This burgeoning, 16-block district—part of an ongoing urban redevelopment project—has changed Downtown Tampa’s cityscape by bringing residences, offices, hotels (including the new Tampa EDITION), shops, restaurants, bars, and pleasant outdoor spaces to the waterfront. Eateries range from the casual yet upscale Anchor and Brine to the sophisticated Battery. Shops include DWELL Home Market, Yura Vine Brothers, and The Modern Paws.
Ybor City's destination within a destination, this dining-and-entertainment palace has at least 20 shops, bars, and restaurants, with the latter serving everything from gourmet popsicles to upscale sushi.
In addition to a food court and sit-down restaurants, International Plaza has more than 200 stores that include big-name clothing retailers—from Armani Exchange and Burberry to Abercrombie & Fitch—as well as specialty shops selling everything from handbags to jewelry to home décor. Be sure to wander the open-air Bay Street, which has additional boutiques and 16 full-service restaurants and bars.
In Ybor City, a few small shops still practice the craft of hang-rolling cigars, including this establishment, which also has a café and plentiful outdoor seating.
Within this upscale shopping district's six blocks, you’ll find exclusive retailers such as Rag & Bone, Albisia, and Wolford, as well as locally owned shops. Eateries include Tampa classics like the Goody Goody restaurant; contemporary spots like the Meat Market steak house; and more modern places like Timpano, which serves Italian. Be sure to check out the district’s calendar of events. There’s always something fun going on!
