I attended Your Tampa Market Pop-up at the Sheraton Riverwalk on 12/12/2020 and 12/19/2020. They…read morehad a lot of great vendors at this Market. I was impressed by how well-organized the market was. There were so many great vendors! Everyone wore face masks. There was hand sanitizer at the booths that I went to. There were vendors on the outside around the pool and bar area and also on the inside in one of the banquet rooms. What better way to shop then with beautiful views of the Hillsborough River and last night was the boat parade which was an added bonus! During this time, it's important now more than ever to support our local businesses who have struggled the most! So, let's get to my shopping! Angie's Fairy Cakes and Parties had some really good prices on bundt cake for $6, Triple Chocolate Chip for $5 and Hot Cocoa Bombs for $10. I sampled some items and everything was so delicious! I ended up buying the bundt cake mmmmm... :-) Chanel's Boutique had a lot of unique items. They had so many different kinds of masks and they were good quality, too! They even had vintage purses and a red 1950s suitcase for sale. There was a really cute 1920s Art Nouveau, leather purse that was going for $200. I looked it up on the internet and a similar one was $225 + shipping. Jennifer Ann's Boutique had a lot of fun holiday, crossbody bags, Christmas ornaments for $8, and face masks for$6. The display was really cute and the prices were not bad at all. I bought some fresh sea moss from BAXXABILLION. It was made that morning. An 8 oz jar is $10 and a 16oz Jar is $20. There were also BAXXABILLION sweatshirts that look pretty high quality. And the owner, Terrence Baxter, told his personal story on how sea moss and also other natural alternatives helped to heal him after he was shot while driving an UBER! He talked about how natural alternatives changed his life, his health, and the health of his family. He's very knowledgeable on natural products. I bought some wine from Brookstone Wine. The wines are locally crafted in Spring Hill, Fl. I got to taste all of them including their delicious Tropical Sunset, Green Apple Harvest, but it came down to the Cranberry Celebration and the Blackberry Blossom. I ended up getting the Cranberries Celebrations but it was a really tough call! They're $20 a bottle. A little pricey but got to support local. I also bought a couple of hand rolled cigars from Smokey's Lifestyle Cigars. The bourbon infused cigars smelled AMAZING. I bought a pack of the Rum infused ones. I think they were 5 for $20. Thr prices were pretty good. There were so many great vendors including Ilianna's Boutique with such great stuff for 20-somethings, Lavish Lab Cosmetics with the most luscious glosses, and on and on. I wanted to buy from all of them but I just didn't have enough money! I put some of their cards in my review if you wanted to check them out. Happy Holidays Yelp fam :-)

We went to Tampa for a concert and it got out late so I went on TikTok to see what spots Tampa had…read morethat were open late night and came across a video praising this food truck for great late night food. So we stopped by. They are parked in front of a strip club so I knew the food would be a hit . The menu is very straight forward. I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be and I didn't want to order and waste food so I ordered the appetizer cracking orange chicken. My friends ordered the egg rolls , potstickers & bang bang shrimp & we shared across all of us. Everything was delicious. If I had a bigger appetite I would have ordered the hibachi and I would definitely order the bang bang shrimp again , I would even order the bang bang chicken too. If you're looking for some good late night food check out this food truck. It was great customer service & it didn't take very long for the orders to be made. The ambiance is outside of a club so it felt safe and busy.

Completely disgusting and over priced and I was over charged if the orange chicken appetizer is $12…read moreand the steak hibachi which isn't real steak is $18 and 2 drinks is $4 how is my bill $45 it should be $34 + tax. Anyways the food was so bad I ended up giving it to a homeless man. If you order steak they gonna give you the steak used to make Philly cheese steaks. I think they're used to getting a lot of drunk people who eat anything but that food is nasty asf!

The bang bang chicken at Shiso Crispy didn't just steal my attention. It robbed me, took my wallet,…read moreand I'd gladly help it escape. First off, the crunch is so loud it could qualify as a sound effect in an action movie. I took one bite and half expected someone to yell "CUT!" The chicken itself is juicy, but let's be honest it's really just a vehicle for that bang bang sauce, which tastes like sweet, spicy, and "text your ex you've changed" all rolled into one. I told myself I'd share. That was a lie. A bold faced, shameless lie. The plate hit the table and suddenly I turned into a territorial raccoon guarding its last meal. By the end, my fingers were sticky, my dignity was gone, and I was seriously considering ordering a second round like I hadn't just embarrassed myself in public.

We were downtown and wanted a quick bite, so we looked around and found Shiso Crispy Food Truck. We…read moreended up getting Bang Bang Chicken Bao and Gyoza.

I went to Indie Flea for the first time this past weekend because I wanted to check out the new…read moreArmature Works. Parking was a disaster; between the outdoor church services in the nearby park, and all the exercisers, I was just driving down the street to leave when somebody pulled out and I got their spot. After walking around to the back of the building, there were four vendors set up. I thought - is this all there is? - and then finally I noticed people were using a different back entrance to gain access to the actual flea market. Directional signs would be a major plus next time! Inside there was an excellent selection of vendors, piled far and wide into narrow rows. I would have loved to have spent more time perusing, but it got so crowded so quickly, it was impossible. One trip through and I was done. If you don't like crowds, this is NOT the event for you. One final thought - please, for the love of all that is holy, leave your strollers and your pets at home. Carry your babies, or don't bring them, but there was certainly not enough room for the overwhelming number of carriages and the mass of humanity that filled this tiny space.

The holiday Flea Market of December 2015 was pretty packed with a great turnout. I enjoyed the…read moreopportunity to visit the historic Rialto Theatre and the chances to see inside it. I also liked historic neighboring buildings that are starting to get repurposed as the area starts to blossom. Next door is a custom woodwork and furniture shop. They also do laser engraving and stencils. Woodshop classes. Hidden Springs Ale Works is next door on the other side. It is a newish brewery spot and tasting room in a warehouse space. The Heights YMCA, Carnegie library building, Waterworks Park and Ulele Restaurant, Cafe Hey, Oceanic Oriental Market, and Cafe Hey are also nearby. The indie vendors are the main attraction at the Indie Flea. Several crafters of leather goods, belts, purses, bags, a lovely smock and bag maker, Dark Cycle and other local t-shirt and clothing design companies, some cake and donut vendors, a few food trucks, candles, soaps, wreaths and succulents, cards, vintage items and such as well as good people watching. Disney Springs / Downtown Disney this ain't. These hipsters are fashionistas!!! I wore my best Americsn Apparel vintage tee. This is a great project by community minded peeps. Buy local. Love local. Live local. And fight Mayor Buckhorn's TBX highway expansion that will decimate, destroy and divide these historic neighborhoods once again in favor of suburban commuters and Buckhorn's big business construction buddies.

Had their tacos al pastor, chorizo, and bistec (steak), very delicious with cilantro, onions, and the flour tortillas are very fresh not soggy. The sauces are very creamy (traditional mexican) with punching spices to the palette! I highly recommend this place: fast service, natural, and very reasonable prices! I had 4 tacos for only $6.50, what a great deal!! Watch out Taco Bus, I have to say their tacos are a notch up in flavor compared to the more popular Taco Bus here in Tampa & St Pete! They open around 11:30am and go till around 6pm or so. Outside seating available also under a canopy tent! They can be found next to the West Side Auto Parts Store at 2522 W. Tampa Bay Ave. across from the shopping center where Sweet Bay is. Arriba!!

I got the chance to try Papo's Lunch Box when their food truck made a dinner stop at the Visconti…read moreapartments. The food truck serves breakfast and lunch daily and is available to cater special events. The menu consisted of hamburgers and Latin dishes such as yucca fries, empanadas, cuban sandwiches and tacos. They also have a cute girl selling hot dogs in a separate stand outside their truck For about $12 I got a chicken quesadilla, cuban sandwich with fries, and a can of coke - not bad prices! The chicken quesadilla was tasty and filled with tons of ooey gooey cheese, but I wish I had asked for an extra side of sour cream. The cuban sandwich was average, good bread and lots of melty cheese... not the best Cuban I have had, but it was good. The one item on the menu I was not impressed with was the french fries. They were on the limp side so I had to toss them in the oven to crisp them up. I guess they were in a hurry to cook the fries and took them out a little too early? I'd be curious to try the empanadas on my next visit.
