PLACES I LIKE TO EAT

macbeth25 · July 28, 2009, 12:13:46 PM

By the way, if you visit any of the restaurants and other places mentioned here or on other threads because you found them on Metrojacksonville.com, you might mention to that manager that you saw them listed here. Make sure, too, they know how to find us (http://www.metrojacksonville.com/). We might get more input, if you'd like that, that way. Maybe we could make up some sort of card and put it on the site so we can copy it -- I'll leave that to those of you who know more about this sort of thing. Eventually we might want to carry advertising and it wouldn't hurt for businesses to know we're here.

Where is Thai Garden? The southside/baymeadows intersection has 3 or 4 that are pretty good (Lemongrass, Pattaya Thai, and 5th element (never been there, but looks busy)). Thanks for the heads up about Harp's, it's one of my favorites.

Thai Garden is in Orange Park on the right hand side of Blanding headed south just before the mall.

Actually, Ock, I think you missed the one category where Krystal does claim top prize. LATE NIGHT!! After FL/GA every year for about half a decade my friends and I get about 6 sackfuls and recount the Gator victory. Ohhh Memories.....

So far, since moving here, I've tried a few places. I really like the Cool Moose Cafe, Blue Bamboo, and La Nopalera (love the happy hour). I tried Steak n Shake for the first time ever last night and I liked it too. Not a big fan of European Street Cafe. The Grape was fun but expensive for eating. Sumo Sushi - by far my favorite!!!!! I also went to Yummy Sushi and it was pretty good. Nice presentation. I want to try Seven Bridges and Fontana as well as the brunch at The Crabcake Factory. Oh and how could I forget The Fox is the best for breakfast!

Billy, If you remember the drive-in across from Bishop Kenny and Assumption you are indeed growing old! Cruising through with WAPE-AM blasting on the radio; round and round looking for friends and showing off, dressed in pink and black. yow!

billy · September 13, 2009, 05:45:15 PM

Please, we're not talking Happy Days, more like Dazed and Confused era.......
