Head to the King Street District with a group of friends. You can hit one of the whiskey bars, go dancing at one of the clubs, watch a game while sipping a pint of beer, or grab a slice of pizza at one of the locally owned eateries. If you’re looking for a slower pace, head to Memorial Park where you can enjoy a quiet stroll with moonlit views of the St. Johns River.

Grab a hookah from the neighborhood shisha bar, and enjoy the quiet conversation under sunny skies with a good friend.
