The beaches near us are unmatched! If you have the time, we recommend spending a day at St. Pete Beach or Clearwater.
The island that we had our first real date and where Mike proposed, but more importantly to you all - it's where Tom Brady lives. This is a very local island and has a few cute restaurants to try. Our favorites are Margaritas or Davis Island Pizza. A nicer Italian choice is Oggi which is also very good! There is also a small beach at the very end of the island with the best sunsets :)
A great place for dinner and/ or drinks right on the water with views of downtown Tampa.
Cute little area for shopping and eating. Our favorite restaurants here are Bar Taco and Forbichi.
We eat here wayyy too much. If you are looking for a quick and healthy lunch go here! It is make your own bowl style and the flavors are unbeatable.
A nice outdoor area to hang out - food, a beer garden, and a fancy bowling alley.
A cool industrial building that was restored and now has tons of mini restaurants to order from. The rooftop bar here, M. Bird, makes some great cocktails and has great views of the water and city :)
The best and greasiest hole in the wall sports bar to watch sports and have a beer. Mike loves to root against Heather's Chiefs here.
This street has a few of our favorites - Daily Eats (Mike's favorite restaurant), Green Lemon (Heather's favorite mexican food). This street also known to Tampa as "SoHo" has a few bars for the younger crowd - SoHo Saloon, MacDittons, and Bar Howard if you are feeling rowdy.
