Biz Prof Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I'm conscripted to be part of site visiting team auditing a state college in the area just north of Tampa. This feckless shite will persist for the week. My questions are: 1. IF (a huge "IF") I have a few hours to kill on Friday, are there any must-see guitar shops? 2. I'll have at least a couple of nights on my own for dinner. Any recommendations (my hotel is the Residence Inn north of the city at the junction of Suncoast Pkwy and 54) for good restaurants within reasonable Uber distance? Thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjamiam Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I haven't been there myself, but Bern's is a nationally (at least) famous steakhouse. Reservation and take your big wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie G. Moseley Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Prolly more lunch-oriented instead nighttime but get a genuine Cuban sandwich. It even has to have the right kind of bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A plenty" is a term they use at the Beacon Drive In in Spartanburg, SC for their sandwich plates. If they have not trademarked "a plenty" they should have since they are known for it. I just bring this up so we can keep our southern restaurants straight as this thread goes off on all the different food places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thorn's just an hour away. I'm guessing some good "Cue" and a doobie or two could be in your future, if you really want to experience "Florida"... He's sneaky brilliant too. Don't kid yourself.

BadgerDave Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 For Cuban food and sightseeing, I'd go to Ybor City. It's been a while since I was there, but I have great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
