Tampa Bay Recs
I was born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, and I’d love to share my home with you. We’ve got two great cities, Tampa and St. Pete, right next to each other, both offering plenty of diverse and unique cafes, restaurants, bookstores, and events. I’ve compiled a list of some places with the help of my friends and hope you enjoy these places as well.
(Not many of these places were mentioned in the book to avoid any issues)
There are plenty more places to check out that are within thirty-to-forty-minute drive from both Tampa and St. Pete. I recommend you check out downtown Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and Tarpon Springs. If you’ve got the time, we have plenty of fresh springs to check out as well. They are a bit of a drive, but so worth it! And of course, Orlando is a two-hours by car.
**Tarpon Springs has The Sponge Docks and Howard Park (from the book!).
Here’s a short list of some profiles that focus on these locations.
