Walk too quickly down 1st Avenue South in the Grand Central District and you’d be forgiven for passing right by St Pete’s newest hub of art, culture, food, and drinks. The small blue house at 2340 1st Avenue South has no sign, no logo on the door, and limited web presence. It’s a destination to stumble upon serendipitously or seek out intentionally. However you find yourself inside, you’re in for an experience unlike any you’ve had in St Pete - or all of Florida for that matter.

In Between Days is a listening bar, a cafe with high-end audio equipment where attention to detail, quality, and intentionality are the focus. When it opens this summer, it will be Florida’s first such institution, a concept originated in Japan and popularized in places like New York, LA, and London by both music lovers and casual listeners alike. Audiophiles will delight in the pristine and perfect sound, but even those who think music isn’t “their thing” will find themselves immediately mesmerized.

Pass through the unassuming door at 442 2nd Street North in downtown St Pete and the first thing you’ll notice is the wine. Colorful bottles line the walls and the countertops, framing a glass cabinet of artisan cheeses and meats. They are stacked high and low on shelves, familiar and exotic filling every inch, labels beckoning to be read.

Oenophile (wine lover) or not, any curious person here for the first time will fall quickly in love with MUST Wine Loft and perhaps soon find themselves among the ranks of locals who return again and again for the high-quality, sustainably produced wine and food products and sense of discovery that founders Jessica Arkwright and Raymond Cotteret have so perfectly and intricately woven into the space.
