The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is located in historic Riverside of Jacksonville, FL. The Cummer Museum overlooks 2.5 acres of historic gardens and is situated on the banks of the St. Johns River.
The Riverside Arts Market takes place from 10am - 3pm every Saturday. Every week the vendors are different and range from art, photography, jewelry, produce and packaged foods, books, and beauty products. There will also be an assortment of food trucks and other food and beverage vendors.
Bordering the St. Johns River, this 1 1/4-mile concrete boardwalk is a great place for watching the riverboats, the shorebirds, and downtown's skyline reflected in the water.
Jacksonville has a great zoo! Be sure to check out the beloved Jaguars!
Avondale has a great main street with great shopping and food options.
Check out the lion statue and go for a stroll in San Marco. San Marco Boulevard is full of great shopping and local favorites for a good bite.
Intuition Ale Works is a great local brewery near the Jaguars stadium with a great rooftop. Stop in for a beer and a bite.
River & Post has a great food menu as well as a rooftop deck with a sweeping view of downtown.
The Chophouse is a great place for a drink and another rooftop view, conveniently located near the hotels downtown. Reservation recommended for the dining room and the rooftop is first come, first serve for parties of up to six.
Great local BBQ with a very casual setting. Good for a big group and outdoor seating.
I highly recommend the Paolo Pizza! V Pizza is beer and wine only, but Sidecar is conveniently attached with a full drink menu.
Great bar with a speakeasy in the back. Interesting cocktails and bottles. Check the events list for the speakeasy: https://www.grapeandgrainexchange.com/calendar
