Join us at the famed Columbia Restaurant to pay tribute to Julio Rodriguez, aka the Ybor City Stogie. We'll be feasting on some of the Stogie's favorite foods in one of his favorite places, the Siboney Room. The Columbia held a special place in his heart, as it employed his father for 40 years, and served as his first job as a busboy, then bartender.
Come and go as you please from 11-3, and please bring a guest. The more, the merrier, as Julio enjoyed nothing more than a gathering of friends over excellent food and libations.
¡Viva la revolución! Stogie forever!
