Tampa's historic Latin Quarter, wide awake after dark
Ybor City is Tampa's historic Latin quarter, built by Cuban, Spanish, and Italian cigar makers in the 1880s. Today its brick streets and wrought-iron balconies hold Cuban sandwich counters, cigar lounges, ghost tours, and a 7th Avenue nightlife strip that runs late — the most characterful square mile in the bay.
