TBAY, welcome to the brainstorm sesh.

We need your help rounding up all of the unspoken rules + guidelines you follow as a Tampa Bay area resident. There’s just a certain kind of etiquette when it comes to Florida living, but we all know TBAY has its own set of rules.

Here’s a few places to start

  • Your number one piece of advice you give visitors or newcomers
  • The unspoken rule everyone knows (think: parking, happy hour deals, freebies)
  • How we treat our neighbors
  • Commuting pro tips
  • Things to laugh about
  • We remember when…
  • You know they’re from out of town when...
  • Local government 101

Tips from Reddit users

  • “Cuban toast is meant to be dunked in cafe con leche at breakfast.”
