La France

Everything you could ever want for your antique fashion need and inspiration. From fedoras to flapper dresses, beautiful designs, and great aura with pieces for men and women.

Big City Tavern

Do you know what it takes to find a real cosmo in this city? Try sellin' your soul to the nearest strip mall developer. But Big City has 'em. From the smoothest Cosmopolitain to the richest Expresso Martini, and a sophisticated atmosphere.

Orpheum

The Orpheum is one of the few places that brings diamond in the rough grungepunk scene. Underground hip-hop, electronica, and underdepressed music to sooth the most raveged overdramatic soul.

Vinyl Fever Cds Lps & Tapes

For every great musical artist otherwise deemed "obscure" in the major chains, digital and non versions of them all, this is the place to go. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly beings found here.

Pearl Artist & Craft Supply

Okay people, Pearl Paint is an ART store. A high end art store. Stop the madness. Redirect the little ladies w blue hair to the Picadilly down the street. Defend our creativity!

Ybor Styles

In the vein of upscale film houses kin to those found in DC, the Centro Ybor theatres offer comfortable seating, multiple screens of the latest films, and special theatres with full bar service.

Blackhawk Coffee Cafe

Hidden in a small walking cul-de-sac of the Hyde Park shops, a small but cozy cafe offers, warm coffee, sweet desserts, beer, wine, and plush couches. Good for a different experience than the normal fast coffee cafe.

PROS: comfortable
CONS:

Tampa Theatre

One of the most beautiful architectural works of the area houses some of the most brilliant and challenging films released. If you want intelligent film instead of hollywood movies, this is the one place to be. Occasional concerts and film festivals hosted as well.

PROS: everything
CONS: nothing

Tampa Museum of Art

The art scene has been forever dying here, but the Tampa Museum of Art is the last museum in the city. With a repository of greek and roman artifacts hording one side, an occasional spark of hope luminates the other. Worth supporting if you are a true patron of the Arts.

PROS: art
CONS: not enough Art
