We were in Tampa three days on business and wanted to learn more about the area. Wow! I never realized the area had such an interesting history. My husband and I enjoyed all the exhibits about the Cigar trade, the railroad expansion, and the Native Americans. Since we are now grandparents, we also made note that so much of the... More

I never would have walked over to the History Center to find a place to eat but there's a yummy cafe inside. Good food and nice prices. Very filling and tasty. Can eat inside or out.
