We have so many events and things to do in this city, and we are about to add another. The news was revealed recently about a new ship that will be seen traveling down the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. Saw this story on WFLA.com as well as social media. A new dining river cruise is coming to Tampa this fall for a one-of-a-kind experience down the river. It will be the coolest new date night in downtown Tampa.
It’s called Craft Tampa. It will be the largest boat on the river at 130 feet in length and will hold 150 passengers. It has less than 11 feet of air draft, so it will fit under all of the bridges along the river.
The wooden boat resembles a European river cruise ship. It will include an open kitchen concept with an old vintage boat as the bar. There will be indoor and outdoor dining options. The menu will be seasonal and guests will be able to watch the executive chef on board preparing the entire meal. The Craft is expected to generate 80 new job opportunities in Tampa.
Things To See And Do Along The Riverwalk
There is so much to see and do along the Hillsborough River. The Riverwalk is filled with bikers and people walking or jogging. There is also boat docking next to Armature Works, for boaters to enjoy an afternoon. Ulele is an amazing place to eat and hang with friends on the Riverwalk as well. Curtis Hixon Park and The Straz Center are located along the Riverwalk.
The best time to be on the river is at night when all of the lights are lit and the city shines off the water.

We all know going on a first date is never easy. Where do you go? What kind of food should you order? (Oysters for obvious reasons). Will they want to go on a second date?

You sent us tons of great options so we put together a list of 8 places to go on a first date in Tampa Bay.
Why Does Location Matter?
Location plays a big part in how the date goes. Frankly, it sets the tone for the entire relationship and pretty much decides if it lasts one night or a lifetime. If you don’t believe us, just ask Reuben Feffer after Polly came along and took him to a Moroccan restaurant. You want to pick a place that you know gives the right signals to the date, but also doesn’t land you chilling in the friend zone either because nobody’s got time for that.
Another key ingredient for a first date is atmosphere. You want to pick a place that won’t make that awkward silence, awkward. Pick a place that has some background music, live bands or anything to lighten the mood when you first walk in. A corner booth in a dive bar is a bold move for a first date, but that could get weird real quick.
If you’re stressing about planning the first date, just remember you can always ask how much a polar bear weighs because it will be enough to break the ice. Now that we’ve set the mood, here is a list of 8 places you should go on a first date in Tampa Bay with your help.
