Hola YouTube! My name is Marcelo and this is 4 Season's Adventures
Today we are celebrating with family the birthday of my dear niece Silvana
So what a better place to spend the day that over here, in what is called... Ybor City
This is a beautiful place in the Tampa neighborhood area and we're gonna visit it together. Stay with us!
Oye Chico! We are in Ybor City
A historic neighborhood just northeast of downtown Tampa Florida
Ybor City was named after the cigar manufacturer Vicente Martinez Ybor
Alright! Here we are in Ybor City. Ybor City used to be...
Ahh... a tobacco factory place?
cigars
cigars place ... and... what happened? How did it turn into this?
Tamps's first area to develop was Ybor City
More than 100 years ago, it was like the first area to develop
Cubans came to the area to found the city and they work with cigars, producing cigars
So all of this that you see around here now, the restaurants and markets and nightclubs, used to be cigars factories
Oh Wow!
So that's what they used to work on, and little by little started becoming a touristic place
And well today's Ybor City is more than 10 blocks that they close after 10 pm
There is action all day! And all night brunches, and then after 10 pm they close the roads
And they have a areas for nightclubs restaurants i mean it gets a little bit crazier after 10 30.
So that's the mini story
All right! it's a beautiful place and we're gonna check it out
Yeah, the buildings and the streets are pure history
Even a parking lot is a nice place to take a picture
Oh! ice cream! let's go in
oh my god check that out
They are not cheap, but they are delicious
The ice cream it was delicious, there is only one problem with it
it's gone
the girls love it too, but they can't stop texting
So I decided to stop that, sit down with them and talk
But at first it wasn't easy
They were a little shy of the camera, but that's okay, we all get nervous in front of the camera
let's try it again
Alright, how was the ice cream? Really good! Alright!
Are you having a good birthday? Yeah... We're having fun
This is the second time the three of us have been in Ybor City together
Oh that's nice!
Yeah, it was fun last time we came here as well. It was really good! Awesome!
But they didn't have the flavor that I wanted, so i got a new one
Alright, so we're gonna finish eating and we're gonna continue to explore Ybor City
Yeah walking here is like walking in Bourbon street in New Orleans
In fact, they call Ybor City the New Orleans of Florida
But there is no doubt that Ybor city it has its own personality
The cuban culture and the cigar industry it has a lot to say in it
There are many places and tons of cigars to choose from
Oh! And don't forget the Cuban coffee
And the night starts to fall over Ybor City, but there is one more place that I want to see
At least from the outside
Very nice! But it's getting late and Ybor City is mutating into something else
Yeah! I think it's time to say bye bye
Alright, it's getting dark and all the bars and clubs are opening up...
And we got minors here...
So it's time to call it a wrap. I hope you like it and you give it a thumbs up
