Get more info & tickets here - coastalcreativetv.com/event/tom-ds-big-florida-show/
Tom's a walking, talking minefield of information. I can't imagine there's a better New York City tour guide and i've seen more than a few on youtube. I'd love Tom to do some old v new NYC vids. I'd love him to check out Joseph Mitchell's epic work ' Up In The Old Hotel' and walk us through that city within the city that NYC today. Communication is an art form in itself and this guy's got it down to pat.
My mom worked in a Ybor city cigar factory for 5 years in 1975. The factory closed and was abandoned in the 80’s, It was close to Desoto elementary. My Father worked at the shipyard. We lived in that area for about 10 years.
Tom, you should do a tour of Clearwater and all the Greeks who are sponge divers there. There is a long history of Greeks leaving the Greek Islands and going to Clearwater and continuing the business. Great video BTW!
Great job of presenting Tampa. I’m from Tampa and I have a history degree. I’ve been on walking tours in Ybor and you did a great job of capturing the history.
@@DenmarckAddams5657 no sir,...what u mean is the ones YOU'VE HAD are garbage....come to Tampa i send u to the real....leave those 7/11 fake cubans alone boss. 😏👌
Fresh video, Tom! Nice break again from the usual stuff. Great work by Silvio and Lucie as well, she seems to conveniently be in the same locations as you to do camera work a lot. Liked for the almighty algorithm. Looking forward to more, as usual. Cheers!
@@tomdnyc1 Not true! I grew up in a small town. I took my 86 year old dad as my date to my 40th. My dad had a blast. I was the designated driver. Maybe no one wants to return to Tampa?
Bro! I’m a third generation florida native and I work in tampa everyday... that video was great! You dropped a bunch of facts I didn’t know and your delivery is awesome.... keep it up... great vid
This is also my hometown (6 generations) I was actually born about a block from The Cuban Club. My family came to work at the cigar factory many years ago. My dad designed the Immigrant Statue in Ybor City . Your facts are spot on. Well done. 👏👏👏
Went to UT in 69-70. Funny coincidence; as I was leaving to go to University from Bklyn. My dad told me we had relatives in shrimps down there. Guess who .. Joe Versaggi
Loved that you came to Tampa, my office is at the Italian club in Ybor City, But you didn’t mention the underground tunnels that run throughout Ybor city to the near by Port of Tampa which was used during Prohibition. Love your channel I’m from NYC so I’ve seen all your RUclipss. Keep it up!
Thank you for putting this out there! Nice to see Tampa from your perspective. Next time you’re visiting perhaps a video on St Pete? I’m sure fellow Floridians out there in the world would love it.
thought you might be more affective to ask people to subscribe in the middle or at the end of the video.. asking to give you a thumbs up & subscribe at the beginning doesnt work.. in fact it works against your message.... Other than that - I really do enjoy your tours....
Another great video Tom, so cool that you got to interview your High-school buddies. Could you interview some of your old High-school teachers next time? Love to hear what they would have to say.
I liked this little walking tour. Having been born and raised in Tampa for the first 30 years of my life, this was like going back home again. Sad to say that I haven't been there in over 17 years.
West Virginia was actually the last to become a state east of the Mississippi when it separated from Virginia during the Civil War to join the Union,but Florida was probably the last territory east of the Mississippi River to become a State.
Nicely done, would have liked murals and street art and old cigar box art. (You had five seconds of it at most.) In addition if there was 1940's cracker box cottage architecture during the war build out, would have been interesting, along with homes of Spanish influence. It must be impossible to find a Banyan tree laden street in Tampa. Wonderful video ideas.
I so enjoyed your tours of where I live now, Tampa and the areas of Ridgewood and Bushwick NY. where I lived 1st 20 years of my life... Appreciate your knowledge, demeanor and pacing.
I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos touring NYC all day long only to find this Tampa video! Lol I’ve been living in Tampa for 18 years but I’m definitely gonna watch this Tampa tour just because your tour guide style is so funny and interesting! 🎉
YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH MY HOMETOWN, NYC. I LIVED THERE FOR 40 YEARS IN MANHATTAN AND DIDN'T KNOW HALF THE HISTORY YOU COVERED. NOW I LIVE IN TAMPA AND AM GETTING EDUCATED AS WELL. TY
Im only 6 mins in and I’ve decided to plan a non drinking day trip to Ybor City bc a lot of this looks unfamiliar and ive been to Ybor a million times. 😅 I need to stop drinking so much😛
"You RUclips bastards and your copyright strikes", ha ha so true! My channel's tiny and I get hit with them through no fault of my own; music playing when walking/talking past stores, cars blasting out music, some food stands in NYC playing music etc. It's an ongoing battle! LOL Keep it going Tom, you're killing it man!
Love the videos! I’m from just south of Tampa in Sarasota and lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years. I lived near Coney Island and was obsessed with its history. Have you already covered Coney Island?
You definitely know your shit. I love this video because I recognize every area you walk through with memories with friends , girlfriends and even drunk assholes that want to ruin everyone's time with all their ignorance lol.Thanks for the tour brother it brought back great memories and it's going to make me go this weekend. And you should get these places to sponser you. You speak well and lay out the info smooth. Take care from a Tampa fl resident.

You should be a host on the history channel or some similar outlet and produce content like this. You’re very good at it.

Welcome home.
He doesn’t have enough alien content for the history channel
Love your family and friends discount.🤣
Do you do live tours?
4:38 What! I was so close to Cuba but never visited it!
You missed your golden opportunity for those sweet, sweet IG likes!
There is not a single walking tour guide on RUclips better than Tom Delgado. I have Liked, Subscribed and Patreoned.
I showed Scott the walk so he took my advice and did a tour

Yes, definitely. I would love to cover Tarpon Springs!
Tarpon springs technically
@@tomdnyc1
You should do St. Augustine too
I enjoyed this video. Tampa is a great place; you should do another video on the area since there is so much to explore. Keep it up
I’m from Tampa. I’m always skateboarding in the city and ybor. This was a great video
Great job of presenting Tampa. I’m from Tampa and I have a history degree. I’ve been on walking tours in Ybor and you did a great job of capturing the history.
Excited to see you in my home state Tom, Thanks for the tours!
Tampa is an underrated beautiful city, thx for stopping buy. Also we the Kings of Cuban sandwiches.
Miami Cuban Sandwiches are garbage,and it’s mostly Cuban people down here,go figure 🤷♂️Tampa Cuban Sandwiches are the best
@@DenmarckAddams5657 no sir,...what u mean is the ones YOU'VE HAD are garbage....come to Tampa i send u to the real....leave those 7/11 fake cubans alone boss. 😏👌
Yup. Fuck Miami.
There's absolutely no evidence Jose Gaspar existed but we still love him and this is otherwise a pretty accurate video.
He did not go to the Columbia restaurant
You're hilarious. And hot. Lol.👍
Lived here for 3 years and didn't know all of this history. Thanks for sharing! It makes exploring downtown much more interesting
We are relatively new to Tampa and Is was pretty interesting hearing about some of the history of Ybor and Tampa area!!!
Love this channel. Tom is extremely entertaining but knowledgeable at the same time.
Fresh video, Tom! Nice break again from the usual stuff. Great work by Silvio and Lucie as well, she seems to conveniently be in the same locations as you to do camera work a lot. Liked for the almighty algorithm. Looking forward to more, as usual. Cheers!
Gracias, gracias, Señor Markuse!
how about doing a tour of St Augustine
I wonder who actually goes back to highschool reunions after 10-20 years!
Tom does!
Ha, I imagine only the people who want to show something off.
@@tomdnyc1 Not true! I grew up in a small town. I took my 86 year old dad as my date to my 40th. My dad had a blast. I was the designated driver. Maybe no one wants to return to Tampa?
@@thepursuitofhappiness2126
I had to come back to the Tampa area unwillingly and I am making sure I’m gone by summers end lol
I went to my 10yr HS reunion. Never again.
Bro! I’m a third generation florida native and I work in tampa everyday... that video was great! You dropped a bunch of facts I didn’t know and your delivery is awesome.... keep it up... great vid
Hey Tom! The ocean called, their running out of shrimp 🍤 those who know. Know! 😉
That's the best you got??
This is also my hometown (6 generations) I was actually born about a block from The Cuban Club. My family came to work at the cigar factory many years ago. My dad designed the Immigrant Statue in Ybor City . Your facts are spot on. Well done. 👏👏👏
Love the architecture and streets look so clean 👍🏾
Another homerun Tom! Good stuff as always 👍
Went to UT in 69-70. Funny coincidence; as I was leaving to go to University from Bklyn. My dad told me we had relatives in shrimps down there. Guess who .. Joe Versaggi

He doesn’t know about that
Please do a bronx tour
Tom, how do you remember all of this history?
if you do a part two please visit the Tampa theatre , its old and very beautiful.
Tom Tampa is my favorite city. I feel like we’re kin now.
I love how culturally rich our shared hometown of Tampa is and I really enjoyed watching this - thank you!
3:07 - RIP Spaghetti Warehouse
Thank you for putting this out there! Nice to see Tampa from your perspective. Next time you’re visiting perhaps a video on St Pete? I’m sure fellow Floridians out there in the world would love it.
Love the sprinkle of you speaking Spanish and the outro btw😂 too funny
I love it too
Me too!
I was worry you were going to walk into a palm tree or a pole...lol
I am buying my uncle cigars from that place just because that dude is funny as hell
Seconded! He had the comfortable dry wit that only comes between old friends who know each others secrets :-)
I live in Tampa 2yearsnow Thank you for.sharing it is a beautiful city
Honestly you don't seem like a Florida guy at all. You have such a northern East Coast vibe.
Florida is very diverse, there really is no such thing as a “Florida guy”
@@erwina4738 go back
This is cool I just moved to Tampa for the summer and was just in ybor nice to know some of the history!

worst Cuban accent imitation I ever heard. But great video primo!
Another great video Tom, so cool that you got to interview your High-school buddies. Could you interview some of your old High-school teachers next time? Love to hear what they would have to say.
I would if I weren't legally required to stay 500ft away from them... I keed, I keed!
Great video, never knew about the area. Hope to get there and have a cigar.

love from Australia!
Another damm fine tour and packed with information... U Da Man TDNYC 👍👍👍
Funny guy. 👏 Cute chuckle too, to go with the face, etc. 😉
I grew up here also, enjoyed this very much. 👍
Tom your tours are interesting. You should do a tour of Chicago,because the city has an interesting history.
Been my city for the last 18 years 🙌🏼
Great job Tom but I was really hoping to have a tour of the Cheval Country Club.
I so enjoyed your tours of where I live now, Tampa and the areas of Ridgewood and Bushwick NY. where I lived 1st 20 years of my life... Appreciate your knowledge, demeanor and pacing.
Tom Del Bomb!!! I love Tom's videos! I keep them on in the background all day. TomDelBomb + Joolz Guides !!! Keep it up fellas.
Thank you Tom and also to your brother for the Ibor city andTampa walk lived in Tampa Bay Area for around 4 years
Yooo!! I just subbed and started watching your channel the other week and now you’re touring my future college city! Love your videos and humor :)
My grandpas dad, Manuel Garcia, was the co founder of the COLUMBIA restaurant! Very famous in that area
I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos touring NYC all day long only to find this Tampa video! Lol I’ve been living in Tampa for 18 years but I’m definitely gonna watch this Tampa tour just because your tour guide style is so funny and interesting! 🎉
I found out about Heny Plant when we visited the Belleview Inn. Gorgeous place and with lots of history. You should take us on a history tour there. 😉
YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH MY HOMETOWN, NYC. I LIVED THERE FOR 40 YEARS IN MANHATTAN AND DIDN'T KNOW HALF THE HISTORY YOU COVERED. NOW I LIVE IN TAMPA AND AM GETTING EDUCATED AS WELL. TY
I live in Tampa I haven't.seen it city of Tampa Bay area but someday I have take a Bus ride by myself
This is one of the many places I miss about Tampa. It's my Hometown too, and no matter where I go in the world, Tampa will always be home.
This was amazing! Thank you! I just moved to Tampa from Philly and really enjoyed this!❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Been hanging in Ybor for decades. Learned some things, nice job.
Love the videos! I’m from just south of Tampa in Sarasota and lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years. I lived near Coney Island and was obsessed with its history. Have you already covered Coney Island?
Ybor City used to belong to the Spanish people. Sadly that is definitely not the case anymore. Most of it is trash now.
belongs to the homeless now lol
It's where I grew up also, I moved overseas, but came back. In my 20s I lived in ybor.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY Bushwick section now been in Tampa since 2005. Love the weather here no rust on my cars anymore.
Thank you for visiting my hometown!!
Why aren't you on TV? Perfect for history or discovery channel
Ybor in the early nineties was boomin, A little dangerous but very fun
It’s the best that you’re always showing love to the immigrant story Tom! Great show!
You definitely know your shit. I love this video because I recognize every area you walk through with memories with friends , girlfriends and even drunk assholes that want to ruin everyone's time with all their ignorance lol.Thanks for the tour brother it brought back great memories and it's going to make me go this weekend. And you should get these places to sponser you. You speak well and lay out the info smooth. Take care from a Tampa fl resident.
Just a friendly camera tip. If you guys invest in a filter for your camera lens it would make it easier with those outside lighting transitions.
Please do a part 2!
good vid Tom i got the postcard you sent me with sara funk ,greetings from Liverpool
Tampa here I come!!
Would love to meet up and hang . You are so good.
Ybor City, cool little town, haven't been there in years
ybor city is très speedy, but they throw such killer parties...
There you are right across the street from my old alma mater, HCC.
Michael Jordan smokes 6 cigars a day.
Let me guess, gamebred masvidal is a hero down there
terrible the overfishing that goes on...
I predict a future video of Tom doing a tour in Havana, Cuba. Oh, Please do Tom.
You make touring videos very interesting!
nobody insight, amazing historic roads, buildings and just awesome
RIP to the Spaghetti Warehouse :/
Thanks Tom! Enjoy time with your family and enjoy the ocean!!
Love the history lesson mate. Great video, worth the subscribe!
Tampa. The "Florida" of Florida.
You kinda look like Jorge Masvidal
NICE VID tom used to live here
Im born and rased across the bay. St.Petersburg
Good job bru , from plant city fla !
Oh Em Gee, Sick video, considering it wasn't in NYC!!!
Thank ye, thank ye!
