my community had two main hubs in the state: Miami, my home city, and Tampa. While our Cuban influence in Miami is world-famous, our presence in Tampa has stayed relatively under-the-radar. Sure, the town was always an old-school kind of place to go for incredible sandwiches and cigars (often sold by fourth- or fifth-generation Cuban Americans). Its downtown was mainly a commercial hub; it wasn’t a place to live.<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_3-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/vRVY5yr1geK8EHeCEZJaAXmuVvg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-jotoro-tacos-wild-child-mai-tai-TAMPA1022-cf18b5c4fd4348b19d9e8f0447fd6626.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/bZoZPLocfh8ptEFlHRdQLcVsKcA=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-jotoro-tacos-wild-child-mai-tai-TAMPA1022-cf18b5c4fd4348b19d9e8f0447fd6626.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Two photos from Tampa, Florida, one showing tacos and chips at a Mexican restaurant, and one showing a mai tai cocktail" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/vRVY5yr1geK8EHeCEZJaAXmuVvg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-jotoro-tacos-wild-child-mai-tai-TAMPA1022-cf18b5c4fd4348b19d9e8f0447fd6626.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/vRVY5yr1geK8EHeCEZJaAXmuVvg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-jotoro-tacos-wild-child-mai-tai-TAMPA1022-cf18b5c4fd4348b19d9e8f0447fd6626.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/bZoZPLocfh8ptEFlHRdQLcVsKcA=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-jotoro-tacos-wild-child-mai-tai-TAMPA1022-cf18b5c4fd4348b19d9e8f0447fd6626.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Two photos from Tampa, Florida, one showing tacos and chips at a Mexican restaurant, and one showing a mai tai cocktail" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">From left: Dishes from the Mexican restaurant Jotoro; a mai tai at Wild Child, in St. Petersburg.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>James Jackman</p></span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_4-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> In the past several years, that’s changed.<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_5-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_6-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> It hit me all at once last year when I made the one-hour flight from Miami to spend a week in the city, which included a stay at the recently opened <a href="https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/tpajd-jw-marriott-tampa-water-street/overview/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="sponsored nofollow noskim">JW Marriott Tampa Water Street</a>.

Florida’s third-largest city (behind <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-things-to-do-in-jacksonville-florida-8419557" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">Jacksonville</a> and Miami) had been due for a revamp — and much of its redevelopment is thanks to former financier and Tampa local Jeff Vinik. He bought the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team in 2010, and began acquiring property surrounding Amalie Arena, its downtown stadium. The land consisted mostly of parking lots and the kinds of establishments you frequent when you have a hankering for frozen daiquiris or hot wings (Hooters, incidentally, was founded right here in the area). Partnering with a private investment firm, Vinik continued to buy more waterfront property. His vision, widely publicized, was to create a highly livable city for the future.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_14-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_15-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Based on my visit, I’d say Vinik succeeded, and downtown <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/guide-to-tampa-florida-8584024" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">Tampa today</a> feels like a walkable community where you can live, bike, run, ride a scooter, buy groceries, go to the gym, catch a hockey game, and have dinner in some of the best restaurants in Florida — all within less than a square mile. All of this has had a halo effect: other parts of the metropolitan area, including the Cuban-American-dominated neighborhood of Ybor City (just north of downtown), and even St. Petersburg (just across Tampa Bay), are also getting newfound attention.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_16-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_17-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Each morning of my stay at the JW Marriott, I ran the length of the Riverwalk — a 2.4-mile-long pathway that winds along the Hillsborough River — together with the neighborhood’s burgeoning population of young professionals and digital nomads getting in some exercise before starting the workday. The Riverwalk connects the two ends of downtown Tampa, with <a href="https://sparkmanwharf.com" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nocaes">Sparkman Wharf</a> at one end and <a href="https://www.armatureworks.com" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="2" rel="nocaes">Armature Works</a> at the other. Also developed by Vinik’s investment group, both are open-air complexes with food and drink as their focus. Between those two points, you’ll find the mix of cafés, restaurants, beer gardens, and, yes, Cuban sandwich shops that is the lifeblood of the city.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_18-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_19-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/GgTN4mOCjz3veHpT-x2K-LilQwU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-tampa-riverwalk-joggers-TAMPA1022-bdafb93283e34cc19c575e7232e278c4.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/MqZEIdl-thPNzsBm7UMNz8-CfRg=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-tampa-riverwalk-joggers-TAMPA1022-bdafb93283e34cc19c575e7232e278c4.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="A man and woman jogging on the Riverwalk in Tampa, Florida" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/GgTN4mOCjz3veHpT-x2K-LilQwU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-tampa-riverwalk-joggers-TAMPA1022-bdafb93283e34cc19c575e7232e278c4.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_3-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/GgTN4mOCjz3veHpT-x2K-LilQwU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-tampa-riverwalk-joggers-TAMPA1022-bdafb93283e34cc19c575e7232e278c4.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/MqZEIdl-thPNzsBm7UMNz8-CfRg=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-tampa-riverwalk-joggers-TAMPA1022-bdafb93283e34cc19c575e7232e278c4.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="A man and woman jogging on the Riverwalk in Tampa, Florida" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_3-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">Joggers on Tampa’s Riverwalk.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>James Jackman</p></span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_20-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> My food tour included Mexican-style grilled corn on the cob with perfect flavor mix of lime, chiles, and cheese at <a href="https://www.jotoro.com" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow nocaes">Jotoro</a>, in Sparkman Wharf.

Reservations are usually required, but I went late at night without one and headed up to the special dessert room upstairs, which feels like a speakeasy for sweets. I ordered the macadamia ice cream and a Bern’s Cappuccino, which is brewed from coffee marinated in liqueur.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_25-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_26-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> While the lion's share of development is happening downtown, Ybor City — a 15-minute hop north on a streetcar — is the heart of the city’s Cuban-American community. To fully understand the fabric of Tampa, it’s essential to spend some time here. Ybor City, now part of the city of Tampa, was founded in 1886 by Vicente Martinez Ybor, Ignacio Haya, and other entrepreneurs who wanted to make and sell cigars. With this newly arrived industry came immigrants from Cuba, Spain, and Italy looking for work. Keeping the cigar rollers fed, caffeinated, and well informed called for a city of coffee brewers, newspaper and book sellers, and Italian bakers. Think turn-of-the-20th-century boomtown, with clapboard houses, churches, schools — and, of course, restaurants, which popped up around the factories.

It’s owned by the Gonzmart family, who have run the place since it opened in 1905. If Vinik is the new name heard around town, Gonzmart was the original. If you’re Cuban, the arroz con pollo and <em>ropa vieja</em> is the kind of cuisine you might find in your grandmother’s kitchen.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_30-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_31-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> At Seventh Avenue’s western end is another newcomer, the <a href="https://hotelhaya.com" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nocaes">Hotel Haya</a>, which opened two years ago and is named after Ignacio Haya, the cigar maker.

The hotel’s restaurant, Flor Fina, serves a simple side of black beans that was one of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve had in ages. It took me back to my family’s Miami kitchen, where my grandmother would hum Spanish lullabies, and I could catch the scent of laurel leaves drifting in the window. There are fancier, more beautiful dishes on the menu, but for me, this one represents ultimate comfort.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_32-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_33-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Off Seventh Avenue, there are yet more treasures to be found. My favorite is the tiny José Martí Park, a plot of land that pays tribute to Cuba’s patriot poet, who died fighting for the country’s independence. It’s also a piece of Cuba in Tampa — literally. It was donated to the people of Cuba in 1956, three years before the revolution, and remains the only U.S. property owned by the country aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C. Whenever I step on Cuban soil while remaining in my home state, my heart flutters.<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_34-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_35-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/W9RrzLcud9pWHlT1l4Id4IJPvB8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-haya-cocktail-and-lobby-TAMPA1022-8ce518a393a6476b823390fdc401859c.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/HmDAMRDPBK6Af-PgxKheKMJRQE4=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-haya-cocktail-and-lobby-TAMPA1022-8ce518a393a6476b823390fdc401859c.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Two photos from Hotel Haya in Tampa, including a cocktail served in a peacock, and the lobby of the hotel" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/W9RrzLcud9pWHlT1l4Id4IJPvB8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-haya-cocktail-and-lobby-TAMPA1022-8ce518a393a6476b823390fdc401859c.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_5-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/W9RrzLcud9pWHlT1l4Id4IJPvB8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-haya-cocktail-and-lobby-TAMPA1022-8ce518a393a6476b823390fdc401859c.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/HmDAMRDPBK6Af-PgxKheKMJRQE4=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-haya-cocktail-and-lobby-TAMPA1022-8ce518a393a6476b823390fdc401859c.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Two photos from Hotel Haya in Tampa, including a cocktail served in a peacock, and the lobby of the hotel" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_5-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">From left: A poolside Painkiller cocktail at Hotel Haya; a sitting area in the hotel's lobby.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>James Jackman</p></span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_36-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> When locals talk about Tampa, they’re talking about the entire area around Tampa Bay, and this includes the city’s artsy neighbor, St. Petersburg.<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_37-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_38-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> St. Pete used to be known as a sleepy home for retirees, but new development is infusing the town with youthful energy.

Opened in 1982, the institution debuted a new building in 2011 designed by architect Yann Weymouth. It’s a surreal mix of concrete and glass, topped with a dome known as the Enigma, which is made up of 1,062 panes of glass. With more than 2,000 of Salvador Dalí’s works, it’s the largest collection outside his native Spain.<br> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_41-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_42-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The programming here is consistently thought-provoking, and the current exhibition, “Paul Éluard: Poetry, Politics, Love” (running through January 8, 2023) delves into the life of the French poet — another leading figure of the surrealist movement of the 1920s.
