Be ready to experience something new,&#8221; Rosario says.<\/p>\n<p>Rosario\u2019s book <i>100 Things to Do in Tallahassee Before You Die<\/i> includes categories like dining, recreation, and culture. It also breaks down entertainment options based on seasons.<\/p>\n<p>She says her list started in 2016, long before she had a book deal. \u201cMy friend had challenged me and said there\u2019s nothing to do in Tallahassee,\u201d Rosario says. \u201cSo that night I went home, and I started my journal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several years later, Reedy Press was looking for a local author to write a <i>100 Things<\/i> book. The company has published this format in cities nationwide. Rosario had written two other books, <i>Know Your Worth<\/i> and <i>Own Your Fire<\/i>. So, when they asked her to do it, she already had experience as a writer and as a curator of things to do in and around Tallahassee.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the book actually lists more than 100 things.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/f3\/3b\/958a03e1490285f37e7d864502b2\/ely-and-kids-small.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Ely and her three kids enjoying the great outdoors\"><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Here\u2019s a sampling from the book:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Food and Drink<\/b> \u2013 Black Dog Caf\u00e9 at Lake Ella, Madison Social in CollegeTown, Bar 1903 (Library of Cocktails), Ology Brewing<\/p>\n<p><b>Music and Entertainment<\/b> \u2013 FSU\u2019s Opening Nights series, Word of South Festival, Fish Camp at Lake Iamonia, The Hub at Feather Oaks<\/p>\n<p><b>Sports and Recreation<\/b> &#8211; Fishing at the St. Marks River, Tree-to-Tree Adventure at the Tallahassee Museum, Alchemy Climbing, FSU Rez Lakefront Park<\/p>\n<p><b>Culture and History<\/b> \u2013 Mission San Luis, Grove Museum, John G.
