Eat like a Local
There are so many great restaurants in Ybor City. If you know the specials it’s often cheaper and easier to eat out. One of our favorite lunch spots is “Tony’s Ybor Restaurant”, located at 2001 22nd ST, Ybor City. First pick your meat and then 2 homemade sides with bread. It’s just plain good food!
The who’s who of Tampa can often be spotted here for lunch. This week there was an elderly guy sitting in the booth directly behind us. I heard him say, “He is such a lucky guy now that his wife is dead. Now he can drink beer for breakfast!” LMAO http://www.tonysyborrestaurant.com

You Just Can Not Make This Up
OK I am going to age myself just a little. I met and stared dating Carrie in 1978. It was a time before internet and cell phones. Many guys all carried a small black address book called “Little Black Book.” When you meet someone, you would write down NAME & phone number in this book. If not in this book we would write it down on the back of a matchbook. Many clubs would also give out business cards. These cards would say met at…. Etc. In these books we always wrote in pencil. So….. One day I came across Carrie’s Little Black Book. Hum…. There were guys with stars next to their names. That naughty Carrie was rating how much he liked these guys. I just pulled out a pencil eraser then erased all their stars!!! Then erased my name and re wrote it back in ink with 5 stars!!!! Must have worked 40+ years later I’M STILL 5 STARS!!!! Poor Carrie LMAO

The Bradly Bunch Connection to Ybor City
HGTV has been featuring “A Very Brady Renovation”. In this series HGTV have been renovation the house used for the outside photos. The inside is being renovated into what the set of the Bradys TV show actually looked like. https://www.hgtv.com/shows/a-very-brady-renovation There is an Ybor Cty Connection to the Brady Bunch. It is Mike Brady who was played by Robert Reed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Reed Robert had a favorite bar in Ybor City. “The TAMPA EAGLE” also known as The Eagle’s Nest, located at 2201 N 15th Street. This was a 1980’s hard core gay leather club. The only one harder than this I have ever been in was Mother’s in Miami. The Eagle was previously known as The Yellow House a notorious Ybor City MAFI BAR. http://tampahistorical.org/items/show/86 That helps explains why this club was so WILD. Our first time at THE TAMPA EAGLE was in 1980. On closed party nights patrons would walk up the fire escape on the build next to it. Then walk across the roof and onto the front balcony to enter the club. It was in the mid 1980’s that Robert Reed frequent the Eagle. People said that he was in town working on Summer theatre at Don Sherwood SHOW BOAT Dinner Theater. (The same Don Sherwood that owned Village inn Restaurant. After his death the family sold the Show Boat and it was torn down.) Robert Reed had many friends in Ybor City. In 1992 he passed away from colon cancer and was HIV positive.
The TAMPA EAGLE became Impulse. On the 1st floor was a restauran. November 16, 1988 there was a big fire. Today there is a shell of a building standing. Impulse moved downtown next to the flour plant. A couple years later Impulse was sold to THE TAMPA EAGLE. This was one of our all-time favorite clubs in Tampa. The owner with partners went on to open The SunCoast Resort in St. Petersburg. Here opened the SunCoast Eagle. Later there was a TAMPA EAGLE opened in Sulphur Springs by the Tampa Dog Track. We had a MC Pride Store in this location for a very short time. After it’s closing there was a TAMPA EAGLE opened on Franklyn Street in the former London Victory Club. Today Tampa Leather club is Cristoph’s located in the former 2606 Bar Location at 2606 N Armenia Ave.
