Food Scene
Datz is my favorite place in Tampa. I love going there for brunch or dinner, for coffee or cocktails. It's a farm-to-table place with creative menu items and the bakery next door with sweets to use a cheat day on.

Artisan foods and a little bit more expensive than some of my other food favorite, Ella's is a great place for happy hour or a nice dinner out. They have a great deck for outdoor dining, which is especially nice in non-summer and when there is a band playing inside. It's great for a romantic date or for a meet up with friends.

Drinks & Nightlife
Cigar City makes some of the best ciders and meads I've tasted. Yes, there are a TON of great breweries all over Tampa, but there is only one meadery. It's in the heart of Ybor, so it's great to start there and then hop to dinner, movie, show, or just another pub.

I LOVE COPPERTAIL! It's one of my favorite breweries. It has a huge amount of rotating taps, they host other local beers and ciders, and their newly opened kitchen is fantastic. They host trivia every Tuesday.

Entertainment & Activities
Big Cat is a unique kind of zoo. They rescue big cats from all over the world, for all different reasons. Touring the grounds is absolutely amazing. Sometimes you can even ask if Karmavore is working, and tell her that you're staying with Khaos. She is sometimes able to give special tours.

Tampa Roller Derby's home is only 3 blocks from our house! If you stay with us on a weekend between March and October, it is likely that there will be an event happening at The Wrecking Hall. Flat Track Roller Derby is a great night out, and we often end up at World of Beer, Fuzzy Tacos, or Southern Brewing Company for our afterparties.

There are currently two VVs in the area, and a third getting ready to open. St Pete has the more expansive climbing experience, and is better for the beginner-moderate climber. While you're there, swing by THE BODEGA for lunch just around the corner. It's the best Cuban food I've found in the area yet.

Arts & Culture
It's a bit of a drive, but boy is it worth it! Not only do you get to experience some of the less known Dali pieces, but there is a constant rotating exhibit in the other half of the building. They often have events and yoga in the courtyard. Near downtown St. Pete, it's a great reason to go down to my favorite art community.

Parks & Nature
Flatwoods is well-paved trail that is perfect for a longer bike, skate, or run. It is $2 to park, but it's a loop of (I think) 5 miles. There are water stations all along the trail, so don't fret if you have a small (or no) water bottle.

If you're looking for a shorter walk/run/bike, Lettuce Lake is beautiful. It's far more shaded than Flatwoods, but it's also much smaller. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent, and there is a boardwalk, but certain times of year they will be closed due to waters being too high. Parking is $2
