Had your fill of winter? Ticked off at rodents in top hats predicting more winter weather? Finally caved and headed for Tampa to actually see the sun? Then let us help you.
After a long day of lying on the beach and laughing at all those suckers brushing snow off of their cars, you’re going to want to eat. Rather than trust your Uber driver, or the local Visitors Bureau website, let us help.
Tampa Skyline at Night
We have a vast library of restaurants all across the lower 48. You won’t find national chains. You’re on vacation, why eat crap you can have at home? You also won’t find pizza joints. There’s a gazillion of them in every city. Pizza doesn’t need found. It walks up to you on nearly every street corner like a panhandler asking for change.
What you will find is local faves. Hidden gems, Mom & Pops, diners, BBQ joints, hole in the wall bars, and seafood shacks. We also point out the local superstars. Michelin or James Beard level places. Because if you’re already escaping winter reality you may as well treat yourself to at least one amazing, unforgettable, meal or cocktail to make it all worthwhile.
Cheers!
