New Port Richey, Florida

Pasco County · 258 restaurants

New Port Richey's Sims Park and historic downtown sit along the Pithlachascotee River, where restored buildings from the city's Jazz Age heyday — when silent-film star Gregory Peck's father worked as a pharmacist here — now house restaurants and bars. The city's 250+ restaurants serve a Pasco County population weighted heavily toward retirees drawn by the area's affordability relative to Tampa. A revitalization push downtown has brought new restaurants and events to a waterfront district that had spent decades overshadowed by nearby New Tampa growth.
