A few recommendations:

Restaurants

The brand new (as of June 2019) String Sports Brewery is directly across the street from you. Their food is AMAZING and they brew their own beer on site. This is a gem/pride of the neighborhood and I'm sure you will love its mouth-watering dishes just as much as we do!!!

Crispy’s is a half block away and famous for delicious pizza and great pub food in general

Wafaa and Mike’s Cafe is 2-3 blocks to the south and known for delicious Mediterranean food

Uptown Kitchen and Bar is ~5 blocks to the south and perfect for delicious breakfast lunch and dinner - one of the most popular traditional

Tommy’s is approximately a half mile to the southeast and is known for Springfield’s famous $3 breakfast in a cup

Sweet Pete’s (as featured on MSNBC's "The Profit") is about 3/4 mile to the southwest for delectable brunch and sinfully delicious sweets; Pete also happens to be a historic Springfield resident so you may very well see him and his family walking their dog around the neighborhood

Coffee

Social Grounds coffee shop for the best (not joking - seriously amazing) locally roasted coffee in Jax

Drinks

String Sports Brewery - craft brewery directly across the street from you

Hyperion - craft brewery that is 1/2 block away

6th and Main - craft brewery that is 2 blocks away

Crispy's - fully stocked bar with lots of TVs for sports events, dart boards, and an upstairs area great for larger groups that is half a block away

Uptown Kitchen and Bar - fully stocked bar with TVs that are usually playing sports games that is a few blocks away on Main St

Getting Around:
Springfield is a great neighborhood for walking and biking!

Jacksonville's Skyway, with limited service around the Urban Core area is a half mile to the south and is co-located with Jacksonville's central bus station.

Ride sharing services are also great options as well and driving is preferable for areas well outside of central Jax (St Augustine, Brunswick, Gainesville, etc.)
