Rabbit rabbit. A new month is here Tampa Bay, and we’re here to take you to some of our favorite hidden gems. I mean... that’s what we do around here.

  • First off, if you haven’t been yet, we highly recommend a visit to the Tampa Riverwalk. There’s so many lesser known spots along the 2.6 mile path, like Ulele, American Social, and Armature Works.
  • Next up has got to be the St. Pete Pier — and the highly underrated Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. And we recommend grabbing a perch at the Pier’s end to watch the sunset. Did you know that sometimes there’s even dolphins?
  • And finally, we recommend taking a trip to International Plaza & Bay Street. There’s a lot of under the radar brands to shop, like Louis Vuitton, Lush, Lululemon, and Urban Outfitters.

Just kidding. Happy April Fools’ Day, TBAY. You knew that was coming.
