South Tampa has everything you want: great restaurants, bars shopping and entertainment. Rarely are there traffic problems. A big city feel.

We asked the taxi to choose the best Asian restaurant. It was okay but lacked any sparkle on a week night with staff sitting around buffing their nails.

Trendy South Tampa is the place to see and be seen. It's full of young hipsters as well as the Tampa gentry. There are trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes. Bern's steakhouse is a must if you have never been. President's dine here! The dessert room is a great way to end the evening. At Hyde Park Village you can stroll... More

Lots of bars and restaurants and History with Cobblestone Streets in some areas. Particularly enjoyed a Mexican Taco/Tapas Bar called the Lime on Hyde Avenue, I believe.

South Tampa is lovely. There are endless little shops and great restaurants to try. It's upscale and most free of riff-raff. If you live in South Tampa, there is no other Tampa.

Picnic Island has been a recreational treasure in South Tampa since the late 19th century. It is well worth the drive down West Shore Boulevard, meander through Port Tampa's commercial district, and follow the signs to one of the oldest and best-kept secrets in West Florida!
