At our 2.21.07 meeting, we discussed the fact that Viva la Frida restaurant in Tampa is undergoing possible change of ownership.
With that in mind, Rachel Longstaff and I proposed that we consider taking the students to the Ceviche Tapas Restaurant in the Ponce de Leon (historic) Hotel in downtown St. Petersburg near the pier and the Yacht Club, http://www.ceviche.com/index2.php.
If we decide to go there, we could eat upstairs or use the downstairs (former speak-easy) "Ten Beach Drive" that features live Flamenco guitar players but has a limited menu of the cold and hot tapas.
Here is the link to the menu for the main restaurant: http://www.ceviche.com/menu.php. Here's what the site has to say about the food: "Each of the 45 tapas has its own character and reflects traditional dishes from the small tapas bars in old Spain. All contain the purest sherry, almonds, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, olives, Spanish ham, cheeses, great mussels, sea bass pork and quail."
The restaurant is located at the corner of Central Avenue and Beach Drive. Considering the district's rich cultural offerings, it was proposed that we make this a Saturday trip instead of a Friday night, with the intention of including other activities for the students.
With that in mind, here is a link to some events in St. Petersburg for March: http://cms.stpete.org/default.asp?page=1420. Rachel and I are available to sponsor this trip on either the 7th or the 21st of April.
See you at the next meeting.
