Living in Tampa Bay is a grand time, but that doesn’t mean we’re immune to parking woes, long lines, and other hassles.

Enter: Five life hacks from our friends at r/Tampa and r/StPetersburgFL.

We’ll add to this list with some of our own and more from Reddit as they come in.

  1. “Park in Ybor and take the trolley to Amalie.” — u/RadTek88
  2. “Coppertail Unholy Trippel. Available at every Publix for $11 for a six-pack. It’s a 9.2% beer, so it provides a bigger bang for your buck than a 12-pack of Bud Light.” — u/lowcarbbq
  3. “Order Pub Subs online.” — u/brewmann
  4. “Tampa, other than home games, is still pretty dead Sunday evening-Wednesday. These are the best nights to eat out if you’re trying to avoid the crowd.” — u/mislabeledgadget
  5. “If you’re a student, you can get “best available” seats at Straz for $10 an hour before the show. I sat front row one time.” — u/vlb2020
