What to Do in Avondale, Jacksonville
Between Riverside, Avondale and Murray Hill, there are endless ways to spend your time. Those three historic neighborhoods truly focus on community, therefore they have created so many different retail spots to enjoy whether you live there or are just passing through. Here are Dr. Zoe’s favorite spots to check out in the Avondale neighborhood:
Josephine
The espresso martinis from Josephine are famous for a reason. They use real espresso from the flamingo to create these delicious cocktails, which isn’t always easy to find. They have a really good happy hour menu as well. Known for their Italian food, it’s a must-stop if you are in the Avondale neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida.
2. Steady Coffee Co.
Located just over the Fishweir creek, this new coffee staple is the best around. Not only is their coffee great, but their matcha latte is phenomenal. Their owners, Jackson and Emily, are so personable and truly make every customer feel welcome. I can’t recommend it enough.
3. Boone Park
A staple to the Avondale area, this park serves as a great break from the city life. Approximately 1 mile long, this park includes many local trees that provide some much-needed shade on your Hot Girl Walk. There are even recreational tennis and pickleball courts to play with your friends - no reservation needed! For the little ones, there are 2 different playgrounds to run around on and provide endless entertainment. For the four-legged friends, there are tiny water bowls provided at the water fountains and plenty of enrichment opportunities. After visiting Boone Park, make sure to make an appointment at Balance Chiropractic & Wellness Co. to get your dog’s nervous system checked! ;)
4. Iguana on Park
While the Saint Johns Ave strip of Avondale is tempting, you can’t miss this incredible American taco place. Their Taco Tuesday deal can’t be beat - with $2 off every taco all day on Tuesdays, what’s not to love? Dr. Zoe recommends trying their Baja Fish or Steak Taco.
5. Yoga Den Avondale
Yoga Den is a staple around Jax for a reason. This location truly knows how to build community around Avondale. Between community events and multiple classes offered every day, there are plenty of opportunities to give it a shot. Plus, they have a new patient special of 5 classes for $50! What a steal!
