Things To Do
Columbia Restaurant
Great Cuban restaurant down the street in Ybor! Make sure to get the 1905 salad and a pitcher of mojitos!
Armature Works
Great food hall with plenty of options on the Hillsborough River. A mixture of different cuisine and drink options for all interests. Armature Works is also conveniently located on the Tampa Bay Riverwalk.
Oxford Exchange
When anyone comes to Tampa for the first time, Oxford Exchange is normally always at the top of the the recommendation list. Oxford is located directly across the street from the University of Tampa and is broken into multiple sections providing an array of things to do. Whether you're shopping for goods, browsing books, making candles, enjoying coffee or tea, or dining at their restaurant, Oxford has what you're interested in! Bonus Points: Tom used to work here as a server!
Sparkman Wharf
Conveniently located off the Tampa River Walk and TECO Street Car route, Sparkman Wharf is a hub to another outdoor food market bustling with people. This place is a popular attraction for being able to enjoy the weather outside comfortably in an Adirondack.
SuperNatural Food & Wine
If you can get them before they sellout for the day, SuperNatural has Michelin rated sourdough donuts!!! Huge recommendation to grab a donut and a breakfast sandwich before the festivities begin on Saturday!
Hyde Park Village
Great walkable neighborhood with an array of restaurants and shops conveniently located near Bayshore Boulevard.
Coppertail Brewing Co.
Brewery that Jess and Tom frequent when in Ybor City. Come here to enjoy sampler flights of craft beers brewed at a facility painted with bright street art, plus a solid bar food menu.
Tiny Tap Tavern
Exactly what you expect, our favor local dive bar! Jess & I frequent this spot with our friends and love being able to play music freely on TouchTunes, enjoy cheap beer, and meet random (but interesting) Tampanians!
