The Hall on Franklin is set to change the food landscape in Tampa. Primed to be the proverbial measuring stick for all businesses follow in Tampa Heights, The Hall on Franklin slowly inches closer to an official summer opening.
A coffee bar, co-work space, poké bowls, craft cocktails and more will perfume the air along the yellow brick row on Franklin Street. To both remedy our budding curiosity and excite our taste buds, The Melt Shoppe offered a look at its menu.
