点评:There have been piers of one shape or another jutting out from St. Petersburg's shoreline into Tampa Bay since 1854. But nothing like the current St. Petersburg Pier, officially known as the St. Pete Pier. Old-timers remember the Million Dollar Pier, which stood from 1926 to 1967 and extended 1,452 feet into the bay. And the Inverted Pyramid Pier, which opened in 1973 and closed in 2013. Enter St. Pete Pier. Opened in 2020, the 26-acre property features five restaurants, a games arcade, a playground, artwork, an environmental center and plenty of parking. A popular gathering place for visitors is Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grille, a 10,000-square-foot restaurant/bar that features Caribbean cuisine. Start with Yucatan shrimp or Grouper Sandwich or Campeche Fish Tacos or hand-rolled Taquitos or Caribbean Jerk Tostados. Wash it all down with Old Havana Rum Punch, Blind Pass Mai Tai, Toasted Banana Bay Breeze or Doc's Yucatan Bloody Mary. For dessert, choose home-made key lime pie or banana bread pudding.
翻译:自1854年起,就有各种形状的码头从圣彼得堡的海岸线延伸至坦帕湾。不过,再也没有出现过像如今的“圣彼得堡码头”——正式名称为St. Pete Pier这样的设施。老一辈人还记得那座“百万美元码头”,它建于1926年,一直使用到1967年,全长达1,452英尺。还有建于1973年、于2013年关闭的“倒金字塔码头”。如今,St. Pete Pier应运而生。这座占地26英亩的码头于2020年开放,内设五家餐厅以及一个游戏厅。这里有一个游乐场、艺术作品展示区、环保中心以及充足的停车位。备受游客青睐的聚会场所便是Doc Ford’s Rum Bar and Grille——这家餐厅/酒吧占地10,000平方英尺,主打加勒比风味美食。可以先品尝尤卡坦虾、石斑鱼三明治、坎佩切鱼肉玉米卷、手工制作的塔基托斯,或是加勒比风味的辣味托斯塔多。之后可以搭配老哈瓦那朗姆酒潘趣酒、Blind Pass Mai Tai、烤香蕉海风鸡尾酒,或是Doc’s尤卡坦血腥玛丽来享用。至于甜点……可以选择自制的酸橘派或香蕉面包布丁。
