Last night this here website 813area threw a magnificent party at District Tavern to invite some of Tampa’s finest to join our Localite Program. Localites are people who are active in their local communities and will use 813area to engage with others via the platform to bring Tampa Bay closer together.
We celebrated the new meaning of local, and how our site can help you to be a local everywhere you go in this area. We had festive drinks from partners like St. Pete Distillery and Banyan like the Island Hopper, As Told By Ginger and Grandpa’s Soda. The Island Hopper was Old St. Pete Righteous Rum mixed with pineapple gum syrup, cacao nib and lime. The As Told by Ginger was Banyan Reserve mixed with ginger root, blanched strawberries, ginger beer and lime. Grandpa's Soda was Old St. Pete Whiskey mixed with cherry coke reduction orange mist and bitters. Each drink was paired with an appetizer. The Island Hopper went well with the shrimp shooter, The As Told by Ginger paired with the Southwest Chicken bowls and the Grandpa’s Soda was paired with the Tavern Shooter!
The most popular item of the night was the Tavern Shooter which was smoked gouda, brie, pancetta, arugula, caramelized onions on a toasted baguette with roasted tomato bisque. District Tavern sells them during lunch and dinner hours, and they are delicious!
After a presentation about the program and where MyArea Network is heading as a company, six winners who got a variety of items in their goodie bags. We gave away plenty of bottles of Touch Vodka, 813area swag, some Women’s Final Four basketballs, and Tampa Bay Lightning swag.
