Tampa Home To ‘Friends’-Themed Airbnb

You may be a big fan of 'Friends.' If you'd like to feel as though you're living in the apartment they had, here's an opportunity.

There's an a couple of Airbnbs themed as your favorite show. One is right here in the Tampa area.

Airbnb's website tells about the property. It's a 1920's bungalow. Outside, there's a front porch with a seating area. Inside, you'll feel like you're in the apartments held by your favorite 'Friends' characters. You'll recognize many of the decorations that remind you of Marcel, the 'Friends' cookbook and the foosball table.

They also point out that it's built on a busy Ybor City road, so you'll hear plenty of city sounds. That will help you feel as though you're in Manhattan. They also have noise machines to help with that illusion. They say it's quieter in the farthest room from the front.

Here's a little more about the 'Friends' Airbnb:

The annual foodie festival at EPCOT features the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Here's who will be there for 2022.

As with the International Flower & Garden Festival's Garden Rocks Concert Series, internationally famous artists will play on Friday though Monday, while local musicians take the stage Tuesday through Thursday.

There are a handful of artists who have never played the Eat to the Beat Concert Series before. They include Tonic, Jeremy Camp, Blanco Brown, Hoobastank, Los Amigos Invisibles, Stokley, Robert Randolph Band, Newsboys and Ray Parker, Jr. Of course, there are favorites returning for 2022. There are some Q105 favorites, such as Taylor Dayne, Tiffany, Sheila E., .38 Special, Ray Parker, Jr. and Billy Ocean. The full lineup is pretty impressive.

Here's the schedule:

Best known for "Who Let The Dogs Out," the Baha Men also had a hit with a cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight."

With a revival of swing a few years back, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has had feet moving at their live shows since 1989. The had one charting single, "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)," but every one of their songs can get you moving.

They had a smash with "If You Could Only See"

A giant in inspirational music.

Taylor had a run of hits such as "Tell It to My Heart", "Prove Your Love", "I'll Always Love You", "Don't Rush Me", "With Every Beat of My Heart" and "Love Will Lead You Back," Not too shabby!

The legendary Tiffany (that's how she was introduced in the past at Epcot...) still has it.

Another classic artist who had hits including ""Ride Like the Wind", "Sailing" and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)".

He topped the U.S. Country Chart with "The Git Up"

A Memphis blues band, Southern Avenue formed in 2015.

Two "American Idol" alums join together at Epcot.

Okay, there's no individual song that can truly tell you who Postmodern Jukebox is. You can go through their YouTube channel to find lots of songs in different styles, and that's what they do, so many different styles.

Known for being a percussionist with Prince, Sheila E. was also successful on her own.

Station House BBQ is just down the road from home, so it's natural that I'm going to have some favorites! Here's what I choose from when I have that BBQ craving.

The restaurant is on Florida Avenue in Lutz. Opened by Anthony and Allison Fonseca, it's quickly become one of the most loved bbq restaurants in the area. Anthony, a firefighter and Allison, a teacher, joined up with Joshua Paul and turned their side-business into a success. They also give back to their community, especially for first responders.

They were also featured on Good Morning America. That's some nice national exposure, but we have them all to ourselves in the Tampa area!

Now, back to the food. Here are my five favorite items from Station House BBQ:

This is a tasty combination of flavors. The Station 40 is made up of pulled pork and chopped brisket... then, add the "Not Yo' Mama's slaw," smoked gouda cheese sauce, bacon, jam and their special Station 40 sauce and served on a toasted kaiser bun.

There's no going wrong with another bbq standard: a rack of ribs!

There just can't be enough ribs!

-Loaded Tots
-If you like sausage, the 'Hog Tower'
-If you like spicy foods, the 'Tampa Hot' chicken sandwich

It's always tough for me to decide!
