If you couldn\u2019t tell, we love St. Pete. With 727 Day<\/a> right around the corner, the I Love the \u2018Burg staff wanted to highlight our favorite places and things about St. Pete, Florida. Dexter Fabian, co-founder of I Love the \u2018Burg, is first up spilling the tea on his personal favorites in St. Petersburg, Florida. <\/p>\n

Fun fact: Dexter and his partner Brian founded this site back in 2009 and the original office was situated in Historic Roser Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Morning fuel in St. Pete<\/p>\n

You just saw the most beautiful sunrise at Vinoy Park, and now it\u2019s time to fuel up. Where are you grabbing coffee or breakfast to start your day?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m visiting my favorite local coffee shop, Kahwa Coffee<\/a>. A cappuccino with a ham, egg, and cheese croissant is my go-to. <\/p>\n

Visit Kahwa in downtown St. Pete:<\/p>\n

So what are you doing after coffee?<\/p>\n

We get spoiled by the most stunning sunrises on the Bay while walking along the magnificent stretch of the downtown waterfront parks. It never gets old. Bonus if you see a dolphin bobbing in the water!<\/p>\n

The best lunch\/brunch spot<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your local lunch\/brunch go-to? <\/p>\n

It\u2019s always been Alesia<\/a> for their pork bun on a bed of rice (substituting noodles) and a side of bok choy and glass of ros\u00e9 if it\u2019s a casual Saturday brunch. Maybe add a small lobster bisque soup with that in cooler weather.<\/p>\n

Afternoon adventures<\/p>\n

How are you spending the rest of the day?<\/p>\n

For summer, it means a show at Studio@620<\/a> or American Stage<\/a>, art walking between galleries and museum exhibitions, or catching an indie at Green Light Cinema<\/a>. Support local Arts!<\/p>\n

Dinner and drinks<\/p>\n

Where are you heading once the sun starts to set?<\/p>\n

I love a watering hole that\u2019s cool, cozy, and beautifully designed, transporting you to a different place. That\u2019s The Scott<\/a> (try the espresso martini) In Between Days<\/a> or Pluma<\/a>. For dinner, you can never go wrong with Lolita\u2019s<\/a>. Kelly and Chef Alex\u2019s charming space is creative, inspired, and leaves you craving for more. Always leave room for dessert\u2013it\u2019s the Mexican chocolate pot de creme for me!\u00a0<\/p>\n
