South Tampa News and Events

A great independent local bookstore. If you would rather browse through a selection of books in a nicer atmosphere than the big box stores, this is the place. Check for author appearances and special events.

An Eclectic mix of vintage clothing, furnishing and collectibles.

An Italian market that’s been in Tampa for 50 years. Lots of specialty Italian grocery products. They also have meats and cheeses you won’t find anywhere else, salads, a deli, sandwiches, prepared food and a cafe. A big selection of wine, also. If you’re looking for something Italian, this is the place.

In business since 1932, Whaley’s has fresh produce, groceries, meat and seafood. Their deli has salads sandwiches, and soups.

The best “convenience” store around. They have one of the beer selections in South Tampa and some pretty good wine. And if you need some champagne vinegar, they probably have that, too.

Paint your own pottery. They host parties, too.
