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.

After ascending the stairs to Hot Diggity Dogs, make a beeline to the old phone booth just left of the kitchen. Here, you place a call in hopes of being buzzed through to a Gatsby inspired speakeasy. Inside, the attention to detail is impeccable and highlighted in all areas from the 20s décor to the flapper style attire worn by the servers. The Marble Ring can only seat 80 people at a time, making it an intimate location to share secrets while sitting on the formal yet comfortable living room furniture. For an added measure of privacy, there are pull strings attached to the hearths so patrons can order when ready and not be interrupted by a server during a confidential conversation. Food can be ordered and delivered from Fancy’s on Fifth and Hot Diggity Dogs.
