St. Petersburg restaurants are gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday — and it’s a great time for residents to show their support for small businesses while treating themselves. If you’re looking for turkey, sides, desserts, or just a little something festive for your meal this year, these are the local restaurants and bakers to look up.
If you’re looking for something to enjoy after the Thanksgiving meal, or to fuel your Small Business Saturday shopping, consider ordering local roast from Kahwa Coffee.
