Chamber Ribbon Cuttings

I’m so glad that our outstanding new sales and marketing rep Tom Damico (email him at Tom@NTNeighborhoodNews.com) is now going to many of the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) ribbon cuttings these days because, quite honestly, I just can’t go to as many of them as I once did (which was pretty much all of them).

The Chamber, fresh off its second acquisition of/merger with another Chamber (the Greater Pasco Chamber, as we reported in our last issue), continues to cut ribbons all over New Tampa and Wesley Chapel. Among the recent free events either myself or Tom attended were:

• July 12 for Mosquito Hunters

• July 15 at The Goddard School for Early Childhood Development of Wesley Chapel

• July 20 at The Learning Experience of New Tampa

• July 27, VIP Travel

• Aug. 2 at Cry-X

• Aug. 5 at KidsPark of Tampa, celebrating its one-year anniversary

Have You Tried Fat Rabbit & Precinct Pizza?

Although S.R. 56 and the Shops at Wiregrass get the most attention, the New Tampa area has had two pretty good restaurants open since our last issue reached you. The Fat Rabbit Pub, located near Vallarta’s & Cappy’s Pizza in the City Plaza at Tampa Palms shopping center, has a great menu with outstanding blackened wings, great burgers and a premium liquor bar with great drink prices and a more upscale atmosphere than you might expect. 

For info, stop in or visit FatRabbitPub.com.

• I also really like the new Precinct Pizza, located in the space formerly occupied by Zaytoun Mediterranean Grill on Cross Creek Blvd. at Morris Bridge Rd.

Featuring a huge menu of Italian favorites, in addition to very good NY-style ‘za and décor, owner Rick Drury and his family are proud to bring the 2nd location of this Channelside favorite to New Tampa.
