“Seminole Heights is the largest neighborhood in Tampa and the first suburb of Tampa to became incorporated. It’s largely the center for creative types in Tampa.”

— Chef Greg Baker

Chef Greg Baker opened his restaurant The Refinery in 2010 in an off the beaten track neighborhood in north Tampa. Today, this neighborhood is becoming the up and coming destination. Baker talks about why he moved to Seminole Heights and his favorite eating and drinking haunts.
