With so many visitors in town for the Super Bowl, we thought it would be helpful for our food critic, Brian Ries, to give you some inside info to counter all the guidebook opinions you're likely to have heard. But that's not all: Follow the links below to find a comprehensive list of places to eat, drink and get crazy in several of the neighborhoods where we know you starving Super Bowlers will want to go. We know, because these are the places we like to go, too. PS: We couldn't include all of the area's dining and partying options in these pages. But if you do have more time on your hands, be sure to head north to sample the Main Street charms of Dunedin, and south to enjoy the splendors of Sarasota. Cheers!
