Troiani’s 1. St. Andrew’s Episcopal School (4120 Old Canton Road, 601.987.9300) - I started St. Andrew’s in Pre-K at 4 years old, so it has played a major role in shaping who I am.
2. Fondren - The Fondren and Woodland Hills area is most definitely my favorite in Jackson. From the beautiful older homes to Fondren Corner, the neighborhood is a great place to live and hang out. 3. Sakura Bana (4800 N. Highway 55, 601.982.3035) - I’ve been going to Sakura Bana since I was a kid, when it was called Little Tokyo. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of Tom San behind the sushi bar greeting me! 4. Highland Village (4500 Interstate 55 N., 601.982.5861) - What’s not to love about Highland Village? From great stores to restaurants, it has everything you could need. Plus, I love the fundraisers hosted there, such as Blues by Starlight and Taste of Mississippi. 5. The Art Garden at the Museum of Art (380 S. Lamar St., 601.960.1515) - The Art Garden is one of my favorite places to go after work. Events like the High Note Jam Concert Series are a nice way to unwind after a long day!
6. Ole Tavern on George Street (416 George St., 601.960.2700) - From karaoke on Wednesday to the live shows upstairs, I always have a great time with friends at George Street. 7. Downtown Jackson - Downtown has really come alive in the past few years. Be sure to stop by Parlor Market (115 W. Capitol St., 601.360.0090) to grab a Prohibition cocktail. 8. The Mayflower Café (123 W. Capitol St., 601.355.4122) - My favorite thing in the world is to go to the Mayflower Café with my grandmother and eat redfish. 9. Mississippi State Fair - I feel like a child again when the fair rolls around. There’s just something special about walking around with chicken-on-a-stick and a funnel cake, or going down the big yellow slide.

10. The USA International Ballet Competition (usaibc.com) - How lucky are we? Every four years, the ballet competition comes to town. If you can, host a ballet dancer—it’s a great way to meet someone new and show them how great Jackson is! 82
