Hyde Park Village

The Hyde Park Village is well known for hosting events such as their holiday events, live music and art festivals. It is a nice little area tucked away in Hyde Park and they have a parking garage.

Pros: The outdoor shopping experience represents Tampa well.

Cons: There could be more restaurants and shops.

This upscale village is a perfect mix of shops and restaurants. It's very quaint and charming. You'll find several major retailers and a few local shops like Florist Fire that do a really good job of presentation and good quality goods.

Pros: You can eat outside at Timpano's and enjoy the sights!

Cons: Parking! There are a couple parking garages but if you're coming to an event, plan ahead. Limited street parking and restrictions on neighborhood parking.

Always a treat - I love the FLING events and the Fresh Markets on the last Sunday of every month! Oh, and the cronuts at Piquant!!!

Pros: Neighboorhood local with free parking

Cons: I still miss Jacobsen's :-( So sad they went out of business! I have great memories of times spent at HPV with my mom shopping and dining there :-)

Great little shopping/restaurant spot in Hyde Park. They host a ton of cool community events throughout the year like concerts and festivals that are usually free to attend.

Pros: Great location, nice variety of things to do, tons of community events.

Cons: Parking can be a little rough in Hyde Park
