I firmly believe that every day can be Taco Tuesday if you try hard enough. I am obsessed with finding the most authentic street tacos, the spiciest local salsa, and the perfect margarita on the rocks. Join me as I eat my way through every single Mexican restaurant in St. Pete.

Every day is Taco Tuesday.

• Where to park near Pinellas beaches without expensive meter fees

  Honestly, if I am not sitting down for tacos afterwards, paying high parking fees just to stand near the ocean for an hour feels plain wrong! Like everyone else said, Fort De Soto at six dollars all day is unbeatable if you want to make a full weekend event out of it. For quick beach trips, I usually just carpool with friends and split whatever meter fee we end up with, then treat myself to a side of chips and spicy salsa with the money saved.

• Siren closing in downtown St. Pete after nine months

  I went out there once back around two months after they opened with some friends on a Saturday night. Honestly, it just felt totally out of place for central St. Pete. The drinks were wildly marked up, the cover charge felt steep, and the whole vibe felt like a generic club you would find in Tampa or Miami rather than our downtown spot where people prefer laid-back craft bars or food hubs. If your margarita costs fifteen bucks and tastes like bottled sour mix, people around here move on fast.

• Looking for blonde hair specialist recommendations without self advertising

  I disagree a bit on relying entirely on tagged photos because half the time people run heavy phone filters that completely warp the tone! You are better off stopping someone in person when you see great blonde hair at the market or grabbing drinks. Finding a legit colorist who will not torch your hair feels almost as tricky as finding a taco spot that serves actual spicy salsa instead of watered-down tomato sauce. My girlfriend is blonde and her big rule is that any stylist promising to take you bright blonde in one afternoon is a huge red flag. Make sure they use a bond builder during the process and space out your sessions over the next few months.

• Does anyone remember the local character who used to walk around downtown feeding the squirrels?

  Does anyone remember that local character who used to walk all around downtown feeding the squirrels? Every time I see a squirrel while getting tacos on Central, I end up thinking about him. He was a tall, older blonde guy, super tan, wearing a fanny pack and short shorts with his little ass hanging out, carrying a big bag of nuts for the squirrels. Just curious if he is still active around the downtown area or if anyone knows what happened to him?

• Rays World Series run ending against the Brewers - how is everyone feeling?

  We hosted watch parties for almost every game of the championship series with a full spread of street tacos and spicier-than-usual habanero salsa to keep the nerves down. The result against Milwaukee was not what we wanted, but the atmosphere around town during this postseason was electric. Win or lose, drinking margaritas on the patio and watching our team in the World Series is hard to complain about.
