Fondren

Fondren is the neighborhood in Jackson where Duling Hall and the Homewood Suites (where there's a room block) are located. It's a cool, funky area where there's fun stuff to do (including the Capri theater, Highball Lanes bowling alley, art galleries and music stores) and good things to eat (including Pig & Pint BBQ, Walker's, Saltine, Zundo [ramen], and Amerigo). Very walkable from the hotel!

Belhaven

This charming neighborhood has history (Eudora Welty's House and Garden) and cute houses, but more importantly, great things to eat and drink! The Belhaven Town Center has Fertile Ground Beer Co., Polito's Osteria (Sabrina's favorite Italian), the James Beard-nominated Elvie's, and Alex's favorite Mayday Ice Cream. He recommends Parent Trap (peanut butter ice cream and Oreo) while Sabrina thinks their Cookie Crush is the best cookies and cream ice cream she's ever had. La Cazuela is the Mexican restuarant they frequent all too often since it's at the end of their street. It's to the point where the wait staff get their Jumbo Texas Margaritas ready without them having to order, and we recommend those to you too! If you're feeling like a lil' kick with your meal, Sabrina swears by their house-made habanero hot sauce. Sounds spicier than it really is :)
