and click on search nearby then enter restaurants, bars, pizza, etc you will get locations. You will likely have to go to a couple of different pages (scroll to the bottom of the list on the left and go to the next page) to get all of them. I have yet to figure out a way to ask it for locations on a specific street so it ends up being a shotgun approach.

You can zoom in on Court Avenue. Look South and east of the green arrow (right and down). The busiest area on Court (I think) is just west (left) of the river. There are restaurants, bars, etc on the north/south streets also as well as others farther east and west of that area.

Most that are noted will have links to their sites or information about them.
