〰️ DRIFTLIGHT 〰️

Tucked inside the Driftlight is a chic treat off the lobby bar. 👌🏽✨

The space is open and the decor is light and airy with bold accent color. So tastefully done — but would expect nothing less from the JW.

Their gin gimlets were 🤌🏽 (always a Jenn fav) and I 110% recommend the *pink bread* 1) bc it’s pink 2) bc it’s delicious. 🤭😜

〰️ LITTLE LEON 〰️

Welcome to my newest obsession 👉🏽 the place where all of my salad dreams come true. 😍

Little Leon is set up as a “build your own bowl” type of joint (which I love and appreciate) except the concept of their bowls vs many of the others I’ve tried is *cleaner*. I love that the base of their bowls can be a variety of greens vs just heavier based bowls with noodles / rice / sweet potatoes (although they offer those too)!

My FAV bowl is “The Talented Mr. Romaine” which is version of a Greek salad and it’s heaven in a bowl. 🤤 My kids love their coconut rice + broccoli + citrus chicken so if you’re trying to convince your kids to eat something healthy — you win here. 😅

Last but not least, I love the name and murals. Branding is so key for me to even *enter* an establishment (I know, I know) and Little Leon nailed it.

Convinced you yet? Go try it! 👉🏽

〰️ ROX ROOFTOP 〰️

I’m sure you already know I’m a big fan of rooftops, especially when that rooftop features a dreamy sunset over the water. 🌆🥰🌊

ROX is located on the top of the in Tampa’s Rocky Point which is a quick 20 minute drive from Downtown Tampa. ROX is the tallest rooftop bar in Tampa boasting views of both Tampa, St. Pete and Clearwater.

No reservations were needed (we visited on a Thursday evening) and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside the bar.

The drink menu offers a ton of options (including a Gummy Bear cocktail that yes, gives actual gummy bears. 😁) The only shortcoming I would say for the location would be the very small food menu. We did order a charcuterie board (which was wonderful) but I would suggest to pop in after dinner!

The views though… Reason enough alone to add ROX to the top of your *must visit* list. 🥂🍾🌆
