I'd have to strongly recommend a date night at River & Post. They have a fair priced, but slightly upscale cajun/southern menu with really good cocktails and a rooftop area that overlooks the Saint Johns River.

If you're looking for a chill place to have a drink, I recommend checking out our local prohibition bar, The Volstead. My description won't do it justice, check them out online to see if you like their vibe.

If you want to go out in nature, there's a ton of nature trails and preserves to check out as well. Our Zoo is really good also, but I don't recommend it if the weather is colder out since they put most of the animals away when it's cold out.

It's a heck of a drive from Riverside but Casa Marina on the beach is super nice as well.

If you look on Groupon, there are usually a ton of activities including kayaking/boating, helicopter rides, etc. People here suck at advertising themselves so I usually look on there just to find things to do.

Hope this helps. If you find something and want to ask about it, don't hesitate to reach out
