Food Delivery in Jacksonville: An Overview

Jacksonville

Just slightly inland off the Atlantic Ocean in north Florida, though situated along the banks of the St. Johns River, lies Jacksonville. The city is located about 40 miles north of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. An important port city, the Navy has a significant presence east of the city closer to the ocean. Interestingly, the city is host to the longest running Blues music festival in the country, Springing the Blues. Much of the economy relies on tourists who can enjoy all the attractions, nightlife, and dining options Jacksonville offers. Due to its geographic location, the culinary scene mixes inspiration from various sources such as Southern comfort, sea-food, and Hispanic cuisine.

Iconic Neighborhoods

San Marco:

Just across the St. Johns River from downtown Jacksonville lies the San Marco neighborhood. Along the San Marco Square rests a plethora of quaint boutique shops, art galleries, and many fine dining options that comprise the San Marco Dining District. Named after the famous Venetian square, this neighborhood is a hub of culture in the Jacksonville area.

Riverside & Avondale:

Though technically separate, these two neighborhoods, located southwest of downtown Jacksonville, are closely associated and often considered one single broader community. The area is mostly residential but two shopping districts, Five Points and King Street District, exist in the neighborhood. In Five Points you will find independent shops and the famous, Sun-Ray Theater, while the King Street District has recently become Jacksonville’s beer hub due to the emergence of two craft breweries and multiple bars in the last 15 years or so.
