“This is SPP’s original walking tour. It follows a figure eight loop through downtown between Central Avenue and 4th Avenue North.

Learn about the beginnings of St. Petersburg in the 1880s, the boom of the early 1920s, and the Mediterranean influence on our architecture. You will get to see some of the boom era hotels (including the Princess Martha, Pennsylvania and the Dennis), some of our stately churches (including First United Methodist, St Peter’s Cathedral, and First Baptist), and some of our architectural gems including the Snell Arcade, the Open Air Post Office, and the Veillard residence.

Learn about and see photos of some of our lost treasures, including the Soreno Hotel, the LaPlaza and Florida movie theaters. The tour typically stops inside one or two historic buildings.”

What a wonderful addition to Downtown St. Petersburg! Hands-down they have the BEST hummus in the area, as well as a great selection of wraps, salads and sides–mmmm…sweet potato fries! The staff is always pleasant and the service is always fast. Also, they have a fantastic selection of organic wines and juices to choose from. Bon Appetit!

I love this place. The health conscious menu is full of healthy options that are really delicious. Their raspberry vinegrette dressing is yummy.

It is great!
Very good fresh food. Hot entree specials and sandwiches. Healthier street than all the fried seafood places around that area. Vegan friendly.

Review: I’m not from the area, so I used this webpage to find a vegan restaurant nearby. My brother & I went…what a great find! The food was inexpensive and the portions were huge. I absolutely loved my hummus wrap…the hummus was delish! I also enjoyed the balsamic dressing that was made in-store. I can’t wait to go back!

Review: Wow, For less then $9 I got and amazing Roasted Veggie Wrap, it was half, and was plenty, a small salad with a delicious Mango Chardonnay dressing, a bowl of Sweet Potato/Tomato soup(they listed it as small, again it was plenty) and a wonderful oatmeal, coconut, chocolate cookie. I’m so full and so satisfied.
