If you do drive to the Keys, make sure your rental has the sunpass option. The tolls are no-cash.

Take your time on the drive--there are several intersting things to see/do on the way.
Bahia Honda state park has a decent beach and cool views.

The No Name Pub on Big Pine has decent pizza and is near the Key deer refuge--you can always spot a few on the dead-end road.

Some suggestions for Key West proper.

Hogfish grill (actually on stock island before crossing over into Key West) decent local dive/food.

If you like oysters/peel and eat shrimp hit up Turtle Kraals for Happy Hour, great prices, great food.

Alonzos and A&B have arleady been mentioned.

You should definately take a stroll down Duval and hit Sloppy Joes' and Capt Tonys just for the experience. At capt tonys, check out the grave near the pool tables and ask about the skeleton behind the bar

If feeling adventurous go to the top of Bull & Whistle and check out garden of eden (clothing optional--no cameras)

One of the coolest things I have done in KW is the Butterfly Conservatory--very unique place.

Hit up the Schooner Wharf for a nice view and dive-bar atmosphere(I wouldn't eat here though)

Watch the sunset on Mallory Square and catch some of the local acts.

Lots to do in KW and the other keys as well.
