Discover Downtown Tampa

With Downtown Tampa just a short drive away, there is so much to discover right outside your door. With so many different restaurants, shops and live events, the downtown area has an exciting energy all its own.

The dining options are virtually endless, with everything from down-home comfort food to top-notch steakhouses. Some standouts include the handmade brick-oven pizza kitchen Pizzaiolo Bavaro, Malio’s Prime Steakhouse and the healthy eatery Bamboozle Cafe.  You’ll also find all kinds of great nightlife, from the hottest nightclubs and lounges to Irish pubs and outdoor patio bars.

 On February 6, 2010, the new Tampa Museum of Art will open in Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. The expansive and beautifully designed 66,000-square-foot center will house seven interior galleries, one exterior sculpture gallery and educational classrooms equipped with the latest technology. Here, you will be able to explore world-class traveling exhibitions and a growing collection of contemporary and classical art.

 Recently named a “Destination to Watch in 2010″ by USA Today, Tampa is a city that begs to be explored. To learn more about Downtown Tampa, visit TampasDowntown.com.
