So, this yearโs Dining Survey & Contest is all new! Below are pictures & descriptions of all of the mom-&-pop and small (10 units total or less) chain restaurants in or near New Tampa (see location info below), with their addresses, phone numbers, websites and a picture of their exteriors and/or signage.ย
All weโre asking you, as New Tampa residents, to do in this issue is name your FIVE (5) Favorite Restaurants located in New Tampa โ all of zip code 33647, and Bruce B. Downs Blvd. between Tampa Palms & E. Bearss Ave, as well as on E. Bearss Ave. between Bruce B. Downs & Livingston Ave.) โ on the entry form HERE!ย
Submit a correctly filled-out form and youโll be entered into a random drawing to win up to $200 in FREE dining at the restaurant of your choice located ANYWHERE in the Tampa Bay area!ย
Please do not include ANY restaurants located in zip codes 33543, 33544 or 33545 (Wesley Chapel) in this monthโs Survey. Youโll get to vote for your five favorites in Wesley Chapel next issue.
Here is what you need to know to enter this yearโs Survey & Contest:
(I hope) every brick-&-mortar restaurant that serves food and is located in & near New Tampa (NT) that is either a true mom & pop or part of a โchainโ โ whether regional or national โ that has fewer than ten (10) total locations, is listed in alphabetical order below.ย
Please note that although the restaurant list doesnโt include any chain eateries with 10 or more locations in New Tampa, you can still write the names of your favorite chains in any or all of the five spaces on the entry form HERE.ย
But, whether you choose five places from the New Tampa list of more than 70 restaurants or five chains that donโt appear on the list or some combination thereof, in order to be considered to win any of this yearโs five dining prizes, you must write the names of FIVE (5) NT-area restaurants in the five spaces on the entry form HERE!ย
HERE ARE OUR OTHER RULES!
1) DO NOT write the name of your one favorite place in more than one Top-5 space. Only its first-place vote will count.
2) If the restaurant is on this list, we consider it to be in New Tampa. If you want to vote for a chain restaurant, please look up its zip code or location to see if it qualifies as a New Tampa restaurant.
3) In order for your votes to count and help your favorite restaurants, you must include your real first AND last name, the community you live in (K-Bar Ranch, West Meadows, etc.), your daytime phone number where I can reach you (which I will only do if your name is selected to win a prize) and your valid email address.
3) This yearโs prizes are again FREE dining at any restaurant YOU choose anywhere in the Tampa Bay area, inclduing the Grand Prize of $200, as well as prizes of $100, $75, $50 & $25.
4) See the Entry Form HERE to find out how to have your votes counted & win prizes! Good Luck! โ GNย
