Hey, I'm going to BelleCON in Jacksonville in early May, and was wondering what sort of things people would recommend to do in Jacksonville that might be nearby the hotel. I think it's going to be in the Riverwalk area south of the St. John River. Sorry, I've never been to Jacksonville before!!

There's not a whole lotta touristy stuff to do in Downtown Jax (or the "southbank" where you're staying) There are a few decent museums and a nice riverwalk but nothing terribly special. If you're really limited to this geographic location then I would check out San Marco (the neighborhood directly south of where you're staying) particularly San Marco Square. Or try to find a way to get to Riverside, which is only about 5 minutes drive from the southbank. Lots of cool shops, restaurants and nightlife.

In downtown itself my favorite places are Underbelly and Dos Gatos, although there are plenty of other cool nightlife options. And keep in mind when I talk about nightlife I'm referring to the weekends. If you're here Sun-Wed then you can forget about that.
