Around Ybor City
Northern Ybor consists mostly of older homes that were built for the cigar workers of the past. The 7th Avenue Balconies are coveted for their views of parades during Guavaween. The apartments here have been converted by and for artists from old stores, businesses, and homes. Mixed in with the homes on 7th avenues are restaurant, shops, and bars. The more modern area is The Quarter at Ybor, which is still just steps from the entertainment and historical street fronts, yet offers more modern condos.
Ybor city is home to the nation's oldest Spanish restaurant, Columbia Restaurant, as well as many other Latin restaurants. Because the area is indeed a melting pot, nearly any cuisine can be found in Ybor City. There are hole-in-the-wall dives as well as top-rated culinary experiences and everything in between. Ybor serves as Tampa's go-to date area but it has many restaurants for all ages.
Because Ybor City is both historical and the city's entertainment hotspot, the sights in Ybor can vary depending on the time of day of the visit. However, a visitor or resident will always be impressed with the architecture and the diverse residents. You may see students from the HCC Ybor City Campus enjoying their lunch, you may see a constant parade of tourists enjoying the sights and night life, and you will likely see young families walking their pets when the heat of the day wears down.
Ybor city is busy on Friday nights, with dance clubs that range from hip hop to rock, to jazz, and cigar shops that turn into salsa clubs when the sun goes down. Centro Ybor 10 is a date night and family movie theater with reserved seating, a full bar, and amenities usually not found while attending a modern movie. Whether you are there for the history, or to let loose, the Ybor City nightlife cannot be beat.
A walking tour of the cigar industry is sure to please both history buffs and families alike. Ybor City Museum is a great way to learn about the area and enjoy some cool air on your walking tour. The art gallery at the community college and the Ybor Architecture Hop are also great options on Sundays.
