Guidebook for Saint Petersburg
Foodie Scene per Brent :)
The are my recommendations based on my opinion as a career foodie.
It's the best restaurant in all of Tampa Bay. I don't say that just because I work there, I also work there because I can say that. :) I've been there the entire 13 years of it's existence along with a great team of professionals that have been there just as long as I have. We feature a full menu of steaks, pasta, seafood including fresh fish, Maine lobster, Alaskan crab, monster sea scallops, the best crab cake on the planet, unique salads and appetizers including our Proper Ranch beef carpaccio- another global best. We also feature a wine list unparalleled in these here parts, house-crafted cocktails, romantic ambiance and an unbelievably reasonable price tag to top it off. I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, each day at 5pm until 11pm, so please sit at the bar. :) Head south on 4th Street toward downtown, we're in the heart of Beach Drive)

It's a Thai-Mexican fusion joint. Very laid back, service is slow but generally friendly but if you have the time and good company then it's definitely worth the wait. If you like spicy food this is your place. They have "the world's hottest bowl of soup." Don't eat it. But if you do, you get $500!! :)

This Italian market has EVERYTHING! Just go there, it's ridiculous, you will spend money for sure! Everything you need for any kind of meal: produce room, meat counter, wine room, cheese room, delicatessen counter, pizzas, pastas, salads, casseroles, desserts, gelato, coffee, sit-down area, they close early, like 6pm. Across the street from the world's largest vinyl record store but don't park in their parking lot unless you go in there and buy a vinyl record. :)

Amazing museum featuring Salvador Dali, right next to the very cool airport, the Cafe Gala in the museum is also worth a visit. Also the restaurant inside the cool little airport is a fun place to sit and watch the planes take-off and land while having lunch, it's calle "The Hanger."

This is a beautiful park, the reason I'm featuring it is because it had an amazing disc golf course, not particularly for beginners though, lot's of foliage. The park also features boat launch, swimming, picnic area, bbq, playground (new and nice!), I always feel very safe at this park, I love disc golf.

1600 72nd St NA great disc golf park for beginners. 9 holes, easy to navigate, fun and easy. :)
This is a great disc golf park. I played it one time, it's very close to the world's largest disc golf store, "Clearwater disc golf store." It's a ways from my house, about a half hour. There are some challenging holes with some brush and water hazards. Also in the neighborhood are some of my other favorite spots: Costco, Guitar Center and a very authentic Mexican restaurant called, "Don Pancho Villa," featuring great food and a nice produce market and lotsa pinatas! :)

Located downtown St. Petersburg right next to The Museum of Fine Arts and directly across the street from Parkshore Grill! The park overlooks the Vinoy Yacht Basin and has huge banyon trees. At Christmas time the lights in the park are centerpieced by a giant Christmas tree, lit on black Friday each year. :)

Great place for a drink and a view, a don't-miss actually, but go before it gets dark, the view is not the same at night unless it's Christmas time. If it's dark and not Christmas time, go to Parkshore Grill instead, it's a half block away.
