Also happening in Avondale: two new restaurants! 'town at 3635 St Johns Ave serves contemporary American cuisine in the heart of Avondale (two doors from our Prudential offices). The former Casablanca space has been totally renovated — the space is now one-half emly benham and one-half 'town. 'town has a great look, great staff and a beer and wine bar facing the sidewalk. Just down the street at 3951 St Johns Ave is a new Thai Restaurant which is a welcome addition.

There's always a lot happening which makes Avondale the place to be.
