Ybor City - Tampa

Steve’s take

Tampa's historic cigar district — brick streets, wrought iron balconies, and the kind of Latin-infused culture that makes you feel like you're somewhere much more exotic than central Florida. The Columbia Restaurant has been open since 1905 and the Cuban sandwich is a legitimate contender for best sandwich in America. If your road trip ends at Port Tampa Bay for a cruise, Ybor City is your last night on land. Make it count.
