The Edge District Who else but The Edge would make the audacious claim that they’re “Florida’s Best Neighborhood”? Well, they might not be far off the mark. Located in Downtown St. Pete, east to west between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street and 16th Street, and north to south between 1st Avenues North and South, the Edge entices a stroll outdoors via some of the most walkable sidewalks, where you’ll find a contingent of the best restaurants in the Tampa Bay dining scene. Say “Mamma Mia!” to the coal oven maestros at Bavaro’s Pizza and open wide for the gourmet burgers at the elevated sports bar fave Engine No. 9 . Warehouse Arts District 300 and counting: That’s the number of artists who have taken over a once-industrial section of downtown St. Pete. The Warehouse Arts District features artists in all media and at all stages of their careers. Its artists join other downtown arts districts every second Saturday of the month for the monthly Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 9 p.m. New to the neighborhood, Fairgrounds St. Pete takes you through an immersive world with 60-plus narrative installations that celebrate weird, wacky and wonderful Florida. Grand Central District Creative and colorful, St. Pete’s Grand Central District picks up where downtown used to end between 16th and 31st streets along Central Avenue, 1st Avenue S, and 1st Avenue N. Home to colorful, shady streets dotted with stylish shops, beaucoup eateries and a flourishing LGBTQ business community. Two establish-ments immerse you in furry love: The Dog Bar and Sunshine Kitty Catfe . Artsy in every nook and cranny, the district features murals and the new Woodfield Fine Art Gallery , which displays some of the highest-profile art in the region. Speaking of haute date nights, The Crane and Taverna Costale contribute Grand Central’s already impressive dining roster with authentic, worldly cuisine. VISITSTPETECLEARWATER.COM 39
