Fodder & Shine
5910 North Florida AvenueBEST Sunday Brunch EVER. If you're not there 45 min before it even opens, you will probably have to wait an hour for a table. Which is TOTALLY okay because they have HUGE, DELICIOUS mimosa's to keep you happy. A MUST.

HIDDEN GEM. They bake and sell bread to all the local restaurants- but.. they also have a little counter of pastries, and they are amazing! The inside is huge and you feel like you snuck behind the scenes and the bakers are making delicious treats just for you. The apple fritter... oh.my.goodness.

If you love yourself, go here. This place is iconic in the Tampa area, and was even featured (THIS LOCATION) on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. Taco Bus has expanded and has some locations around the Tampa area, but this one is the one everyone wants to go to. It's right down the street, so no excuses :) I recommend the Butternut Squash burrito. Love love love.

Shopping
Essential. Stock up on all those beers you've never heard of before but have always wanted to try. Beer isn't your thing, that's okay- they have everything. This is the place you wish was a full bar so it wouldn't be weird for you to hang out there. It would be a little weird though.. :)

Everything Else
Do you love your dog? Did you bring them with you? Then go here. It's your vacation, but that doesn't mean your pup shouldn't get to enjoy themselves a little bit. They have self-dog wash stations with all the necessities to have a squeeky clean buddy.

Drinks & Nightlife
South Howard is where you go if you want to bar hop. DJ's, a few night clubs, and a lot of bars. There are paid parking lots, but if you drive around a little you can find a spot. Also, UBER! (Don't drink and drive :) )

We lived a block from this iconic walkway before buying our home. It is beautiful. There are always people out, rain or shine. It's a beautiful way to enjoy the Tampa Bay. On a good day, you might see a dolphin swimming by, or sting rays. You'll always see jumping fish and little crabs :) It's a perfect path for runners, bikers, walkers, families, and roller bladers (yes, that's back)
