Local newbs and natives alike can never have enough venues to help them connect with home, and J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is definitely one of those destinations.
The family is pouring money into the V.M. Ybor neighborhood and welcomes two reporters—Tampa Bay Times’ Gabrielle Calise and Axios’ Kathryn Varn—for this talk built around Best Of the Bay-winning “Florida!” an A24 book the duo worked on and released in 2022.
The tome is a must-have guide to the quirky aspects of the Sunshine State, and it’ll be fun to hear the authors dive into the research they did around our neck of the woods. And, yes, we hope they discuss Taylor Swift’s new song about the Sunshine State, too.
Registration is encouraged, but there’s no cover for “Florida!: In Conversation with Gabrielle Calise & Kathryn Varn” happening Tuesday, May 14 at J.C. Newman Cigar Company in V.M. Ybor.
