Keir Magoulas & Visit Tampa Bay
With its mix of historic architecture and modern landmarks, a culture infused with Cuban and Spanish flavors, vibrant business districts, and beautiful waterways, Tampa is a wonderful place to work, play and unwind. Regularly ranking among the best cities in Florida, an array of unique eateries, popular shops and special events make Tampa an ideal setting for residents and tourists alike.
Hyde Park Village – Things to Do in Tampa
Tampa is constantly transforming and introducing charming new boutiques and delicious dining concepts. Hyde Park Village, situated in the heart of the historic Hyde Park neighborhood, is one of its most beloved destinations.
Restaurants in Tampa such as bartaco, On Swann, and Forbici Modern Italian offer distinctive cuisine in stylish indoor-outdoor atmospheres. Desserts are equally represented here with Sprinkles’ Gourmet cupcakes, Hyppo’s artisan popsicles, and Sorrento Sweets’ classic Italian pastries all steps away from Hyde Park Village’s iconic central square.
Soak in the sunshine and fresh air as you explore new boutiques in Tampa. Hyde Park Village’s retailers include Anthropologie, Lululemon, Madewell, Brooks Brothers, and Vineyard Vines. Stop and refuel with a fresh cup of coffee at Buddy Brew and sip and stroll at your leisure.
Hyde Park Village has continued to elevate the South Tampa shopping and dining experience, and recently opening the doors of a Clean Juice bar and a SoulCycle studio – this is the very first SoulCycle on Florida’s West Coast!

St. Pete Pier
The hotly anticipated $92 million St. Pete Pier is just a short drive or boat ride across Tampa Bay from Marina Pointe. Sprawling across 26 acres of land jutting out into the bay, the new pier has plenty of new culinary offerings to suit every taste – you can also do a bit of outdoor shopping and support local artisans at the Marketplace located near the entrance to the Pier.
Pack your own picnic and relax on one of the open green areas along the bayfront, where you can see the city unfold before you as you listen to live performances. If a picnic isn’t your style, enjoy a meal from one of the Pier’s four new restaurants in St. Pete, which range from the casual Driftwood Café to the elegant Teak restaurant.
Pier Teaki, a Polynesian-themed rooftop bar perfectly positioned at the tip of the Pier, is an absolute must see. The refreshing pina coladas, fresh-caught grouper sandwiches and 360° views of Tampa Bay and the downtown skyline make this bar the shining jewel of the new Pier District.
