From Saloons to Steak Houses

"Since it's early days as a boomtown on the Florida frontier, Tampa has had a lively history rich with commerce, cuisine, and working-class communities. In From Saloons to Steak Houses, Andrew Huse takes readers on a journey into historic bars, theaters, gambling halls, soup kitches, clubs and restaurants, telling the story of Tampa's past through these fascinating social spaces -- many of which can't be found in official history."--Inside front jacket cover.
