Countertop At My Favorite Cigar Bar In the World- King Corona In Ybor City
Every time I go to Tampa to visit my buddy DK I can’t wait to get to King Carona, order up a coffee, light up a nice cigar and relax in the chairs set up along the street in Ybor right out in front of King Carona. The people watching is some of the best anywhere with the young couples, tattood folks, gays, brothers, club goers, families and street denizens.
As good as the people watching is, hanging out with your best friends over a cigar on your own time is about as good as it gets.

Crawfish at Clearwater Bait and Tackle
I’m not exactly sure what seafood and Elvis have to do with each other but hey we’re in Clearwater- a delightfully redneck quirky town.

Seasonal Openings Part III
The list of what has opened is long so I am switching modes to only speak of Cape Ann eateries about to open or changes in hours as spring turns to summer. Speaking of summer, how do you like the summer weather? It only rains on Monday and Tuesday? Last year and 1986 it seemed like it only rained on Saturday and Sunday. No more of that. Hot and humid here on out.
The Cupboard: Latest rumors all point to the Cupboard Opening tomorrow, Thursday, May 6. Today is Cinco de Mayo but tomorrow is “Seis de Mayo por la almejas fritas”. Works for me. Please do not chase me down if they do not open on Thursday. Their Facebook page is requesting job applications. Unfortunately my daughter has another month of eighth grade.
They have to be open by Saturday and I will be there to get some onion rings and a fish sandwich. I just got my camera out of hock so I might even be able to take a photo instead of these blurry iPhone shots. (Sorry about that again Jerry Remy burger.)
The Rudder: I was all excited about reading in the Gloucester Daily Times yesterday that the Rudder was going to be open year round. But reviewing Joey’s interview of Jeanie Boland last fall after the renovation and using my keen reading comprehension on the GDT story I now realize they may be open only to private functions in the winter. We need to change that. Every time you eat there make sure you mention how much you want The Rudder to stay open year round. Duckworths can do it and so can the Rudder.
But for now, The Rudder is Thursday to Saturday open at 5PM then on June 17th they will be open all week through the summer.
Fun Fact: My brother Chris just told me he ran the raw bar at The Rudder in the 80s. So did he kill anyone off? 8)

My Warm Weaher Drink Of Choice When Away From Home- Stoli-O Tonic Prepared Here At Handsome Harry’s Naples, Fl
On warm days if I’m going to have a cocktail it’s usually an Stoli Oranj (Stoli-O in the bar trade) and tonic. It is smoothand refreshing and while some flavored vodkas can have an aftertaste which I’m not fond of Stoli-O on a hot day when on vacation and I don’t have access to my favorite local Beauport vodka will suit me just fine.
I had *ahem* a few of these last night 🙂

Da Sticka!
For the record I don’t approve of this type of public tagging 🙂
It’s cool that the folks at McD’s dig GMG though!
Represent!
