You 2 are just so "GAME". Never ever stop learning, that is my motto. Also who doesn't love a true success story. Adding to my long Newstate bucket list.

[@NewstateNomads]

Susie, we couldn't agree more! Be sure to check out our midweek video next week, we'll be digging in even more with Chef Robert. 👍 -Howard

I enjoy all of your videos, but I'm especially enjoying this series because it's in my own backyard. After living in St. Pete for the past 46 years, I'm realizing just how much of my own area I've never visited, and you've highlighted a few places I'd never heard of (the glassblowing demonstration is now on our to-do list). There is no doubt a TON of stuff to do and see here, but it looks like you've found some of the best. Bodega has long been our go-to lunch spot when we're downtown. Their food and drinks are amazing! I was so happy to see you chose it to try out.

[@NewstateNomads]

You nailed a challenge we have wherever we go: what to see, do, and eat! We frequently check in with the local visitors bureau (which BTW is a great tip even if you live somewhere), and then ask locals, read blogs, etc. So glad that we could even surprise and delight a local like you with new ideas! 👍 -Howard

[@julianapetitt745]

Wow the glass art was incredible

[@NewstateNomads]

Absolutely incredible, Juliana! We were so fortunate with the personal tour of the collection AND to witness up close a new beautiful glass piece being created. 👍 -Howard

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Wow what an insanely amazing area - every bit of art was so cool and the chef’s story - I have read about him! And the sanitizer - wow. You do such a fabulous job!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Wow, thank you so much! We love sharing stories like Chef Robert and others who aim to make a difference in the communities. 👍 -Howard

[@tarac5137]

This episode was chock full of goodness! Howard did pretty well with the wheel throwing. I’ve taken a few classes, it’s challenging. If you don’t know already, you may enjoy The Zest podcast. It’s all about food in FL, mostly the Tampa area. I also like Wait Five Minutes podcast, which is about FL history, people, places. Thanks for the good suggestions! Still hope to make it to the Dali for the Van Gogh installation. ✌🏻

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks for the suggestions, Tara! We'll check out both of the podcasts. Speaking of the Dali, we still have so much to see in the area! 👍 -Howard

[@rachellemackenzie4191]

Another fantastic episode! You highlight truly inspiring local people who are making a positive impact. Thank you! ❤️ 😊

[@NewstateNomads]

Aww Rachelle! Thank you ♥️ those are definitely our favorite types of stories to tell! We're always on the hunt for the unique and inspirational! 🥰 -Katelyn

[@agm6095]

Thanks for the video. Amazing talent those glass blowers have. I loved the look of the Cuban sandwich, no good Cuban sandwiches here in Northern California.

[@NewstateNomads]

Glad you enjoyed it, and 100% right about the talented glass blowers! Thanks so much for watching. 👍 -Howard

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

We love St. Pete! The food is always awesome. Our favorite place to visit is the Dali Museum. So much fun!. Lou & Angie

[@NewstateNomads]

Yes! The food scene here is great. We still have the Dali museum on our list. Next time for sure! 😊 -Katelyn

[@gwenmoody8323]

Thanks, Gwen! 👍 -Howard

[@stevejohnson5044]

How are you doing today? Always see your comments here

[@shannonalward217]

What a fun video as always! We have a glassblowing factory here in KY and they let you do the glassblowing yourself to make a Christmas ornament It turned out great even for a confirmed non-artist like myself. Loved Howard’s Ghost comment! 😂 Such a moving story about Chef Robert. 💜

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video Howard and Katelyn! Love the pottery and glass blowing and the food looked good too as usual. Looking forward to hearing more stories on the chief and it was nice learning of the distillery and hand sanitizer. Thus whole video was great. Thank you so much! Hope you have a great week what’s left of it and see you soon!

[@NewstateNomads]

Sherri, thanks so much! We have loved our time in the area and sharing what we've found. Hope you can join us Sunday at 8P EDT for our next live! -Howard

[@sherriweber7105]

@@NewstateNomads Yes I will be there Sunday night. With bells on. I set the reminder bell. Can’t wait. I had so much fun the last time. I laughed so hard. You have great weekend. See you soon.

[@edrumsas5420]

Very cool. Never knew St Pete had so much to offer.

[@NewstateNomads]

Right, Ed?! So cool! It's so vibrant and the art scene is amazing! Thanks for tuning in :) -Katelyn

[@moretoknowshow1887]

In the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli: Awesome, totally awesome :)

[@geraldb9706]

Awesome episode Howard and Katelyn! Really enjoyed seeing this area and all there is to do there. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you Gerald!! So glad you enjoyed it, we were blown away by all that there is to do and see here! -Katelyn

[@hank1527]

We visited the Chihuly Garden in Seattle WA. Loved it. We will visit the St Petersburg next time in FL. Great video

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much Han! So glad you're adding St. Pete to your list 😊 -Katelyn

[@b1mfua33]

Loved the glass-bowling class,I could watch them all day. The food looked delicious as always.I always wanted to try a clay class,one more item on my bucket list. So many inspirational people in this video. Thank you for this..🙂

[@NewstateNomads]

Now imagine if we had tried to jam all of St. Pete & Clearwater into ONE episode! At this point, we're already working on a third episode to dive deeper into Chef Robert's story. Truly an inspiration and incredible story. 👍 -Howard

[@kimproffer695]

Loved the glass blowing and the pottery! 2 new things I look forward to doing when I’m in the area!! 😊

[@NewstateNomads]

Kim, there's so much to see and do in the area! Certainly famous for the beaches, but it was so much fun to surprise even locals on new things! 👍 -Howard

[@jimndenise3422]

Almost 20k subscribers!! Yay!

[@ericvaneck4296]

More buck list things:). You two need to be tour guides.

[@NewstateNomads]

Eric, I mean, aren't we KINDA virtual tour guides already? 😂 -Howard

[@dianabalto]

Are they Italians ?

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Today I accompanied. friend to an Eel farm not far from both our homes. My friend is 5 years older than I am and a'native' from here. Me, as an import, had to show her the way through such gorgeous typical Dutch landscape and to this Eel farm which she never visited or knew was there. It goes to show- there is so much to see and discover close to home. Your video today illustrated so many enjoyable. educational and fun stuff to do. I wonder how many locals have tread those paths before you? Oh if you are making a list of things to visit while in the Netherland, check out Leerdam Glass. www.nationaalglasmuseum.nl/ Another enjoyable video experience. Thanks. 👍🎥🌷🙋‍♀️

[@NewstateNomads]

Wow!! An eel farm sounds super cool! And you're so right... There's often a lot to explore in your own backyard. We've gotten a lot of comments, particularly on the Jacksonville series and this one, from people saying they had no idea about some of these activities! We love helping to open their eyes! 😍♥️ -Katelyn

[@NewstateNomads]

And yes!! We'll definitely add that to our list for when we are able to come over!
