Ybor City
A richly personable neighborhood of Tampa, Ybor City retains the Cuban, Italian and Spanish influences that remain from its heyday as the hub of Tampa's cigar industry, now reflected in its culture and cuisine. Ybor City is a place where brick-paved streets and wrought iron balconies frame historic buildings that reflect another place in time. Every visit to Ybor City (pronounced EE-bore) almost requires a stop at the Ybor City Museum State Park and a meal at the historic Columbia Restaurant or any number of other wonderful restaurants that spice the area. Whether strolling down historic 7th Avenue, sipping a café con leche at a sidewalk café or staying late for the entertainment and nightclub scene, Ybor City offers visitors a connection to the past.
