The Crowbar

I am going to take Gerri Gerri up on her offer while we wait for our disaster loan info. Our Crowbar shirts are $20. Anyone who pre-orders a shirt will get one two weeks after we are permitted to open. This will be a special shirt design and we will book a show around it and it will be a celebration of humanity, and peoples courage and sacrifice during this difficult time.

I will use the proceeds from the shirt to make sure our crew is comfortable during this time. I know everyone is struggling so please only purchase if you feel you can. Please make sure you uncheck the box for goods and services. We Will Get Through This.

✊️❤️🐓

BREAKING NEWS

Tito’s

Hungry in Ybor City???

We think that one of the reasons the grocery stores are so empty is… We all love to eat out and just don’t have that much food at home. Small area restaurants are closed or are doing Take Out Only. Help by ordering out if you can. Here are some tasty suggestions for you.

New York New York Pizza

The owners are the Grand Marshalls ( Freddie & Bardha) in this years Tampa Pride 2020. Not only is the pizza the BEST but the owners are the Best Too. Order online https://nynypizzeria.com/    Located on 7th Ave next to Bradley’s on 7th.    Yes!!!  They deliver. (813) 248-1845

China 1

Under New Owners. Everything we have had here has been great!!! Our favorite is the Chicken Teriyaki on a stick. This could be dinner all by its self. The portions are huge too. The House Chicken Egg Foo Young is the best we have ever had.  They now deliver and you can order online at www.china1tampa.com 813 226-0203 Located on Henderson & 7th Ave

Here are our 2 favorite Asian leftovers tip.

  1. When you order also order 1 large chicken broth only soup. Then the next day put this soup in the pan with all the left overs. Instant FAB Soup.
  2. The next day in a med size frying pan start to heat the leftovers up. Wisk 4 to 6 eggs and pour over the leftovers in the pan. Cook until the bottom starts to set up. Then put the pan in the over under the broiler and cook until golden. Puff instant Fretata. YAAA

La Segunda Bakery

We all know about La Segunda’s Cuban Bread!!! Did you know they also make one of the best Cuban Sandwiches. They are so huge that we get one and share it all the time. While you’re there you can also pick up deserts for your sweet tooth!  Order online in advance and the line will be much shorter.

El Paraiso Café

A hidden Jewel of Ybor City. Manny Alvarez took us here the first time and are glad he did. We eat here at least once a week and sometimes more. There is nothing fancy here but the food is really GREAT!!! Click here to see what we are talking about. They are open for breakfast and lunch only!  It is mostly takeout only.  They speak very little English. That’s OK if you smile & point, they will treat you fine. The meals are huge and make great left overs. Located at 4112 E 7th Ave, Ybor City. 

Located Next doors is Smelt Feed & Pet Supplies  https://smeltfeed.com/  This is an Ybor City must do visit. We like everything about this place. It’s very clean and the staff are helpful. This is where we purchase all our outside bird seeds. Many of our friends also visit here.
