St Pete – The Neon Lunchbox

It’s been a while since I featured any local spots on the blog, and I wanted to try to tuck them in among our travel and Disney content again. As someone who recently started a small business, looking around and seeing where I can support other small businesses in my community has become essential. It’s no secret that St. Pete, FL, had a rough go with back-to-back devastating hurricanes in 2024, and now is the best time to get out and support them. 

Mark and I are 80’s and 90’s kids and have a massive place for nostalgia in our hearts (obviously- look at our Disney obsession), so when we came across The Neon Lunchbox and learned their inspiring story, we had to check it out! @theneonlunchbox
