OT: I'm visiting Tampa for the first time

I remember seeing a lot of u guys from FL here. Was hoping to get some pointers. I'm on a business trip, so I'll be traveling alone. I really only have Monday afternoon and the rest of the night to hang out before I have to head out to Atlanta. Is there anything for a single asian guy to do in Tampa for the night?

LOL, I'm not sure what you're thinking. If it's the asian part or the single part. when I said single, I meant that I'll be alone.

So what are you looking for . . . club scene, strip joints, restaurant recommendations? What part of town are you staying in?

Well my gf and I will be in Orlando area on Friday and Sat. I hear there are good seafood buffet there, giant lobster the size of your arm. Any recommendation on that? When I travel I love to try new food and restaurants.

Something nice and mellow for a couple to do on Sat. night in orlando would be nice.



We'll be driving to Tampa from there and spend Sunday there. Still haven't figured out what to do yet.

I hear there's a nice aquarium at one of the area I'll be at. I think I'll hit that up.


Night life on monday is probably going to boring there anyways. Maybe a little coffee shop or so and chill out while I work.

I have not decide on where to stay in Tampa yet, though I'd like to be close to TPA but I'm required to be in Largo on Monday and flying out @ 10am on Tuesday.

How are the traffice around FL anyways? Since Monday morning, I hvae to take my gf to the airport so she can go back home @ 6:30am. if it's anything like California on Monday, I'll have to leave extra early.

Where would you recommend for me to stay that's convenience to the airport, easy drive to Largo and still have a decent hang out spot on Sunday with my gf. Though i don't mind taking a 30-40 minute drive tot he right hang out spot.

So I guess I need 2 recommendation as far as what to do. For Sunday some place cool to hang out with my gf and Monday night something to do by myself after work.
