Big Jones
2 min walk. Southern cooking done properly — heritage ingredients, buttermilk fried chicken, and shrimp & grits that transport you to the Low Country.

Swedish Bakery
3 min walk. Andersonville's Swedish heritage in pastry form. Cardamom rolls, princess cake, and Swedish cookies since 1929.

Simon's Tavern
2 min walk. A bar since 1934 — famous for glogg (Swedish mulled wine) in winter and a perfectly divey atmosphere year-round. Cheap, authentic, beloved.
