Also known as "NuLu", this area has fun shops and restaurants. Garage Bar, West Sixth Brewery, Emmy Squared, Gerties Whisky bar (speakeasy in the basement) and Five Iron Golf are just some of our favorite spots. Two of the recommended hotels with hotel blocks, Hotel Genevieve and the AC hotel, are located here! The other, 21C, is not far either! :) Click the link below for even more info/recommendations in this area.
Perfect for coffee and breakfast sandwich/pastry!
Coffee and bakery. Get a chocolate chip cookie... you will thank me later.

2025 James Beard Nominated Levantine-focused restaurant. The system automatically releases new reservations on a 60-day rolling basis around 11:00am for dinner service from Wednesdays - Sundays. We highly recommend MeeshMessh and it is also near the hotel blocks. If you want to go here, it is recommended to book exactly 60 days out.
High-end southern fare and cocktails. Reservation recommended.
We love walking the 2.4 mile loop on the weekends. It also has a public golf course for anyone interested in playing a round!
