Needs advice on Tampa

If you're looking to remain close by and on foot, right there where the cruises board, there's a restaurant/movie complex that has a bowling alley with upscale food called Splitsville. Yes they've got pizzas, but also pulled pork sliders, spicy tuna rolls, etc. It's a cool place to hang out and get casual food, with sporting events on the TVs. There are also a couple of other restaurants there too, a tapas place, Hooters, a Daiquiri bar and a mediocre Thai place.

Other than that, you're going to be taking a taxi. I recommended Samurai Blue in Ybor City in a thread here yesterday, but that's a cab ride.

Mons Venus... Oh wait you meant food.

Nevermind

Take the trolley that runs right in front of the cruise terminal to Ybor City area. Interesting bars and restaurants. Blue Iguana?
