    Visiting Tampa with the wife, whose friend is getting married.

    I'll have some free time, since she's the Maid of Honor.

    Any tips on worthwhile things to do/see in Tampa?

    Thanks!

    So far my To Do list includes the old Cuban section of town for a cigar and Cubano sandwich.

    Hookers are clean and you can trust them with your wallet.

    Found a place called Hotel Epicure that looks like it has a good wine store and maybe other good stuff.

    Also Cigar City Brewery. :)

    I'll skip the hookers (including Maynard) and strip joints... thanks though guys.

    Discovered Bern's Steakhouse online.... I'm in ****ing heaven. Going there for sure.

    Steak house with the largest wine selection in America? Yes please.

    I'm not being silly, bring sunglasses. Tampa and its roads are situated in some alternate reality where no matter which direction you are driving, the sun is directly in your eyes.

    Seriously, there's places on I-4, I-75 & I-275 that you literally will drive blind for a few seconds. Its horrifying for someone who doesn't live there.

    Check out the Columbia restaurant. Really good and they make their sangria fresh.

    No one uses Craigslist but riff-raff. Angie's List, man.

    In Tampa. Plan for tomorrow:

    Jet City Espresso
    Cigar City Brewery for tasting
    Mise en Place for lunch
    King Cigars in Ybor City
    Bern's for wine and cognac taste.
    Then back our hosts house where I will do a live online webinar to end the day.

    Fun!


    My two cents via iPhone.

    To sum up:

    Jet City Espresso - Great Cafe Borgia
    Cigar City Brewery for tasting - Skipped it.
    Mise en Place for lunch - Fantastic, as was Oxford-something-or-other store, reataurant and coffee bar
    King Cigars in Ybor City - Great. Found a good smoke for under $10.
    Bern's for wine and cognac taste. - Great. Tour of cellar, steak, bottle of Krug, Imperial Paradis Cognac and dessert sampler.

    About to do webinar now..

    Fun! _ YES!!!!

    You hit some good spots. Oxford Exchange is the cool 'everything' place you went.

    Berns is awesome...also the Columbia restaurant in Ybor City use to be very good...Cuban Sandwiches, Garbanzo bean soup, and deviled crab out of this world.It is too I bad that The Seabreaze is no longer at the Port of Tampa as it was there from the turn of the last century up until.8-10 years agoDaytime in Ybor City is pretty cool and you can get Cigars down there..I guess it is still safe lol..
