The oldest neighborhood in Tampa, Ybor City, has been known as the Cigar Capital of the World since 1900 due to a heavy Cuban influence. It’s home to America’s oldest family-owned premier cigar maker. Ybor City can also be credited with inventing the Cuban sandwich!

Tampa is also known for its passion for brewing, as Florida's first commercial brewery opened there in 1897. Now a leader in the US brewing community, the Tampa Bay region is home to 110 breweries.
