Avondale, Woodlawn & Crestwood

The Avondale, Woodlawn, and Crestwood neighborhoods are so close to the city center, you can almost reach out and touch it. And yet they feel like a world away. There’s a laid-back vibe to these sister 'hoods that sets them apart — the perfect blend of urb and suburb. Some mark them as ground zero for the Magic City’s recent renaissance, and much of what’s going on here frequently lands Birmingham on the national stage. Jam-packed with great places to grab a bite or a beer, catch a gig by local and national touring bands, and shop! New and used vinyl, funky antiques and furniture, vintage clothes, art and objets d’art can all be found a hop, skip, or five-minute car ride away. Slowing down more your speed? There’s family-friendly parks a plenty, coffee shops, and even a speakeasy-style bar to wet your whistle.

Housed in Avondale's former post office, Post Office Pies, like the building’s previous tenants, really know how to deliver the goods. A collaboration between Saw’s Soul Kitchen owners Mike Wilson and Brandon Cain and expert chef John Hall (who cut his teeth at New York City icons Gramercy Tavern, Per Se, and Momofuku, all while running a covert late-night pizza-delivery service out of his tiny Cobble Hill apartment), Post Office Pies is the perfect combination of mouth-watering, hand-tossed pizzas with locally sourced ingredients and cooked to perfection in wood-fired brick ovens, unique, savory salads, and a bar stocked with Avondale Brewing Co. brews, booze, and craft sodas. Named among the 33 Best Pizza Shops in America for three years running by Thrillist, POP’s industrial, casual, long-tabled space is a must-try lunch or dinner spot for students, families, and nightlife crowds alike. Try their famous Swine Pie (tomato sauce, house-made pork sausage, pepperoni, Nueske's bacon, stringy mozzarella, and fresh basil) and wash it all down with one of their signature crafted beer cocktails like the popular King’s Spring (a blend of Avondale Peach Saison with blueberry simple syrup, lemonade, basil and a splash of lemon).
