Trip’s is one of the best better-than-usual diners without the overpriced hooha of other updated, yupscale ’50s-style greasy spoons. While there, be sure to order the luxuriant coconut cream pie for dessert. The pie’s dense lusciousness and subtle tropical notes will make all others taste like Mounds filling by comparison. 2339 Dr. MLK Jr. St. N, St. Petersburg, 727-498-8980, tripsdiner.com.
