Food & Wine - Surrounded by waving seagrass, salt flats, white ibis, and murky swamps, Highway 41 (known as Tamiami Trail) was the original Alligator Alley and the one way into Florida's Everglades City. The population hovers under 500 in this quaint fishing town, the self-proclaimed Stone Crab Capital of the World. Stone crab traps line the yard surrounding the Museum of the Everglades, waiting to be assembled into the annual crab trap holiday tree. Everywhere you look, the influence of this small creature can be seen from the errant buoys, to the bits of seagrass blowing around, to the little markets and restaurants emblazoned with dates of stone crab season.
