    About Grand Central District

    If you’re gay, this should be a must-visit area if you’re looking for things to do in Tampa Bay. With a gay-friendly vibe, thanks to its annual hosting of St. Pete Pride, this enclave of small stores, trendy restaurants and gay and lesbian bars is becoming a welcoming stop along Central Avenue between 16th and 28th streets. Long-running bar Detours anchors the west end, and charming restaurants like Queenshead and Beak’s Old Florida offer eclectic dining for a great restaurant experience in Tampa Bay.
