Mark's is very pricey (although delicious) but their happy hour is the best in town. They offer some luxurious cocktails and small bites at a fraction of the price of the regular menu. I believe it's from 5-7 but I always call and make sure.

Absolutely delicious food, Blue Gill is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. They have a kind of modernized southern-style cuisine and a huge selection of bourbons and tequilas. They make amazing seafood that is always cooked to perfection. Very good service as well.

A little less than a 20 minute drive east, this is one of my favorite seafood restaurants. It's a local favorite. The seafood platter for 2 is the most popular menu item, beware though...it's a mountain of food and can easily feed 6.

Shopping

Ward's is a Gainesville staple. They cater to every demographic and I always find what I need there. Everything is really crammed in, it's a unique (but worthwhile) experience.

If you love antiquing, take a drive to historic downtown Micanopy. It's packed with interesting antique shops and I always find something when I go. There's a few nice lunch spots too. Places typically don't open until 10 or 11 in the morning, so don't go early!
