"A comprehensive guide for all those wishing to explore Ybor City's cultural heritage."

"Delve into the legacy of Ybor City through the pages of this book. I highly recommend starting in the Ybor Visitor Information Center, taking a tour in one of the many great walking tours and checking out the Ybor City Museum. You can end your day with dinner at the historic Columbia Restaurant on 7th Avenue, one of America's most beautiful streets, and enjoy a cigar from Ybor's last remaining operational cigar factory."
—David Alvarez, Truist Bank
"This offering is a comprehensive guide to Ybor City's rich history and current community of businesses and sites. The culture of the area is presented in well researched depth with clear and understandable documentation. This is an invaluable resource for anyone who is interested in Ybor City's unique immigrant history or it's current status as a vibrant destination."
—Joe Howden, artist, historian, civic leader
