Casual lunch/dinner option that is easy on the wallet. Indoor & outdoor seating. I like their happy hour Monday-Friday where I can get half price house wine. I believe it comes out to 2.50 a glass or so.

$2.50 for a huge (2 feet) fresh loaf of Cuban Bread in this local take-out bakery. They also have other pastries for sale like guava and cheese or simple donuts. Grab a treat and walk next door to Spaddy's coffee cart and grab a delicious drink and relax at one of many tables in the shade. They are open 24 hours a day and only close from noon Saturday until Sunday morning.

Shopping
This Spanish supermarket is a great place to grab a few items you may need. My favorite part of this store is the hot food counter. They serve many traditional Spanish dishes and cuban sandwiches for under 5 dollars. They also make breakfast Cuban sandwiches. They do not have seating, so it is great for takeout. Open from 7 am til 8 pm. P.S. No need to habla Espanol...they know English :)

Sightseeing
We suggest parking at the northern-most point (where Ulele's restaurant is) and after enjoying the park, head south along the beautiful riverfront path which connects 5 museums, 7 parks, and numerous outdoor gathering spots. If you follow it to the end, you will end up in Channelside where the Florida Aquarium is located.

This iconic street runs along Tampa Bay for 4 and 1/2 miles one way. There is a pretty fantastic sidewalk about 10 feet wide that thousands of people use to walk, run, skate, and stare at beautiful people....I mean houses. Some of the area's most expensive houses line this street. It is always a fun activity if you are active. Great waterfront views along the entire route. You can start in the downtown area and head south.

This Hillsborough County park is a great Florida experience. There is a long boardwalk to travel through natural habitat while looking for gators, snakes, and turtles. The observation tower is great to get a bird's eye view of the river and surrounding area. I believe there is a small fee (3-5 dollars) at the gate. They also rent canoes here if that is on your bucket list. Don't fall in...the gators are pretty large in this area ;)

Check out their website to see if it is manatee viewing season. It is about a half hour drive, but if you are out in the eastern side of the county it is a great place to stop to see manatees in their natural habitat. They come to the warm waters of the power plant during the winter season.
