Channelside Bay Plaza

Right next to Tampa's cruise-ship terminal, this outdoor mall offers a vast array of shopping and dining options, as well as live music in a large courtyard. Look out for Qachbals Chocolatier, inventive fusion restaurant Flambe, and Splitsville, a 21 & up bowling alley and restaurant chain targeting a younger crowd.

We were so surprised to visit Channelside and find it almost derelict. Movie theaters and other businesses shuttered. A few restaurants and watering holes still open. Hopefully someone will buy this and breathe some life into it. Not at all worth making it a destination...
