je manja cesta koja putuje paralelno s I-10 i vijuga kroz mnoge male gradove. Ako vam ne smeta malo duža vožnja u zamjenu za bolji krajolik, Autocesta 90 možda vrijedi dodatnog vremena vožnje. Putnici na 90. trebaju imati na umu da se cesta račva u Pensacoli; lokalni naziv sjevernog račvanja autoceste 90 je Nine Mile Road, i uglavnom izbjegava grad. Južna račva nosi mnoga imena; Mobilna autocesta,Ulica Cervantes, i Scenic Highway. Duže je i putuje srcem Pensacole, ali pogled na zaljev Pensacola s blefova uz Scenic Highway jedan je od najljepših vidikovaca u gradu.

Autocesta 29 ruralna je autocesta koja povezuje Pensacolu s međudržavnom 65. Ako putujete na jug Pensacole, kroz Alabamu, koristeći autocestu 29 kao prečac od I-65, možete uštedjeti oko dva sata.

Međudržavna 110 je 6 kilometara duga međudržavna ostruga sjever-jug koja povezuje I-10 s centrom grada Pensacole.

Autobusom

Hrt nudi uslugu Pensacoli s njihove stanice na bulevaru Pensacola, tik uz I-10. Njihova je stanica otvorena sedam dana u tjednu, od 5:15 do 19 sati i od 21:30 do 23:45. Put hrtova kroz Pensacolu je istok-zapad i putuje I-10. Svatko tko želi putovati na sjever morat će izvršiti transfer u Mobileu, Panama Cityju ili Tallahasseeju. Od stanice Greyhound, gradska autobusna linija ECAT-a dostupna je putem 50, iako ćete morati hodati do bulevara Pensacola i prijeći prometnu ulicu. ECAT autobus dolazi prema jugu prema ECAT-ovom središnjem autobusnom kolodvoru svakih 30 minuta nakon sata, od 6:30 do 19:30. Ne idite na sjeverni ECAT put 50 koji dolazi dvadeset minute nakon sata; autobus prema sjeveru dodati će još jedan sat vašem vremenu putovanja.

Karta Pensacole
Karta centra Pensacole

Vožnja je daleko najbolji način da se zaobiđe područje Pensacole. Uz izuzetak centra grada, parkirališta je u izobilju i besplatno. Centar grada ima ulično parkiralište i nekoliko parkirnih garaža, od kojih većina ima male naknade tijekom radnog dana, od 9:00 do 17:00, od ponedjeljka do petka. Vikendom je parkiralište u gradu besplatno, ali tijekom posebnih događaja može biti oskudno. Putovanje gradom možda prvi put zbunjuje vozača; neke od glavnih ulica imaju višestruka imena, od kojih je najzloglasnije FL SR 296, koji također prolazi Bayou Boulevard, Brent Lane, Beverly Parkway, Michigan Avenue i Saufley Field Road! Uz to, mnoge glavne prometnice krivudaju ili se vode neparnim dijagonalama. Karta će dobro doći. I-110 je glavna međudržavna država koja prolazi kroz sjever-jug kroz Pensacolu i pruža vrlo zgodan putokaz za putovanje gradom.

Tamo su biciklističke staze u cijelom gradu uz većinu glavnih prometnica, ali nije ih lako primijetiti ako se zapravo ne koriste; potražite male trakove sa strane ceste s simbolom bicikla oslikanim na asfaltu. Centar Pensacole sjajno je vidjeti s bicikla, posebno staro područje Seville i povijesnu četvrt.

Taksijem

Taksi usluga u Pensacoli može biti skupa zbog dugog vremena vožnje potrebnog za prelazak s jednog kraja grada na drugi. Ne očekujte da ćete pronaći taksi kad vam je potrebna vožnja, niti da ga pozdravite; obično ćete trebati nazvati taksi službu i očekivati ​​čekanje.

Sedam čuda od Pensacole

Stanovnici Pensacole često se šale na račun kičastih zgrada i atrakcija u gradu. Novine su sastavile jezični popis najpoznatijih dijelova, uh, arhitektonske raskoši, a rezultat je Sedam čudesa iz Pensacole. Ništa od toga nije vrijedno dugog putovanja ili zaustavljanja, ali možete ih vidjeti s ceste i možda ćete ih uočiti u vožnji.

  • Tunel 12. avenije (Inače poznat kao Grleća stabla) (12. Ave, južno od Fairfielda Dr.). Drevni živi hrastovi dugih nogu ovdje su raširili svoje grane poput ceste poput lisnatog, sunčanim tunelom. 
  • Most grafita 17. avenije (17. avenija, sjeverno od Bayfront Pkwy). Službeno, ovo je željeznička pločnica 17. avenije, ali svi je zovu mostom grafita; na ovom kratkom rasponu nije ostao ni centimetar izloženog betona. Grad je službeno označio grafite na ovom mjestu kao potpuno legalne, sada je most postao dovoljno poznat da se pojavljuje na proizvodima Pensacole i ima svoj ukras za božićno drvce! 
  • Kristalna ledena kuća, 2024. Davis St. (Križanje Jordan St). Ova mala zgrada izgleda poput malog dvorca izrađenog od rezbarenog leda, a napravljena je od bijelog betona i tinjca pa blista. Ovaj stajalište uz cestu nekada se prodavao led za ledene kutije 1930-ih i naveden je u Nacionalnom registru povijesnih mjesta. 
  • Veseli zeleni div, 4301 N Davis Hwy (sjeverno od Fairfielda Dr.). On bdije nad Baileyjevom poljoprivrednom tržnicom nadajući se da će privući znatiželjne vozače na štandove s povrćem. Smanjio se 2004. godine sa 32 na 25 stopa kad se tržište poljoprivrednika preselilo u gradske granice Pensacole, a gradske odredbe o potpisima prisilile su na smanjenje veličine.

Jesti

Located on the Gulf Coast, with good harbors, Pensacola has access to a wide variety of fresh morski plodovi, and many restaurants in the area proudly use fresh-caught fish and shellfish in their meals. Sneper is bountiful in the waters here, but good luck finding it; most of it is shipped to New York City, where it can fetch a higher price. Locals in the know often hit the docks when the fishing ships come in, when a small bribe can net you a beautiful snapper at bargain prices. Gulf shrimp are cheap and plentiful here, and most dining establishments have it on the menu in some form or another. Mullet fish are an oily, strong-flavored species of fish, popular only because of its dirt-cheap price. It can be bought for a dollar a pound, and is always served deep-fried, like catfish; locals often eat the tails like they eat potato chips. And although Pensacola is a little late to the raw fish party, incredible suši can be found here, made with fish caught from the docks.

Being in the southern United States, Pensacola also features many restaurants that specialize in traditional southern cooking; imajući krupica, a ground corn porridge, for breakfast is a source of pride for many Southerners. Pecans i peanuts are grown by many farmers in the Florida panhandle, and Pensacolians put them to good use in pecan pie, pecan ice cream, roasted peanuts, and especially cajun-spiced boiled peanuts. And all this southern food is washed down with sweet iced tea; the best places boil sugar and water into a syrup, and add this to their brewed iced tea, along with oranges or lemons to make a true Southern-style sweet tea.

Krupica are offered anywhere breakfast is served; even the fast food chain Whataburger has them in the mornings.

  • Blue Dot Barbecue, 310 N De Villiers St, ☏ 1 850 432-0644. M 11AM-2:30PM, Tu-F 11AM-5PM, Sa 12:30-5PM. Open since 1947, this Pensacola institution has a cult-following for their burgers and smoked rib sandwiches, which are the only items on the menu. Service is very curt, and they may close early on some days, or not even open at all, if they "feel like it." $4 hamburgers, $7.21 rib sandwich. 
  • The Coffee Cup, 520 E Cervantes St, ☏ 1 850 432-7060. "No Grits, No Glory" is the motto of this Southern diner, and it's a good slogan for how to eat here; if you aren't going to order the grits, don't bother. It opened in 1945; this greasy-spoon diner hasn't changed anything other than its prices ever since. The Nassau grits, served with ham, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, were mentioned in Saveur magazine, and are worth an order. The regulars, who love the cheap food here, tend to stick with eggs, biscuits, and bacon or a smoked pork chop, with a bottomless cup of thin coffee. A "road food" lovers treat. $4-8. 
  • Kraljica mlijeka, 7600 Scenic Hwy, ☏ 1 850 473-1111. Enjoy a cheap soft-serve ice cream cone while standing on the bluffs overlooking Escambia Bay. Come by in the morning, when the sun sparkles on the water and the freight trains thunder on the beach beneath you.

  • J's Pastry Shop. In the trendy East Hill district of Pensacola, there's only one place to go for a hungry traveler on a budget, and that's J's Bakery. A little run down, and hard to find in its small brick building, it nevertheless has a faithful following among pastry lovers in the area. They speak in awed, hushed tones about cheese danishes the size of your head. You will too, once you try one. $1-3. 
  • Jerry's Drive-In, 2815 E Cervantes St, ☏ 1 850 433-9910. While it's not a drive-in, this is a great place to sit and enjoy a cheap beer while watching the regulars eat delicious hamburgers, fried chicken livers and onion rings. Famous in the city for their double-bacon cheeseburgers and from-scratch milkshakes, there is usually a line to get a table. Bring cash, since credit cards aren't accepted at this mom and pop place. $2-7. 
  • Krispy Kreme Donuts, E Cervantes St. Eating a fresh, hot Krispy Kreme donut proves that you're a Pensacola tourist 'in the know.' Although the donuts from this factory are no different than any other in the South, Pensacolians harbor a strange attachment to the sticky sweet pastry. When the building reopened after a three month renovation, it made front page news in the city newspaper; truly, a bastion of Southern culture. $0.50-$1.50 per donut. $2-4 for specialty coffee. 
  • O'Zone Pizza Pub, 1010 N 12th Ave, ☏ 1 850 433-7336. Su-M 11AM-9PM.

Expect it to be crowded, loud, fun, and to have an, ah, interesting crowd. $10-20 per pizza. 
  • Whataburger, Multiple locations, mostly in north part of city. Open 24-hours. A chain popular across the south, Whataburger has endeared itself to the student population with good prices, good burgers, heart-clogging portions, free Wi-fi, and 2-for-1 hamburger deals on Wednesdays. Bacon, jalapeño, and cheddar are popular additions to their burgers. Don't order the 'large size' unless you know what you're getting yourself into. $5-8.

What seems expensive to the average Pensacola eater may seem pretty cheap to out of towners. Even the best meals in town rarely top $30 a person, and seafood in Pensacola is dirt cheap compared with some parts of the country. Take advantage of this; there is incredible seafood to be found at the finer establishments in town.

  • Angus Seafood, Meats and Spirits, 1101 Scenic Hwy, ☏ 1 850 432-0539. An American Steakhouse, with a full bar and lounge, 'the Angus' has an upscale atmosphere.

This is the height of 'fancy eats' in Escambia county, with its unique take on southern seafood, beautiful views of Pensacola Bay, and high (for Pensacola) prices. The restaurant's signature dish, the 'Grits a Ya Ya,' features grits with smoked gouda cheese, applewood smoked bacon, and Gulf shrimp, but it can't top the chef's excellent key lime pie. $15-30. 
  • [ranije mrtva veza]The Global Grill, 27 S Palafox Pl, ☏ 1 850 469-9966. Tu-Sa 5PM-late, Su-M closed. The Global Grill is an eclectic restaurant, serving cuisines from around the world, located in the heart of downtown Pensacola. The upscale restaurant features tapas, which are small appetizers ranging from $4-20, and diners are encouraged to order multiple tapas and share with their companions; ordering an entree isn't required. The decor is its most memorable feature; both elegant and eclectic, the Global Grill has a modern, chic feel, with eye-catching hometown art on the walls and unique table settings for each table. The globally-inspired food, the communal aspect of sharing tapas, and the modern atmosphere have made the restaurant popular for couples and elegant group get-togethers.

  • McGuire's Irish Pub and Restaurant, 600 East Gregory St, ☏ 1 850 433-6789.

The restaurant was named Steak House of the Year by the National Beef Council in 1998. McGuire's advertises its steaks as "Certified Angus corn-fed beef, never frozen and hand cut daily."

This seafood market is so popular, customers are expected to take a number, and the wait can be up to a half hour! It's easy to see why; they offer fresh local seafood brought in straight from the docks, along with high-quality imported seafood, at startlingly low prices. While waiting, try an order of sushi from their sushi bar, visit Anna's Wine Shop in the back, or browse the imported foods and knick-knacks at Amangiari's Shop. 
  • Maria's Fresh Seafood, 621 E Cervantes St, ☏ 1 850 432-4999. Unlike Joe Patti's, Maria's is a quiet seafood market, without all the bells and whistles. It's a well-kept secret to Pensacola seafood restaurants; most of them buy their seafood through here. 

Piće

One drink that's a Pensacola favorite is the Bushwacker. This frozen drink, made from Kahlua, rum, coconut, and ice cream, is more associated with Pensacola Beach, but every bar in town knows how to make it, and many have their own special versions.

International travelers, when going out to drink, bring your passport. Doormen at some bars, Seville Quarter in particular, may not recognize an international driver's license, and will call the police after confiscating it as a fake ID!

Pubs

During evenings, live entertainment and music can get rowdy. They serve handmade draft beers brewed on site, in addition to a full bar, and a few oddball house specialties. By the time you've finished their infamous Irish Wake, you'll be drunk enough to kiss the stuffed moose, and possibly even enjoy the bagpipers! You also get to keep the souvenir mason jar the drink is served in. First-time visitors are expected to pin a dollar bill to the wall with their name on it, a tradition that has resulted in over a half-million dollars papering the walls and ceiling. Sunday brunch is amazing, with giant six egg omelets, bottomless Mimosa's, and good prices. See "Events" for information on McGuire's Running Club on Tuesday nights. Dinner $12-25. $5 draft.

Everything about this poetry-themed independent cafe screams Starbucks, from the green-circle logo to the drive-thru to the frappuccino-like drinks.

Make sure to tip the workers, since otherwise, they don't get paid for this! Wi-Fi available, and a small internet cafe in the corner. 
  • Starbucks. Starbucks came to Pensacola in 1997 with the Barnes and Noble Bookstore, and Pensacolians took a liking to it; there are multiple locations in the north part of the city, as well as are two serving NAS Pensacola. The store at 5040 Bayou Blvd, near Cordova Mall has live music on Saturday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30PM. 

Spavati

Pensacola offers dozens of hotels, from small weathered motels to full-service resorts. Vacation rentals are also a popular option for large groups or extended stays. Since Pensacola often has a large influx of evacuees from other cities during the hurricane season, there are a large number of extended-stay hotels and suites available in the city. Outside of hurricane season, you can often find a great deal on these rooms.

If you're looking to spend a lot of time on the beach, you may want to look at hotels in Plaža Pensacola ili Ključ Perdido, which will save you a lot of driving. Also, if you are military, or have a military ID, you can stay at the Navy Lodge at NAS Pensacola. Rooms are spartan, but cheap, and the location is on a bluff overlooking the beach.

Proračun

Many major hotel chains have a presence in Pensacola, including all the usual budget suspects. Most of these budget hotels are located along I-10 on Plantation Rd at the Davis Hwy exit, and at the Pensacola Blvd exit. The attractions of Pensacola are about a twenty-minute drive from here. Unless you're on an extreme budget, avoid the cheap motels along the portion of Hwy 90 known as Mobile Hwy; this is a high-crime area, and the motels there are rundown and unsavory.

Tropical weather can be a hazard, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. In the event of an approaching hurricane or tropical storm, pay attention to television and radio news alerts, who will tell you what to do and what to expect. Typically when a hurricane is imminent, people staying at beaches, low-lying areas, and trailer homes will be asked to evacuate further inland. If your area is asked to evacuate, do so immediately, before traffic slows to a crawl; the most dangerous place to be in a hurricane is stuck in traffic. Hurricane-safe shelters, built inside public schools, will be opened to anyone who needs them.

Theft and crime are minor problems in Pensacola, and you'll be safe if you stick to the main tourist areas. Avoid the area of Pensacola known as Brownsville, on Highway 90 from D Street to Mobile Highway; although the sheriff's office has tried to curb crime in this area, drugs and prostitution still make it a dangerous area to linger in.

Promet in Pensacola is tame compared to large cities, but some roads have a reputation for being especially dangerous. Be careful when driving along Gulf Beach Highway; uska cesta s kroničnim brzinama i slijepim zavojima oduzima pola tuceta života godišnje. I-110 u teškoj je gradnji, a prebrza vožnja ovdje nije samo opasna, vrlo je vjerojatno da ćete zaraditi prometnu kartu. I-10 kroz Pensacolu je poznat po tome što je brza zamka; imajte na umu da ograničenje brzine pada na 60 MPH dok je u području Pensacole, a ne 70 MPH kao u susjednim županijama.

  • Plaža Pensacola nalazi se južno od Pensacole, na otoku Santa Rosa, i nudi kupovinu na rivi, hotele, bijelo-pješčane plaže i utvrdu Pickens. Vozite se mostom do zaljeva Pensacola do Gulf Breeze i skrenite desno kod divovskog znaka sabljarki na plaži Pensacola. Mala je cestarina od 1 USD za ulazak u zajednicu. Tijekom vožnje kroz Gulf Breeze, pripazite na ograničenje brzine; policija je ovdje zloglasna po ciljanju turista i dat će vam kartu za vožnju čak i jedne milje na sat preko ograničenja brzine.
  • Ključ Perdido udaljen je oko 25 kilometara zapadno od centra grada Pensacola i izvrsno je mjesto na plaži koje je manje zauzeto od plaže Pensacola. Dom državnog rekreacijskog područja Big Lagoon, Nacionalne morske obale Gulf Islanda, ruševina Fort Mcree i dnevnog boravka Flora-Bama.
