What to do in Ybor City?

[Ralph]

We have a family wedding in the Tampa area next weekend and Ybor City is about 40 mins from our hotel. We plan on going Saturday morning because they have a huge outdoor market every Saturday, but Sunday is an option as well. I really want to hit the JC Newman factory and the Tabanero factory. Looking for some don’t miss things to do and they need not be cigar related.

Lunch or dinner at the Columbia Restaurant for sure. My two go-to places to pickup cigars are La Faraona Cigar Factory & Long Ash Cigars. Tampa Sweethearts (Fuente) is one street over from the Ybor main drag, but IIRC it’s not open on the weekends. Grand Cathedral Cigars is about a 5 minute drive from Ybor. It’s a really cool place, and yes, it was originally a church!
