Things To Do
🌴 Tampa Riverwalk
A scenic waterfront pathway connecting many of Tampa’s best attractions. Perfect for a morning stroll, sunset views, or exploring by bike or scooter.
🍽️ Our Favorite Restaurant: Oak & Ola
Located inside Armature Works, Oak & Ola is our absolute favorite! With a European-inspired menu, cozy atmosphere, and craft cocktails, it’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or a date-night dinner. Don’t miss Tony’s favorite drink — the Josefina — a smoky take on a spicy margarita that’s bold and refreshing. And for something rich and smooth, try Meghan’s favorite — the Golden Oak, made with brown butter bourbon. It’s warm, slightly sweet, and perfect for sipping.
🪶 Ulele
Located on the northern end of the Riverwalk, Ulele serves native-inspired foods and craft brews in a stunning restored building. It’s a beautiful spot for lunch or dinner by the water. For a taste of true Florida native cuisine, try the gator bites — lightly fried and served with a flavorful honey hot sauce. Adventurous and delicious!
🍽️ Columbia Restaurant – Ybor City
Florida’s oldest restaurant, Columbia is a Tampa institution. Known for its classic Spanish-Cuban dishes, sangria, and live flamenco shows. It’s a must-visit if you’re heading to Ybor!
