Cairo Street Bungalow Guidebook
Food scene
We highly recommend GEORGE'S DINER! This 100 year old breakfast joint has won the heart of tourists and Springfield natives alike. Get a "recession proof" classic breakfast for just a few dollars, or enjoy a hot cup of fresh coffee. Either way, the private bungalow is within 2 blocks on this historic experience.

Panera Bread is always a great go to for a light, but still yummy meal! Luckily, we have one just right around the corner on National. This location is by far my favorite out of all of the locations in Springfield.

Neighborhoods
Jacob and I love to walk down Walnut St. on our way downtown. The homes are seriously so gorgeous and historic. Additionally, Walnut St. will hold different events (depending on the time of the year) such as Artsfest, Ciderfest, and more.

One of the best features of our home is just how close we are to the Missouri State University campus. Both Jacob and I are local alumni, and the convenience of our location was by far beneficial! If you are looking to go to a concert, check our JQH arena because there are constantly events going on throughout the year.

This recent addition to Springfield is WORTH THE SEE! We got season passes last year, just because we loved the aquarium that much. In 2018, it was voted by Time as the best new attraction in America. We highly recommend it!
