Samurai Blue is a trendy sushi destination in Ybor. With a menu that boasts fusion sushi rolls with unusual ingredients like sweet potatoes, as well as the classics, there’s something for everyone in this "Neo-Tokyo" lounge. 

Neon lights flash against the brick walls and high ceilings that give the restaurant a futuristic feel, as well as harken to Ybor’s past. Take a seat at the sushi bar or snuggle up in one of the booths and enjoy the constant stream of patrons grabbing a bite and some sake before hitting the clubs.

Weekend with the girls

Sex and the city, we are not. One of my college friends visiting this weekend is majorly pregnant, one has a toddler, the other is a newly wed. And then there's me, under pressure to create the most awesome Tampa itinerary ever.
