Like everything else at Bern’s, the dessert list is lengthy and over the top, offering Baked Alaska, all variations of chocolate pies, cakes and mousses, ice creams and sorbets, as well as dessert wines and coffee with spirits. The small, few-block district also has a chocolate shop, elegant but not overly expensive restaurants and bars, a dog boutique and other unique shops that make for a nice girls’ day out or a fun stroll with the family.Īlthough best known for aged steaks and extensive wine list, locals know a great treat is to swing by for a visit to the Harry Waugh Dessert Room, made up of many little intimate rooms for parties to enjoy a unique end to dinner. Hyde Park is a must-visit for those who like to browse popular retail chains such as West Elm, Anthropologie and Sur La Table, but don’t want to feel overwhelmed by a mall. Go shopping in Hyde Park Villageįor how lovely Tampa’s weather is for most of the year, it’s surprising how few outdoor shopping spots there are. Jump off Interstate 4 to stretch your legs and grab a shake from the Parkesdale Farm Market, or pick your own berries during u-pick season, which usually begins in April. Sweet and delicious, the berries make their way into everything from cobblers to muffins to martinis, but one of the more popular ways to consume them is via milkshake.

#THINGS TO DO NEAR TAMPA FLORIDA MOVIE#
The theatre opened with a silent movie in 1926 and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in the ‘70s. Sit in the Tampa Theatre and be entertained by the Mighty Wurlitzer organ pipes while you gaze around at the flamboyantly decorate interior of statues, flowers, stars, gargoyles and other touches that seem to draw from every architectural period in history. It’s hard not to whip out your phone and take a photo of the elegant sunrises that happen here.Īs one of the most beloved and gorgeous landmarks in Tampa, the carefully preserved “TAMPA” sign and old-time marquis out front reels you in, but it’s the inside that takes your breath away. It’s a popular spot for runners, skaters, cyclists, strollers, dog-walkers and anyone else looking for some fresh air, and its iconic decorative concrete balustrade is one of the most recognizable architectural features in Tampa. This 4.5-mile Bayshore Boulevard sidewalk and road provides the best view of the sparkling Hillsborough Bay while flanked on the other side by multi-million-dollar, historic south Tampa homes. This is a family-friendly place with a great vibe, which has earned it a reputation as one of the best concert venues in Florida. Throw back a Red Stripe and catch a Grateful Dead cover band, or just enjoy the “cracker-style” wooden plank décor and order some fried gator tail and Key lime pie.
Off the beaten path and tucked away from most of the city’s nightlife action, Skipper’s has been attracting the best blues, rock, reggae, bluegrass and folk music acts since 1980. The line to get on is usually the longest at the park, but it’s worth it, and the pause at the top gives you the best view in town. North America’s first “dive coaster” once held world records in speed and length (faster and longer dive coasters have since been built), and it’s still considered one of the top coasters in the U.S. If you can stomach dizzying heights, exhilarating twists and turns and a few hard plunges, ShieKra is one of the most fun things to do in Tampa and will not disappoint even the most jaded of thrill ride connoisseurs. Eat it with a Cuban coffee at the Columbia, touted as Florida’s oldest restaurant, with Ybor City roots dating back to 1905. Then hot press it until toasty and juicy.
As the debate roars on over which Florida city is the true birthplace of the Cuban sandwich (Miami or Tampa?), a consensus has been reached over what makes a real Tampa Cuban: ham, pork, salami, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on high quality, fresh Cuban bread.
