What's New in '23 in St Petersburg FL | 8 New Places in St Pete Florida | Spring Edition

[@Explorcation]

What do you think.... 1) are lobster 🦞 rolls worth the price? Are they better hot or cold? 2) which new St Pete spot would you be most excited to visit?! Thanks so much for checking out these unique new businesses in St Pete! If you enjoyed the episode you can help us out by giving it a thumbs up and sharing it 😊

[@genehinders9769]

Lobster Rolls..Yes, Warm, and Cecelia's

[@reginathornton7433]

If they are good, it's worth it. I've had Rubio's lobster tacos. Very sweet. (prefer fish) Never had the rolls.

[@debhawk8094]

Yes. So much like this is worth it!

[@Explorcation]

@@genehinders9769 we are going to have to try them warm, Cecelia's is a great addition to the area, thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🤗

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure. Thank you so much for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@reginathornton7433]

One of my favorite videos of yours. I've watched it at least 4 times. Thanks!

[@Explorcation]

Oh wow thanks so much, Regina!

[@Bear_Arms]

I'm glad Jamie is feeling better! I hope she gets back to 100% soon. I've also never had a lobster roll, but I've eaten plenty of lobster in my life. I love seafood. $20 for a roll seems like a fair price.

[@Explorcation]

Yeah we thought the $20 seemed fair too, considering the ones we saw in Boca Grande were over $30. Of course the one in Boca Grande may have had twice as much lobster on it. One of the cool things about making these videos is it makes us try a lot of things we otherwise would probably never try, and we're glad we paid the $20 for the lobster roll!

[@DellMara]

I can't choose there are so many great places!

[@Explorcation]

We don't blame you... we would have had a hard time choosing just one as well!

Greetings from NJ! Our daughter will be attending University of South FL Tampa this fall 2023 and I'm now obsessed with learning more about the area and what it has to offer. Your videos are very informative and helpful, so thank you for that!

I love seeing these new places pop up. I think the volcano penguin would be my fav

If you're a sweet lover than it probably will be. We hope you get a chance to try it someday soon!

[@Abcdlmnop-w4n]

Can't wait to try everything! Especially the vampire ice cream , looks so good😋

[@Explorcation]

The Vampire Penguin is sooo good! We hope you love it as much as we did.

[@greg33770]

Another great info video ! Thanks !👍 Love Lobster but.....Mayo on the Lobster ? No Thanks ! That strawberry cheescake looks yummy !

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Greg! The amount of mayo on the roll was quite small, barely noticeable, so we didn't mind it. That said, would have been happy with just lobster and melted butter because the lobster itself was so good! We hope you get a chance to try one for yourself, as well as a strawberry cheesecake vampire penguin at Cecelia's!

Always honest, awesome content from a brave bold couple. Wishing you all continued success and can't thank you enough for saving my beach vacation next week. Sargassum South Beach has been canceled! St.pete, here I come! 🤙

Thanks so much for the kind comment, Robert. Last we checked the beaches are pretty clean and beautiful around here. We hope you have an awesome vacation here in St. Pete! If you happen to run into us out and about, be sure to stop and say hi!

[@Blackoutbob81]

@Explorcation Yw and thank the Lord the beaches are ok. Appreciate that update! I guess I was assuming that far up on the Gulf side hadn't been impacted yet, and of course if I see you all out I'll be sure to say Hey!

[@debhawk8094]

Love it all! I am sorry about sciatica pain. I’ve had it before and it can be not only annoying but excruciating at times. I hope you feel better soon.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks, Deb! Thankfully the pain is now in the more annoying that excruciating stage, and we're confident that it will continue to improve. That said, it's been a LONG 5 weeks!

Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved this episode. You showcased so many unique places it would be hard to choose just one. I think the take away mini charcuterie is such a fantastic idea! Great for a picnic! So nice to see Jaime out and about again....glad you are on the mend! Looking forward to your next episode already 🙂❤

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, Graze Craze (the charcuterie) really is a cool concept. The owner plans to open more around the area if the first one does well, and we're sure it will! We're so happy that Jamie is able to get out and about again too. She's still a ways from 100%, but she now seems to be getting better (or at least not getting worse) every day, and for that we're very thankful! Thanks so much for the support, Ramune!

Just saw your channel and I have to say I am really impressed. The information and insights that you've given in St Pete are so useful. My wife and I are getting ready to celebrate our 30th anniversary on October 18th and will be staying at the dolphin Beach resort and watching your videos gave me so many more ideas for us to do. I really truly appreciate it thank you so much. I will come back and post some of the places that we went just so you guys are aware of some of the insights you gave that we used. thanks again. 😁

What a great video. We visited St. Pete for the first time this morning and walked around. We actually visited Cafe Clementine this morning for the baked goods and loved it. It was great to see they made it in your video.

Oh, my gosh, guys! Spending time with you in this video was like a mini vacation! I loved every minute of it! I think my fav spot to try first (if I *ever* get to St. Pete) would have to be the lobster roll place...that lobster roll and the crab soup looked absolutely delish!! As always, I love it when you focus on food and drink! Such fun... 🙂

[@Explorcation]

We're so happy you enjoyed the episode, Rhonda. We were a little hesitant to even make this one since Jamie was far from 100% and would have to be taking many breaks, but overall we're happy with how it turned out. The lobster and crab was definitely one of the highlights for us!

I’m not gonna lie, I was hoping to run into you both in St. Petersburg Cuz. Your videos help me out so much. My trip was last week. we really enjoyed the sunken Gardens.

[@Explorcation]

Ahh the sunken gardens are amazing. Especially on a hot day, because they stay so nice and cool/shaded. We wish we would have run into you as well. If you do happen to see us next time you are in the area, be sure to stop and say hi!

[@reginathornton7433]

I gotta try Cane & Barrel & Calida. I'll just try them all one day. I pass Calida all the time & didn't notice them. I had a great brunch at The Vinoy & a lunch at the Museum years ago. Fantastic places & a new one by me. Thanks Skylar & Jamie. So glad you are Better, Sis.

We really hope you enjoy them both, Regina! We will definitely have to do an actual meal at the Vinoy restaurant for a special occasion sometime. We're sure it will be amazing. We want to thank you again for all your tips and support for Jamie's sciatica! She's still not 100%, but she's doing so much better now than a couple of weeks ago.

Glad to see you both outside again in the sunshine . I think this has to be one of your best videos made , I be seen them all. I watched it with the surround sound , excellent music in background. So glad you feature the prices of items . $19.50 for a lobster roll is a fair price , here on Long Island, prices usually go for $34 and up, Great video

[@Explorcation]

Wow thanks so much. We weren't sure how good this video would end up being since Jamie was still far from 100% when filming and had to take many breaks, but we're really happy to hear that you though it was one of our best! You are right, $19.50 for a lobster roll does seem pretty reasonable knowing what they run on Long Island!

[@billyyandle1947]

Every visit y'all had looked incredible! Hoping we can go to St. Pete next year!!!

[@Explorcation]

Thanks, Billy! It was a little pricey, but very delicious! We really hope you guys are able to make it down next year!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Grace craze looked amazing! It would be the perfect option to pick up and take camping for us. I may make my own! The lobster roll spot looked awesome too. But really with all the options opening up how can you get to them all!? I want that strawberry vanilla cake thing... it was massive though!! A spouse that never lets you drink alone is key 😂

[@Explorcation]

Yes... the #1 key requirement to a long lasting marriage... drinking together 😂 And we've actually found that we'd probably have to do one of these videos every 1 or 2 months to keep up with all the new places, which ultimately would be too much $$$ and way too many calories!

[@ThereandBeck]

Loved all these spots on the video. We have had friends visit cane and barrel and they say it’s so good! We loved the charcuterie and will need to check out these places when visiting.

[@Explorcation]

Yes, both drinks and atmosphere at Cane and Barrel were great. The charcuterie idea is really cool, and it sounds like in time there will likely be more opening up around the area. I wouldn't be surprised if they make it into your area soon too (if they haven't already).

[@Venumus9]

Not everyday you eat a lobster roll, so enjoy it when you do! I dig your frugal vibe, that's how I tend to be also, but once in a while you gotta treat yo'self :)

[@Explorcation]

We agree 100% Got to splurge every once in a while. Keeping up with all these new places has required us to splurge a bit more than we are used to, but gotta show the people the good stuff 😅 Thanks so much for watching!

[@knucklestory9458]

Born and raised in Maine, our lobster men and women work very hard, it’s not only dangerous work but keeping up the maintenance on their boats is extremely expensive. Love you videos and I’ll be down to St. Pete beach in May🥳🥳

[@Explorcation]

Thank you for sharing. It's definitely a goal of hours to visit Maine in the near future and it will be fun to see how the lobster rolls up there compare to the ones we tried in this video. We hope you have an awesome time down here next month!

[@anthonyvalenti9093]

Another great tour. Is it legal to eat works of art? And you have given me a reason to visit a museum. By the way, my wife and I made it to Clearwater for a few days based on your video. We had a great time.

[@Explorcation]

😂 Good question., Anthony! I (Skylar) have never really had too much interest in museums either, but I'll gladly go to that one and eat pastries any day! We're glad our channel helped you guys make the most of your time in Clearwater!

[@Explorcation]

We kind of thought our first lobster roll would be in Maine too, but when we heard that Mason's had opened up just a few blocks from us, we had to try it (and are glad we did)! We hope you guys have a great week as well!

[@diebetty684]

Will definitely test the lobster roll and the vampire ice next week 👌

[@Explorcation]

Awesome! We hope you enjoy them both as much as we did.

[@BeingBedingfield]

😬😬I don’t think lobster rolls are worth the steep cost! It’s really yum, but not worth the price 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 Wow, those desserts look huge and delicious 🤤 the consistency seems very interesting! The variety at cafe Clementine would make it really hard to choose just 2! The poppyseed cake looks really yum! Love a good rooftop bar! Especially if they have such good looking cocktails 🤗 Yay for a new brewery 😁🍻

[@Explorcation]

We REALLY enjoyed the lobster roll we had, but still won't be forking over $20+ for one too often. It really is a lot to pay for a sandwich! The Vampire Penguin (such a weird name) really is an interesting consistency. It's much lighter than ice-cream (so you can eat more of it), but still very flavorful! If you ever make it up to the states, it's definitely worth a try!

[@Explorcation]

Yes, Drunken Clam is an awesome spot. We were just there again a few weeks ago! Mason's seems to be a great option for someone who's never tried a lobster roll before, as the price seems to be less expensive than most lobster rolls around the area. We really loved ours!

True on the hiking, but I don't think too many people visit Florida for it's hiking. It's the beaches, sunsets, warm weather, watersports, Disney, and a bunch of other things that attract people to the state. There's also some great hiking in the eastern US around the Appalachian Trail, but definitely hard to beat AZ, CO, and UT. Thanks for watching!

Hi Jamie and Skylar, as a long time subscriber I wanted to say thank you for all the good content you post on your channel. What I don't understand is why you didn't get a porcelain mug for your refreshment and silverware to eat with at the Vinoy? It is expensive and you get a plastic fork and a cardboard cup ? Really? I like the Mofa cafe, I have been to the Museum very often and I like sitting outside and enjoy food and drinks and they serve the food on porcelain plates and you got silverware, thats very good and environmental friendly. We will be in St. Pete in october and november and we will check some of the new places out when we are there. Ralf from Berlin, Germany

[@Explorcation]

Yeah at those prices it would be reasonable to expect some fancier dishes... but we will say that was probably the highest quality plastic silverware that we've ever seen 😂The Mofa sounds really nice. We really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment, Raif. We hope you have a great time in St. Pete in October and November!

[@jimagent1826]

We were in downtown St. Pete's last week. Lots of construction going on Center Street. Very frustrating

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, Central Ave (and First Ave S) is a bit of a warzone right now... hopefully it will clear up soon.

[@peaches79]

I just found your channel, thank you so much for sharing. I loved Graze Craze it looked so fresh. We’re planning a road trip in September to Florida from the UK. I think I have planned our stops on East Coast but I’m struggling with the Gulf Coast and your videos are helping me. We are like you guys tiki bars and sand in our feet. We loved the Keys, Destin, Pensacola and Siesta Key on previous visits. Unfortunately Sanibel Island is not possible right now but if you had 10 days on the Gulf/West Coast where would you recommend? I feel staying in Naples would push us over budget though.

[@Explorcation]

We're so happy that you discovered our channel and that it's helping you plan out your Florida Gulf Coast travels! Well since you've already been to Siesta Key, we'd definitely recommend Longboat/Anna Maria, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks/Indian Shores, Venice, Manasota Key, Don Pedro Island, Crystal River, and Homosassa Springs. That's probably more of a 20 day itinerary though for most people... but it gives you some options!

@@Explorcation Thanks again. We booked 4 nights in Sarasota so we can visit Siesta Key (again), Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island. We would have stayed on Longboat Key but the Labor Day weekend would take us over our $200 (max) budget a night accommodation. We will be coming from Lauderdale-By-The-Sea is there a activity/state park you would recommend en route ? We were thinking of taking the 27 to avoid hitting traffic around Naples, do you agree?

[@Explorcation]

@@peaches79 Sarasota is a great location to be able to visit Siesta, Longboat and Anna Maria. It is not surprising to us that Longboat was so expensive! We haven't spent too much time in Naples to be able to comment on the traffic, but we would recommend Corkscrew Swamp or CREW Wildlife. I believe you can take 75 to 29 to visit those areas. If you haven't seen our Naples episode yet I would recommend checking it out, we do visit both of those parks. Their experiences are very different, so it could help you decide if either are worth your time :)

[@chrontoke]

That cheese looks like something iv used before Artigiano Vino Rosso. It's pretty good cheese, isn't it? It's red wine that gives it that purple color. Lobster rolls are pretty good too. I understand why they're expensive though you only can get so much out of the lobster tail. There's two different versions. You can find a variation in Maine and a different variation in Connecticut. I love your videos. I'm glad I found your channel! I'm in the beginning process of selling some stuff. Saving some money, buying an RV and moving to the area!

[@chrontoke]

That was a cool drink, I liked the way they do that

[@Explorcation]

You are probably right on the cheese. We thought it was maybe blueberry, but it definitely could have been grapes. Either way it was delicious. And yeah, I've never seen a cheap lobster roll, and if I did, I'd probably be hesitant to eat it! The kind we tried was definitely the Maine version, so we'll have to keep an eye out for the Connecticut version so we can try that too. We're really glad you found our channel too! Thanks for watching.

I've basically been comparing all drinks to that one ever since I had it lol. It was that good.

[@bennk7767]

Hi Jamie and Skylar. Thank you for another great video, you find such neat places, and a great variety. Is it the places that you visited in this episode or have prices really been going up?

[@Explorcation]

Thank you Ben! Regarding the prices, it's honestly a bit of both. I'd say the new businesses in this video leaned a little higher end than they normally do, but the prices overall in St. Pete are definitely going up. It's not at all uncommon for menu items at a restaurant to be 20% higher than they were a couple years ago, but when rent, taxes, and wages keep going up, it almost always gets passed on to the customer!

Hello, Amanda! Congrats on the move back to Florida. We're so happy you discovered our channel and that is is helping you to get re-acquainted with the area!

@@Explorcation We tried to go to Sandbar Bill’s but parking was nuts! You’re right about today! Traffic isn’t bad but parking is tough. We lucked out and found a place at Pass a Grille. Do you know of another good burger place with a parking lot?

@@Explorcation and happy 4th by the way!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 we’re still watching your videos while we’re here! We did go to Cafe Soleil earlier! So good!!!

@@amandaferrell2475 so glad you lucked out and found parking, the other place for burgers would be Willy's...but there parking is limited too!

@@amandaferrell2475 we hope you had a happy 4th too 😁 aww cafe Soleil...we need to get back out there soon!

We’re in St. Pete right now on our vacation. For us, so much frustrations. I booked 10 days hotel. 😢

[@Explorcation]

Sorry to hear this. What are your frustrations in regards to?

[@donaldsiler6779]

The price is fine to try it ut Hot but I think in general it is over priced unless you are in New England. Sorry about the nerve pain try a Muscular Skeletal Tharapist they work more wnders than Dr.. I blew out my L5 23 years ago and had it partially removed but I still have days of pain. Streching it out seems to work best for me you know push on a bruise.

[@Explorcation]

That's kind of what we thought. It was worth the price, but not something we'll be eating on a regular basis. But when we do finally make it to England, we'll be sure to try one there! Sorry to hear about your back issues. Jamie is finally at the point where she can walk for extended periods of time (still can't sit), but every days seems to be getting a bit better now so we are very thankful!

[@Autumn_Deerfield]

Nope, never had a lobster roll, they're too costly for me! Those boxes & vampire desserts are amazing!!

[@Explorcation]

Yeah, we still probably wouldn't have been willing to pay for one either if we weren't making a video... but we got to admit it was delicious and can think of many worse ways to spend $20! Thanks so much for watching.

It as nice meeting you please check out the helm. Also if you ever want a free stay at a nice vacation rental, let me know. I know a few owners that would LOVE that type of marketing.

[@Explorcation]

It was great meeting you too! Thanks so much for stopping by to chat. We can't wait to try that she crab soup. We really appreciate the potential connection with vacation rentals. We've thrown around the idea of making a video showing what type of vacation rental a certain amount of money per night can get you in each of St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks... There's also a good chance that we'll film a multi-day video of some sort out on the beaches and could fit an AirBNB/rental tour within the video. If you'd like, please feel free to email us at [e-mail] so that we can stay in contact!

If only sweets and coffee would cure sciatica! Lobster roll is good but overrated.

[@Explorcation]

Right?!?! I would have been 💯 weeks ago 😁 We agree on the 🦞 very good but too pricey. Thanks for watching!

Sombody got a hot wife.

[@neonsean1983]

This was an awesome video yall. Just heard vampire penguin is the best sweets place around. Thanks for the information, hopefully these places give you a marketing discount

[@Explorcation]

Yup.... still trying to figure out how I pulled that one off 😂

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Sean. We're glad you enjoyed the video... and yeah, Vampire Penguin is great. You should try it sometime if you get the chance!

[@PickledHam]

have you guy thought of becoming private tour guides? Seriously, I will pay you to show the good spots of St Pete instead of just the beach. mainly .. dont want to drive and to learn some st pete history and quick facts.

[@Explorcation]

If we ever decide to slow down a bit on the KZbin channel, that could definitely be an option to consider. It would definitely be a valuable service that I'm not sure anyone around here is offering. It really means a lot that you would want us to show you around St. Pete!

[@wytemanfrmtwn9363]

This not the real Saint Pete. This is downtown.

[@Explorcation]

If downtown St. Pete is not the "real" St Pete, what is?

[@leshaatbu555]

You guys make great videos but please don’t follow the stupid trend by inserting those stupid meme clips into your videos, takes way from your genuine personalities

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We appreciate it!
