The best places to go in Tampa are Ybor city for a busy night and sophisticated lunches. Ybor City is a historical location that has been sucessfuly integrated in the ciy's urban planning strategy: it used to be a Cuban cigars factory and nowadays has some of the funkiest restaurants and retail stores in Tampa. Colombia is my favourite restaurant in Ybor, on thursdays they have live flamenco dancers, its a great atmosphere! Gasparilla Festival should not be missed; Bahasa and Hyde Park Cafe for Latin Music; McDinttons for an European-pub feel and Westshore to enjoy the bay view and some of Tampa's best houses.
