Close To My Place
If you don’t feel like venturing out into Gainesville you are still covered. My place is close to several good restaurants! Here are just a few of my favorites. Butler Plaza is only 2 miles from my place and has too many options to list here -
Super Close and Fun! I like the chicken parm w/brussels but no matter what you order save room for a Pazookie. Just take my word for it!
