Ulele
If you’re looking for a nice place to relax that offers a stellar view and good food, opt for Tampa’s Ulele. Said to be a native-inspired restaurant and brewery, it sources fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and proteins from Florida (as they’re available). When not available, they use food harvested from family-owned companies in the U.S.

Mise en Place
Can I just tell you how much I loved Mise en Place? Located by Tampa’s downtown college campus, it’s sleek and modern, sophisticated and quiet.

Tarpon Springs

Some of Florida’s earliest indigenous people settled near the mouth of the Anclote River at Tarpon Springs over 500 years ago. They left behind earthen burial mounds that yielded beautiful pottery and plentiful artifacts. These

Oxford Exchange
By the name, you might get the impression that this is some sort of swap meet or, by the photo, a used bookstore (although I’ve never seen a used bookstore with quite such a fancy floor). You’d be wrong. With inspiration from the clubs, libraries and shops of London, Oxford Exchange was built in 1891
