Pizza Palace has pretty good pizza in that area. Bistro Aix, Taverna are higher end options. The Loop in San Marco is an old standby burgers and fries type place, though they no longer make what made them successful, chicago style pizza. V Pizza is good and has a good low key bar attached called Sidecar. They also have the best wings in town IMO, though they are not traditional hot wings, more like brick oven fired. There's a Starbucks in San Marco in case you like their coffee. There is a Hurricane's Wings nearby. There is a mexican restaurant on Hendricks Ave called La Napolera that is decent, though in a run down building. There is a famous, and IMO, overrated breakfast and lunch diner on Hendricks Ave a little south called Metro Diner. There is another semi high end place called bb's on Hendricks Ave. It's probably my favorite of the higher end restaurants in the area. There is a good burger place called M-Shack in San Marco. Good milkshakes can be had there as well. All of these are within 5 minutes of the hospital.

No problem at all. I have a daughter who spent some time in their NICU and they are top notch. My wife is now very involved in fundraising for the hospital.

It has been a while since I have been there, but there is also European Street Cafe in San Marco not too far from the hospital. You can check out their website for a full menu of the variety of food and the 200 or so beers from around the world that they have.

Only thing I'd add to Wally is that a pretty low key breakfast spot that I feel is way better than Metro Diner is Southern Grille. Still super close to will you will be at if you need something in the morning. They are also open for lunch and have a crazy menu with pretty much everything you could want on it.

Where is Southern Grille? I live a stone's throw away from San Marco and I've never heard of it. Am always looking for good breakfast spots and right now my go to is Uptown Kitchen in Springfield. |

Not sure than M-Shack location in San Pablo is permanent. It might be a food truck, and not stationary during the "winter" months at that location.
Ruth Chris' is close in case you happen to be Donald Trump. |

A police officer once drove me through the neighborhood behind gator lodge and pointed out about a dozen bullet holes in various houses.
Omni is fine. It's actually about three blocks from my office. The only other decent hotel in the area of where you are staying is the Hyatt Regency. |

They have the best grilled cheese sandwiches. Try the roasted marshmallow milk shake at M-Shack. Sugar overkill! The San Marco area is close to you. Most of the restaurants mentioned above are there. I'll add the Beach Diner and the Maple Street Biscuit Company. Both are good for breakfast. |

Good thing about Gator Lodge is it's hourly so no long-term commitments.
M-Shack shakes are yummy. Had lunch at La Nop yesterday. Chart House is good for a nice dinner. Don't forget River City Brewery. |

there isn't much to do in the down town area, as it is like a lot of the other big city down towns.
they have been trying to revitaize it, but there is still a lot of homeless around, and there is crime down there, esp. at night. I would not recommend walking alone down there after sun set. other things - there is a local place downtown known as burrito gallery that is good. there is another area known as five points that has several places that are good too, from wolfson's take the bridge east to park, and get off park and drive south. you pass a park on the left, then reach a traffic light in the intersection. next street is margaret, take left an on the left after a few blocks is the mossfire grill. on the right a bit further is a shopping center with a publix. mossfire is good, there is a sushi place in the shopping center, and other stuff in the area, and the place is more walking friendly, as long as it isn't too late (there have been a few stories of people having cars stop and people jumping out to rob them occassionally) and if you want to drive, there is the local gun gallery, where a lot of jacksonville arfcom people frequent  omni hotel to hart bridge to beach blvd east, past southside blvd, start looking for blue and white building on the right. |

If it is the adults - Jax Beach is fun - the locals call it the "corner" - go check out Ragtimes - good place to eat - good beer and they typicaly have some great bands. If you like retro disco - find out where the Boogie Freaks are playing - I promise that this be a fun night.
Not too far south is St. Augustine - all kinds of things to see and do. They even have the Alagator Farm so you can see some real gators up close and personal! LOL http://www.alligatorfarm.com/ I hope this helps, Red

Bars at the landing aren't so great. If you've got a car or can catch an Uber there's a couple nice bars down the street. Dos Gatos across from the Florida theater is nice. There's also Volstead a few blocks over.
