The DDA is responsible for marketing the Downtown district and all of its neighborhoods including The Set (West Atlantic), Pineapple Grove Arts District, SOFA (South of Atlantic), Arts & Entertainment (the core of Atlantic Avenue), US1 and Beachside. All types of food and drink establishments from our cafes, juice bars, and pizza places to our casual and fine dining restaurants - encompass a significant portion (21%) of our Downtown business mix.
