Ways to celebrate yourself in Tampa Bay

We’re here to remind you to take care of yourself — whether that be with a treat or a good laugh.

Indulge in a nostalgic treat.

Whatever your plans are for today, we hope you’re celebrating you. Here’s a few more ideas for making the most of the holiday.

  • Pop into a coffee shop you haven’t tried for a snack, fancy latte, or just a regular hot cup of coffee that you didn’t have to make yourself. We recommend trying a Pete’s General’s conversation heart sugar cookie or a “Kiss from a Rose” latte at Blind Tiger. Or indulge in a little post-workday treat with a Monroe (vodka, peach, strawberry, cream and lemon) at Cru Cellars. Pro tip: pairs well with eavesdropping.
  • Stop by Tombolo Books for a “blind date with a book” or choose a new read from the arrivals table at your local library branch.
  • Have you checked out the Florida State Fair yet? Head over to the fairgrounds to try out the Tampa Cuban Funnel Cake, or just to grab a nostalgic treat (we adore fried oreos).
  • Debut a story you’ve never shared at theStudio@620’s monthly open mic night.
