During your Jacksonville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum
From 1921 to 1971, the Ritz Theatre was the center of cultural life in LaVilla, an African-American neighborhood so vibrant that it was known as the Harlem of the South. Many entertainers played the Ritz before moving on to the Apollo Theater in the real Harlem. Most of LaVilla's small, clapboard "shotgun" houses (so called because you could fire a shotgun through the central hallway to the back room and not hit anything) have been torn down in anticipation of urban renewal, but the Ritz has been rebuilt and is once again a center of the city's cultural life. Only the northwest corner of the building, including the Ritz sign, is original, but the new 426-seat theater captures the spirit of vaudevillian times. Off the lobby, LaVilla Museum recounts local African-American history and exhibits the works of black artists.

Jacksonville Landing
Resembling New York City's South Street Seaport, Boston's Faneuil Hall, Miami's Bayside, and Baltimore's Inner Harbor, this glass-and-steel complex on the north bank of the river serves as the focus of downtown activity. Yeah, you may see a mime or two occasionally, and there's a Hooters, a Ruby Tuesday, and a Starbucks, but there's also amazing local live music, good non-chain sushi, and Thai and Mexican restaurants. Unlike those in other cities, this complex is not just for tourists -- it's command central for many locals looking for a lively day or night out. There are more than 65 stores here, but shopping is secondary to the dining and entertainment. You can choose from a half-dozen full-service restaurants, plus an inexpensive food court with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the river. The Landing is the scene of numerous special events, ranging from arts festivals to baseball-card shows, plus outdoor rock, blues, country, and jazz concerts on weekends. Call or check the website to find out what's going on during your stay.

Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Another city, another zoo. But this isn't just any zoo. Located between downtown and the airport, this environmentally sensitive zoo is well on its way to becoming one of the Southeast's best. While the zoo's Wild Florida area presents local fauna -- including black bears, red wolves, Florida panthers, and alligators -- the main exhibits feature an extensive and growing collection of lions, rhinos, elephants, antelopes, cheetahs, western lowland gorillas, and other African wildlife. You'll enter the 73-acre park through an authentic thatched roof built in 1995 by 24 Zulu craftsmen. Whether you go on foot or by tram, allow at least 3 hours to tour this vast zoo. Upon your arrival, ask about current animal shows and special events. Strollers and wheelchairs are available for rent. The newest attraction, Range of the Jaguar, opened in 2004 to the tune of $15.4 million. The exhibit focuses on a neotropical rainforest setting that can be found in Central or South America. Although this attraction spotlights the jaguar, you will also see other animals such as golden lion tamarins, tapirs, capybaras, giant river otters, anteaters, and a variety of bird, amphibian, fish, and reptile species including the anaconda.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Jacksonville area, including:

Sea Turtle Inn
Completely gutted and restored in 1999 and 2000, this elegant, eight-story beachfront hotel (whose exterior facade could use some updating to match the lovely interior) is much more upscale than the Sea Horse Oceanfront Inn, which it faces across Atlantic Boulevard. (Despite their shouting-distance proximity, one technically is in Atlantic Beach, the other in Neptune Beach.) The guest units are spacious except for their somewhat cramped bathrooms. The best units, few in number, face the beach and have balconies. Plantains Restaurant is a fine spot for an alfresco beachside meal; it offers live music on weekends. There's also a lounge in the restaurant and a summertime Tiki bar beside the pool by the beach.

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club
This luxurious 300-acre country club and spa is a great place to pamper yourself between rounds of golf or games of tennis. The inn is ultra-elegant from the moment you drive up to its manicured front lawn, which doubles as a putting green. The gorgeous spa offers oceanview massage, herbal and seaweed wraps, facials, hydrotherapy, and much more. A new three-story building in front of the original 1937 clubhouse contains an expansive lobby downstairs and spacious, upscale guest rooms upstairs. Across the road, the condominiums are located in two-story buildings along the beach. All have furnished patios or balconies and are individually decorated; some have four-poster or sleigh beds. The larger units have full kitchens, and microwaves and small fridges are available upon request. In addition to the inn's two 18-hole golf courses, its excellent tennis center, and its fully equipped gym with six-lane Olympic pool, guests can use the three beachside pools and other facilities at the nearby Lodge & Club at Ponte Vedra Beach . The Island House, a lodging favorite of guests since it was originally built in 1972, was razed in order to make way for a new and modern version: This Island House (opened in 2003) has 28 luxurious rooms and suites, all overlooking the famous Island 9th golf hole and blue lagoons. Note: There is a nightly gratuity charge of $12 per double room for the bellman, doorman, chambermaid, and valet-parking staff, so don't double tip.Facilities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; indoor pool; golf courses; tennis courts; health club and spa; watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; children's programs (summer only); concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; coin-op washers and dryers.

The House on Cherry Street
This colonial-style wood-frame house, on the St. Johns River in the Riverside neighborhood, is ideal for a romantic vacation. French doors open onto a delightful screened-in porch furnished with rocking chairs; it overlooks an expanse of tree-shaded lawn (where guests play croquet) leading to the river (where they play with kayaks and canoes). You might go for the Rose Room or the Duck Room, each with canopied four-poster bed and river view. Ducks are rather a theme here, with hundreds of antique decoys on display. All units offer adjacent sitting rooms, private bathrooms, ceiling fans, and fresh flowers. No smoking is permitted inside. This place gets booked up fast, so make reservations as early as possible.
