The Friday Scoop
One more thing you should know before the weekend: one of Naples' most popular pizza restaurants is turning its parking lot into a neighborhood block party tomorrow.
From 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, LowBrow Pizza & Beer will host its second annual LowBrow Block Party, with live music, more than 20 local vendors, live art, family activities, an exotic car display, craft beer, and a charity raffle benefiting Lee Health. Admission is free.
If you haven't been to LowBrow before, this is a good introduction. The East Naples pizzeria has become one of the area's local favorites, known for its wood-fired pizzas with naturally leavened dough, scratch-made sauces, creative specialty pies, and an extensive craft beer selection. It has been voted Best Pizza in Naples seven times and recently earned Best Pizza and Best Wings in Collier County for 2026.
Favorite slices include the Cortez the Killer, topped with chorizo, roasted corn, potatoes and cotija cheese, and the Cheesus H. Crust or one of the restaurant's rotating weekly specials. Tomorrow's block party will also debut Brewski, a new light lager brewed with Riptide Brewing and finished with lemon and lime zest.
Last year's event drew more than 1,000 people, and organizers are expecting an even bigger crowd this weekend.

The Naples Trip With a Second Itinerary 🌴
The private heated pool and covered lanai make it easy for one afternoon plan to become the whole evening.
You arrive with one plan.
Then the house quietly gives you another.

The Naples That Actually Happens
💦 Everyone ends up in the heated pool
🥭 Someone notices the seasonal mango trees
🔥 Dinner moves to the BBQ grill
🥂 The group decides to stay outside
The backyard is built for that change of plans, with a private waterfall pool, tropical landscaping, outdoor dining, and enough space for the afternoon to become the evening.
Inside, four bedrooms give families and friends room to stay together comfortably:
4 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · Sleeps 5–8
Two king beds · One queen · Two twins
Pet-friendly too 🐾
The beach, restaurants, shopping, downtown Naples, and paddle access are all nearby.
But the part everyone talks about later may be the night nobody felt like going anywhere.
This Week’s Poll:
What does your ideal Naples afternoon look like? 🌴
Why It Matters
Some of the best Naples weekends begin with a place that already feels like part of the neighborhood.
A pizza restaurant becomes a block party, the parking lot fills with music and local vendors, and a quick dinner turns into an evening spent with friends and familiar faces.
However you spend the weekend, I hope you find one good reason to get out, support a local business, and enjoy the community around you.
Enjoy the weekend,
