I need your help Tampa Bay. Where are those scary looking hole-in-the-wall places that have amazing food or maybe they serve what some may consider to be questionable fare? Here’s the catch……in St Pete.
I need to compose a list of at least 12 places. These establishment’s can be anywhere in the St Pete area. [...]

A very good source has informed me that the Bungalow Bistro will be opened this Sunday for Brunch! Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I love Brunch. I’m not a real big breakfast person, but something about having the decision between Eggs Florentine Benedict and a hearty Roast Beef sandwich with a cup of Soup de Jour just does something [...]

Best 24-hour Restaurant – Three Coins

Three Coins recently changed owners and has gotten a lot of favorable buzz. One of the great changes they made was to turn themselves into a 24-hour diner. It makes me yearn for the days when my days were nights.
Another great change they made was to start accepting cards.

When I first moved to Tampa I thought people were talking about Alessi Italian Bar & Grill when they mentioned Alessi’s. The Italian bar and grill serves pizzas that have crusts [...]

I love New World Brewery. They have a tremendous selection of beer, great free jukebox, pinball, foosball, and a soothing fountain in the middle of their beer garden. Beer is the specialty here. There’s no liquor, and only one kind of wine.
There’s live music on most Fridays and Saturdays, and a DJ on Wednesdays [...]
