Things To Do
Museum of Fine Arts
Saturday Morning Market
If you have no plans on the morning of the wedding, this is a great market to stop by on a stroll downtown.
The Dalí Museum
For any downtime you might have, St. Pete has some fantastic museums to visit. The Dali is truly a gem here and they also usually have a rotating visual exhibit that is always awesome to see.
The Dog Bar
If you brought a furry friend along (or are just looking for a drink and great company) stop by The Dog Bar on central ave! Kaia's favorite drinking hole where she can see Suz!
North shore park
Stroll this cute area near the water and into the Snell Isle neighborhood / the oldnortheast neighborhood, both just around the corner from the Vinoy. Try to catch a sunset here (or sunrise)!
Cafe Clementine
The absolute best pastry, breakfast, and lunch spot in St. Pete and a 5 minute walk from the Vinoy. This cafe is located inside the Museum of Fine Arts, but no admission required to enter. Try the seasonal scone or coffee while you're here!
Paradeco Coffee Roasters
For a quick coffee nearby or the best french toast, make a stop here. Paradeco has a beautiful shop just around the corner from the Vinoy. Take a walk along the water or Beach Drive to reach this unique St. Pete coffee spot!
Perry's Porch
This is a new spot that just opened on the Pier and is a great place to great a coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Take a lap around the Pier while you're over here and enjoy beautiful downtown St. Pete views!
Pineapple Espresso
A drive-through only option for a busy wedding morning, or a quick stop when coming off the highway, this is Mary's go-to coffee spot. Try a maple-lavender latte or lemon yogurt parfait while you're here (but you can't go wrong with anything on this menu!)
Black Crow Coffee Shop
A quaint local coffee shop inside the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood and where Mary first learned to love coffee! Try a Maui morning muffin and a flat white (Mary's order) or something unique like the banana mocha latte, or one of the seasonal drinks!
Baba Restaurant
A clean, beautiful, centrally located spot for a light meal any time of the day. Try their hummus of the day or Mary and Rowly's favorite appetizer, octopus!
Bandit Coffee Co.
The best breakfast in downtown St. Pete. If you're able to get past the pastry case, try ordering the chorizo breakfast burrito or simple bandit breakfast (fresh made sourdough included!!). The maple bourbon latte is also a must order during this season.
Il Ritorno
For any foodies looking for a spectacular Italian meal, check out this local favorite spot on central!
Kahwa Coffee
Another local coffee spot that Mary loves. Kahwa is a local chain and has the best espresso around. Try a lavender latte or mocha while you're here.
Paciugo Gelato & Caffè
The best gelato around and 5 minutes from the Vinoy!
Allelo
Close by to the Vinoy and excellent tapas for a close dinner or lunch spot.
Paul's Landing
The perfect spot for any meal with excellent views of downtown. This spot is right above the Vinoy pool and overlooks the water and downtown St. Pete!
Hook's on 9th
If you’re looking for the best local sushi spot try Hook’s! Try an order of rice fries and the shaggy dog roll. Two classics!
Shoreline Sugars Boutique
Need a last minute outfit or accessory? This is my favorite local boutique in the area. Whether you need a dress, a top, or a new claw clip, Shoreline is the best place to go. So many unique pieces & the best service!
