The article cites research done by InsureMyTrip, which looked into the 99 most populated cities in the country, balancing each city’s number of cafes and bakeries, farmer’s markets available, and other features.

St. Pete scored the highest among those cities, earning an average ranking of 4.41, the study found. The article cites the city’s fresh seafood options, affordable prices for a three-course meal, and fantastic coffee as factors that led to them scoring high.
