Ford’s Garage is the newest establishment to occupy the location at the southwest corner of 1st Avenue and 2nd Street South in St Petersburg, Florida. When we were downtown residents this was Midtown Sundries and we were regulars here. Now it’s a craft burger place with a tempting selection of beers on tap. We met friends Lou and Peg here for lunch and found it a bit noisy for conversation though the food was tasty. It definitely would be fun to come here in the evening hungry for burgers and thirsty for beer.

With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do.
