I want to start by saying that Tampa is a beautiful city. However, it is not my type of city because there wasn't that much to do during the day. I personally think there is nothing besides nightlife and that is not something I enjoy all the time. Therefore, I was not a big fan of Tampa. However, I did love Clearwater. So I guess I could say I love the cities that surround Tampa.
I couldn't go to Tampa and not go to Ybor City. Which I must say the environment was really nice. However, that goes back to their nightlife. I did try the Acropolis Greek Tavern which is in the middle of Ybor. I walked in there and I literally freaked out. It was so messy with napkins all over the floor. I literally looked down at the ground (with an ugly face), then looked back up and the waiter was standing right there. So I asked eww why is your restaurant so gross. So she explained to me that they have a mini show every day and they throw napkins everywhere for fun. So after that, I relaxed and actually decided to eat outside. The staff was awesome, the view was great and I was actually loving the fact that I could people watch. Oh and did I forget to say how amazing the food was? I am obsessed with Greek food! The Greek Salad was literally amazing. It was me trying to eat healthy while still getting the lamb as protein. YUM! Then I tried another dish which was basically a greek jambalaya (that is how the waiter explained it). But it was so exquisite!

I love Sunday Funday and I was looking forward to experience it in Tampa. But it was not a Funday, more like a regular Sunday. I went to Ybor city again, riverwalk and Jackson's Bistro on Harbour Island. Jackson's Bistro had a breathtaking view, the food was delicious but the service was horrible and the atmosphere was boring. I also went to Bad Monkey which the atmosphere was pretty cool and people were so nice. They do not serve food, but they did order pizzas for everyone there. It was super cool and something I've never seen before.
Enough about Tampa, let's talk about Clearwater. I need to take a vacay just to Clearwater, I loved it! It was beautiful and very relaxing. The rooftop of Jimmys Crows Nest had an amazing view, great drinks but their food menu is *blah*. I didn't eat there and I am glad I didn't. I mean who eats a bag of chips with a burger? I want fries! So I ended up going to Frenchy's Rockaway Grill. What an amazing restaurant! First of all, I do not know what alcoholic drink I had but it was frozen, it was super strong and had like 6 or 7 different liquors. I was in heaven! I tried the grilled grouper sandwich and the buffalo grouper sandwich. The grouper was great. I also noticed everyone waking around with ice creams and realized there was an ice cream store in every corner. Jackpot. I decided to try the cookie monster. It was cookies and cream with cookie dough, PERFECT COMBINATION. Clearwater just had everything I wanted. It had the beach, water sports, amazing views, great atmosphere and delicious food. I just loved it!
