Eat
  • Sucré et salé translates to “sweet and savory” — which perfectly describes Pass-a-Grille’s new creperie, Paradise To Go (116 8th Ave.). The shop offers an array of sandwiches, fresh bagels, and quick bites for beachgoers. Plus, it’s open all week long from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (I Love the Burg)
Drink
  • Rose’s Coffee Bar will open at 1234 Central Ave in early 2024. in the upcoming Moxy Hotel in St. Pete’s EDGE district. It will offer lattes, cappuccinos, nitro coffee, cold brew, and drip coffee. (St. Pete Rising)
  • Looking for a new boba spot? Manga Tea (5330 Ehrlich Rd., Suite 133) opens Saturday, April 1 in Carrollwood. The shop aims to transport sippers to the streets of Tokyo with its traditional Japanese decor infused with colorful anime-style posters. (That’s So Tampa)
Real Estate
  • Tampa Bay’s new apartments are roomier, on average than ones in other major cities, per a new RentCafe report. The south trended on the bigger side of things — and vice versa in the north.

Today Is
  • St. Patrick’s Day. Observed to honor the death of St. Patrick, the annual holiday is celebrated globally and often features Irish dishes, parades, and dancing. If you need a chuckle, head to Side Splitters Comedy Club in Wesley Chapel to enjoy a set from Irish performer Sean Finnerty.
Plan Ahead
  • The Tampa Pride Street Festival + Health and Wellness Fair is returning to Ybor on Saturday, March 25. The all-day event is comprised of a craft show and health fair at 11 a.m., a parade at 4 p.m., and a fiesta afterward at the Cuban Club. (ABC Action News)
Finance
  • A cash back card so good, even the experts had to have it. (Hint: Features include up to 5% cash back, a big sign-up bonus, and no annual fee.) See what it is.*
Number
  • $241. That’s the real price of a roundtrip ticket from Boston to Barcelona sold this year via Going — a travel membership that alerts you when flight prices drop. Sign up for a free membership or try an Elite membership for free if you’re interested in business and first class tickets, too.

Why us?

TIME says these are our key differentiators:
