Hot & New for October - Foxx Food Talk
Looking for somewhere new to try around Jacksonville? Gabi from Yelp Jacksonville has three fresh spots for the list. Jade Dumpling on Old St. Augustine Road in Mandarin is a new authentic Chinese spot getting attention for its dumplings and noodles — basically perfect comfort food as we head into fall. Over in San Marco, Papa’s Kitchen and Cocktails is an Italian-American scratch kitchen with a big central bar, happy hour Tuesday through Friday and live music on the weekends. Also in San Marco is The Bookseller on Hendricks Avenue , which combines a community bookstore with coffee, pastries and wine. You can browse the books, grab a coffee and get some work done, or settle in with a glass of wine — definitely one of the more unique new concepts around town. And if you’re up for a quick trip north, Yelp Jacksonville is hosting an event at Amelia’s Latin American Grill on Amelia Island on October 13 at 7 p.m. for Yelp users 21 and up. Register here!
