Experience the charm, creativity, and community spirit that make Downtown New Port Richey a hidden gem on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

If you’ve got a day to explore, here’s how to make the most of it.

☀️ Morning: Coffee, River Views & Local Shops

Start your morning at Mountaineer Coffee, a beloved local roaster serving exceptional espresso drinks and fresh-baked homemade pop-tarts. Then, take a peaceful stroll through Sims Park, where you can enjoy riverfront views, shady walking paths, and the gentle flow of the Cotee River.

Afterward, explore Main Street and Grand Boulevard, home to locally owned boutiques and artisan shops. From handcrafted gifts to vintage finds, there’s always something unique waiting to be discovered.

🌞 Afternoon: Lunch & Leisure

Grab lunch at one of the many local restaurants downtown — whether you’re in the mood for sushi, tacos, or a casual sandwich spot, you’ll find plenty of flavor steps away from the park.

If you love history, stop by the beautifully restored Hacienda Hotel for a photo or a peek at its Spanish-style architecture, a true local landmark since the 1920s.

🌆 Evening: Dinner, Music & Community

As the sun sets, head to The Estuary on Grand Boulevard for dinner under the street lights — a perfect ending to a day downtown. Enjoy great food, friendly faces, and a lively atmosphere surrounded by the heart of the city.

If your visit lines up with one of our signature events — like the NPR Fourth Friday Block Party, the Art on Main: Chalk & Art Festival, or the Downtown Dine Out restaurant week — you’ll see downtown come alive with art, music, and community energy.
