makes people want to visit

A city guide to Tampa Bay rather than a food account — the dessert room at Bern's, waterfront seafood, a new coffee shop, the 1912 bakery, a gift shop worth the drive up Dale Mabry, plus a round-up of what is on each month. Go to her to plan a weekend, not just a meal. Every place @influencetampa has featured that Wayfind lists is below, organised by city — with the original Instagram video and a way straight into the place for hours, directions and what's worth pairing it with nearby.
