The Naps thread got me thinking of places that made it Gainesville growing up... would love to hear others places.

There are the classics near campus like Leo's 706 or Leos by the slice... or Burrito Brothers

Nero (34th street near a schitty VHS rental place)
Murphy's Pub (34th Street)
Jamician Spice (University) best bread
Ashley's Pub
Hogan's Hero's (13th Street)
Skeeters (13th Street)

I'm sure I'll think of more...
