Wonder what the Times’ interns have been up to? As our coverage pulls us across the region, we’ve been doing a lot of eating.
For 10 weeks, 10 interns in the Times newsroom have followed Google searches to nearby eateries that have become go-tos. We’ve discovered new favorites and perhaps even the best chocolate ice cream in Tampa Bay, at least according to politics intern Paige Stevens.
The abundant Florida food scene has undoubtedly pushed the limits of our summer budgets. But our visits to the never-ending coffee shops around St. Petersburg make it easy to justify another handcrafted drink from Black Crow or Blush Tea & Coffee as a workday expense. Right?
Check out the local favorites we will be missing and where we’ve managed to squeeze beachy eats into the budget. Our list is long, and our Tampa Bay bucket list just keeps growing. It’s safe to say we’re leaving with a much longer list of reasons to come back.
