Ybor City is the center of nightlife within the Tampa Bay Area. The Latin background together with the contemporary number of eateries and activities make it a great spot to go on a date, particularly an awesome first date. Among the more distinctive Tampa Florida attractions, it offers the kinds of options you can use to try to make it an occasion to remember.
First of all, Ybor City is centrally located and uncomplicated to access via anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. Just take the 22nd Street Ybor City exit off of I-4. It is the exit nearest the junction with I-275. In case you are coming from the surrounding area, MacDill Air Force Base or parts of St. Pete, you'll want to travel the Leroy Selmon Crosstown Expressway and get off once you see the IKEA shop. There is a car park near 5th Avenue and 16th Street in case you can't come across parking on the way. My advice is to opt for a parking space anywhere and walk from there.
Once you're parked, you'll end up among the most desired neighborhoods in Tampa Bay, Old Hyde Park. Here you can find a number of lovely traditional bungalows upon tree lined roads. The center of Hyde Park Village is the park. You can find a large fountain, plenty of areas to lounge on the lawn or perhaps on a seat and, if you are out on a Wednesday evening over the summer, check out live bands.
There's a good variety of dining establishments here. You may want to arrive earlier to do a little shopping at one of several top end stores that are set on the road to begin with, then head for supper? Even if you don't have the spending budget for it, the stores still make great areas to do a little browsing whilst you stroll.
Just after dining, make the CineBistro the following stop. It's one of the more recent Tampa Florida attractions at just one year old and is also a brand new idea in the area movie world. As the name suggests, you don't just go to the films here! When you're indoors you'll promptly see the variance. There's a good looking bar and lounge seating where you can get ready for the movie-going experience with a mixed drink and appetizer, excellent service and a friendly setting. You're likely to get to know people given that the conversation starter is built in - everyone is there to see precisely the same film.
This movie theater is a 21 and up venue, and that means you won't be competing with boisterous young people to see the show. In the movie theater, you will actually be relaxing on very cozy, individual love seats, big enough for two. There's an entire dinner service available and very attentive wait staff. Simply place your order when you're sitting, then they'll give you your food and cocktails right before the show gets under way. If you do not need a full meal here, it's possible to have dinner to begin with in Hyde Park Village, then simply get a fabulous dessert and enjoy the show.
