Shopping

Who doesn’t love a good shopping day?! And this gem of a picturesque neighborhood in the Tampa Bay area offers just that. Take a leisurely stroll (with a coffee from one of the shops listed below!) and have a good time shopping- or even window shopping! 

• Yaya + Lou is the sweetest children’s boutique. 
• Salt Pines had great outdoor attire and accessories. 
• Alice + Olivia is such a fun store with beautiful patterns and vintage-style clothing and is just a fun store to browse all around. 
• Veronica Beard takes business casual to a new vibe- the perfect attire for a put together style. 
• Leafy Luv Affair had endless options for new plant friends and beautiful planters. 
• Little Words Project has a cute shop with a make-your-own bracelet table (reservations required), or you can choose from their pre-made designs. I wanted them all!
• You will also find many larger brand stores like Pottery Barn, Sur La Table, Kittenish and more. 

Stop For Coffee

Buddy Brew is an excellent choice for an iced coffee as you wander! 

The Salty has a fun vibe and tasty donuts to go with your delicious and uniqult crafted coffee. 

Spinkles ATM for a unique and fun experience while picking the perfect cupcake. 

Great Food

From snacks and juices to salads and authentic cuisine, there are options for any appetite.

Sesame Hyde Park is a bagel shop with a wide variety of options, available until the late hours of 12 or 1am…craving a bagel after a few hours of cocktails and dancing? Sesame has you covered! 

Bartaco offers a stylish and coastal vibe with great cocktails, an outdoor patio and of course- amazing tacos. I’m a big fan of the spiced chicken verde and the falafel. 

Forbici is a modern Itailian restaurant with years of experience in the art of the perfect pizza! 

Irish 31 is far more than an Irish pub, its an experience. With thoughtfully curated food dishes and a spin on classic cocktails, and a true “everybody knows your name” style vibe, this is a great experience while in Hyde Park. This is a great and inviting neighborhood gem! 

Meat Market brings a new style of steakhouse to the Tampa area. The upscale restaurant boasts high ceilings, ornate details, and a lively atmosphere for a group. 

On Swann is a contemporary American restaurant with a touch of local flavor. 

RO brings a unique twist on traditional Asian dishes with fish sourced directly from the Toyosu Market in Tokyo. They offer various events, like a Social Hour from 3 – 6 Monday through Friday and weekend brunch from 11 – 4 on Saturday and Sunday. 

As the Timpano website says, this restaurant offers “A Breath of Fresca Air”. As a Michilin recommended experience, you are sure to have a great time starting with a version of your favorite drink, an amazing meal and a vibrant atmosphere. 

Fun Desserts

I’m partial to Hyppo, because of their fresh ingredients and unique flavors. We have one in St Augustine and frequent it often! 

Oddfellows Ice Cream Co. is a fun and wacky ice cream parlor with over 500 flavors, but most are made in small batches. This is a great stop for a break! 

Clean Juice is not exactly a dessert but it might as well be because their fresh green juice is the ideal spot to get a pick-me up that isn’t coffee, is good for you and taste great. 

​Hyde Park Nightlife

Bouzy serves up an incredible experience with a wide variety of tapas, drinks and more. With a special events calendar to get anyone excited (check their site before you visit!) you may find a jazzy Thursday or a late-night DJ or live entertainment will a full dance floor on Saturdays. The Martini Hour is their version of a happy hour Monday – Friday 3-7. No matter the time of day you will find great craft cocktails and amazing meal options! 

​Jekyll will make you feel like you have stepped back in time. The extensive drink menu and unique vibes, this is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink. 

The Lounge by Meat Market is a sophisticated nightlife experience which require reservations to grab a spot. If you are able to visit, it will surely be an unforgettable evening. 

*Don’t forget your late night snack from Sesame! 

The Lobby Bar at Palihouse could go under food or nightlife but when I saw the vibe, it feels like it fits more into nightlife but in a relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot for hotel guests to grab a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap before heading to bed. But if you do want to stop for lunch or dinner, they have all day dining. I recommend trying the palicobb salad or the lobster tacos. They also have happy hour from 3-6 daily.
