Tampa Heights Haus Guide Book
Sightseeing
One of the main attractions in Tampa. In the cooler months, go early to the bridge by Ulele and Armature works for a manatee sighting. Although it is in an urban setting, you can see also other wildlife such as dolphins, rays, otters, wading birds, pelicans, ospreys, cormorants, Anhingas and even the occasional bald eagle!! It starts at Armature Works (only 0.3 miles away) and runs 2.5 miles along the river and the bay all the way to Amelie Arena where the Lightning play. There's no better way of getting to a hockey game than to bike to it!!! You can walk or rent bikes/scooters.

Nice private University in the heart of Tampa. The main building 'Plant Hall' was formerly a the 'Tampa Bay Hotel' built by Robert Plant. Plant Park at the river boasts some of the nicest views of downtown. Lindsey and Ingo went both at UT and met there just a few years ago (-:

Food scene
A great place to grab a bite to eat then walk it off at the riverwalk. It has over 15 places to eat and drink - from the casual food hall concept to high end dining such at Steelback (great steaks and veggie sides), Oak & Ola (more European inspired fare) to the swanky roof top bar MBird (great for drinks).

The fried okra appetizer is a unique take on okra. Try the Florida Pampano for dinner! Go for the coconut ice cream for dessert.
Kids can get a token from the hostess to get fish food to feed the turtles, fish and, ducks in Ulele spring. Ulele Spring has an output of around 500,000 gallons/day and was Tampa's first source of drinking water. You can see different turtles (Florida softshell, alligator snapping turtle, sliders), fish, and even otters and (small) gators sometimes.
Try the beer! Brewed on site by our friend Tim Shackton!! Wedding beer is my favorite.

Grab a number when you walk in and check out all the baked goods. We love the almond crescents, guava and cheese tarts and of course the Cuban bread.
This is a to go only place. No where to sit and eat inside.

Looking for a fun fancy date night? This place is OLD SCHOOL with gaudy decor - US presidents dine here when visiting Tampa and the waiters have all been working there for 10+ years. They have the largest private wine collection in the US! Tell them it’s your first time and go on the tour. And don’t skip the trip up to the dessert room it’s my favorite part. Get the macadamia nut ice cream!!
