Worth the Drive

Murray Hill, the Westside and Ortega — the places east-of-the-river people don't know they're missing.

  1. 1Fox Restaurant

    Southern · Riverside/Avondale · $$

    The anchor of the Murray Hill dining strip and the reason a lot of people east of the river ever cross Roosevelt.

  2. 2Moon River Pizza

    Pizza · Murray Hill · $

    By-the-slice pizza that built its reputation before Murray Hill was a destination, and it's still the neighborhood's front door.

  3. 3Community Loaves

    Bakeries · Murray Hill · $$

    Bakery that supplies bread to restaurants across the city, and buying it at the source is the version most people never experience.

  4. 4Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q

    Barbecue · Southside · $$

    The Westside locations of a Jacksonville institution, and the drive is shorter than the reputation of the Westside suggests.

  5. 5La Nopalera Mexican Restaurant

    Mexican · Southside · $

    The Westside locations of the local Mexican chain, and they serve a neighborhood that has few sit-down alternatives.

  6. 6Sahara Café & Bar

    Mediterranean · Southside · $$

    Middle Eastern in a part of town where that cuisine is otherwise nearly absent.
