deviled crab and the tampa cuban sandwich, miami’s cuban sandwich is different

As a lifelong resident of Tampa the video is spot on. Concerning " Cuban Sandwiches " Cubano ??? since the silver ring closed in Ybor city many years ago its really hard to find a great Cuban sandwich. One that I really like is from La Segunda bakery on 15th street, they make the BEST original Cuban bread for their cuban sanwiches which are "pressed". The bakery makes tons of sandwiches and pastries and is wonderful. There are so many reasons to live in Tampa and these are but a few ! Can we say Gasparilla invasion every year …. Love it here !!!

EXCELLENT video. Only other advice is to be SUPER careful if you do go clubbing in Ybor. In addition to the normal dangers of clubbing (sexual assault, skipped drinks, bar fights etc.) It's blocks away from some really dangerous neighborhoods. Park as close as possible (or ideally avoid driving at all) and get out of there by 3am. Between that and the traffic I'd say honestly, just be on defense mode at all times when you're not in a theme park, museum or hotel room lol.

Dont forget to visit University of Tampa, you can sit under cool trees and on the porch of the main area that used to be a hotel.

This is actually a pretty solid list. I'd add "Don't forget to do the Stingray Shuffle" at the beach. It's not sharks you need to worry about, it's stingrays. And regarding hurricane season; Tampa rarely gets hit directly, but each summer does bring some drama and there will be the occasion where we are in the Cone of Uncertainty, which causes everybody to run out and buy up all the supplies and even evacuate the beach communities just as a precaution. The peak month is September, but October can be busy too for the gulf coast. Also, it WILL rain every day for about 30 minutes in the late afternoon during the summer. Usually with lots of lightning, so be prepared to deal with that.

I visited Tampa in 2016 and was impressed! It’s my favorite place in the country. I never thought I’d like it, but I fell in love quick. I traveled all over the area and it was breathtaking. Tampa is my new home soon. The people were friendly throughout the whole area, driving wasn’t bad for me coming from the northeast, and the scenery is just amazing. Just beware, some of the worst crime areas are around Busch gardens so don’t let it get you down. You can have fun and be safe. I’m in law enforcement so I pay attention.

One more thing to add to your list with the hurricanes. I've lived somewhere near or on the Gulf Coast for 55 of my 60 years. If the authorities tell you to evacuate please evacuate! Don't stay in the area. They tell you to evacuate for your own safety. Believe me they do not want the tourists to leave but if they ask you to they're doing it for your own good!

Hi Mark. I'm a Florida native from Tampa. Been here all my life. I love it. I enjoyed your video because it's so true. I hope you do one for DO in Tampa. But yest the traffic and drivers are terrible all over the state. I got a dash cam for myself and my husband and we make compilation videos of the insane things we encounter day to day. Currently working on June and July's eps. You might like them. I try to make them fun and funny.

Lived here for 35 years and love it. Yes, Cuban sandwiches vary and they are all good. In Ybor try the one they serve at Gaspars Grotto.

His description of drivers and traffic are mostly accurate. I have seen more people do things here in the past 7 years than I had ever seen in 36 years of driving in Ohio. Don’t be surprised if somebody makes a sudden left turn in front of traffic from the right turn lane. Or a right turn from the left turn lane. An accident can cause hours of delays. Law enforcement will close lanes to deal with it but they never ever direct traffic. When lanes are closed it’s a free for all with drivers trying to merge and other drivers trying to prevent it.
