Traditions Gallery - Located in the historic district

owned gallery in the city. Joyce (Cherokee Nation) offers a variety

candles, hand-made jewelry (for men, women, and children), prints
and original art, pottery, sage and other traditional herbs, stones
and crystal, zuni fetishes, and more. Closed Tuesdays. 904.808.7361

Flavors Eatery -
This place has fantastic, fresh, organic foods and creations, and
monthly $2 bottled beer specials. They even have organic beer -
gotta love that! Music on weekends and local art on the walls.
Try the Popeye Spinach pizza - oh damn, let me wipe the drool off
the keyboard now. Located at 125 King Street in downtown area -
between Loose Screws and Rembrandtz Gallery. 904.824.4221
-
Kozmic Blüz Pizza
- Giant, tasty, fresh made pizza by the slice if you so choose. So
many good things here I can't list them all! My faves are the
grilled portobello sandwich, the Greek salad, the white pizza, and
Delirium on tap!! All organic and fresh ingredients, outside
seating in courtyard, music most nights, owned by a great gal from
Tennessee - go Titans! And they just started: $10 Thirsty Thursdays
- all you can drink. Did I mention they have Delirium on tap?! And
another tasty beer called Indica - yummm - so much good stuff and so
good for you. Located at 48 Spanish Street in downtown area. Closed
Mondays and Tuesdays. 904.825.4805
-
La Herencia Café
- This is our favorite place to eat breakfast in the whole town - in
fact - they serve breakfast all day! Which is good for some of the
staff at OCC, since they often don't emerge from the covers till
after noon - still hung-over and wearing their sunglass of all
things! But Manny and Janet don't mind - this little family owned
Cuban cafe at #4 Aviles Street serves up huge fresh omelets (I'm
told they are a great hangover cure), salads (the Ab Fab Salad is
the best with avocado, feta, tomatoes, baby boiled red potatoes,
romaine... man, I'm hungry!), sandwiches, and soups. I have it on
good word from a ravenous carnivore that they have the best Cuban in
town. Bottled beers and wines - home-made fresh desserts, too. Oh!
And the best ever, fresh, home-made BASIL VINAIGRETTE in the whole
world - we want them to bottle it so we can buy it to take home -
LaDonna literally puts it on everything she eats there - except
maybe the fruit. Only open till 3ish though. 904.829.9487

LaStrada Italian
Restaurant - a nice, quiet, out of the way place for dinner or
lunch. A great couples restaurant, located out on the Island at 4075
A1A South, featuring freshly made Italian cuisine. One would think
it would be outrageously priced - it looks so elegant and inviting -
but not so. I had a fantastic meal with a salad, bread, wine, and
the main course (I had a wonderful, huge plate of fettuccini alfredo)
for $20 - and that included my tip - and I took home the rest for
lunch the next day! Nice atmosphere, lots of Italian movie
star posters, classic crooners coming from the speaker system; I thoroughly enjoyed it even though
I went by myself. Outside
seating available also and daily specials. 904.471.0081
-
Mango Mango's -
Located at the beach on the corner of A Street, this brightly
colored place has... YUCCA FRIES!! If you haven't had these before,
go there, try them, thank me later. Everything we've had on the menu
has been very tasty and delightful. Since I have only been there
after some amount of partying, I cannot remember the exact names of
the menu items, but they were tasty dammit, so I keep going back for
more. They have veg-head dishes, too. Close at 9 p.m.
904.461.1077

Present Moment Café
- Organic, vegan, raw, and delicious food. Located at 224 West King
in a gloriously renovated building - go there and know you are
getting great energy food for your body - no poisons! We want them
to stick around, so let us all eat there at least once a week (or
more!) and support this wonderful alternative to the toxins usually
saturating the foods in most places. Pad Thai noodles... sunflower
seed loaf... mmmmm... ok, I'm going there now. 904.808.0667 or
