Food scene

This is an excellent restaurant that is very close by. They have a lovely Sunday brunch - otherwise it is a great local place to stop and have a glass of wine.

Gelato. Many different flavors of gelato. You'll need to go to the gym after this, but it's worth it.

With an ever changing menu, you can always find something good here. This is one of our go-to's. More than a dozen drafts to choose from and 6 rotating local brews on draft. Also: the cucumber martini is life changing.

This tapas joint is excellent! It's pretty new, it's the second location for this restaurant. Its super close to our house so if you wanted to go there to party, you could just walk home afterwards. There is a parking lot in the front and additional parking in the rear.

A lively place in the evening - great happy hour with live music - this is a really cool local establishment where you also can grab a quiet lunch. Great food - and for a good cause! From their website: "Positive Vibe has created an evolving model for training and employing people with disabilities in order that they enjoy the satisfactions of being gainfully employed and fully contributing members of our community."

So far, this has to be our favorite French restaurant. They have daily specials which are amazing - and if you're an early bird, they have a wonderful coffee bar with pastries 7am-11am. Grab a coffee and pastry and sit by the window and people watch - or grab & go and walk around Carytown!

Wine!

Wine tasting? About a 45 minute drive out of the city takes you to this luscious landscape. They have an outdoor summer music series - and you can get a glass of wine and wander around taking in the sights of the James River and the historic Shirley Plantation.

Beer!

This place is soooo cool. It is probably the best craft brewery in the area. It's probably too cool for me. Stop in for a flight to try - but make sure to check the hours on their website first.

If Starbucks isn't your thing - you've got to check out Lamplighter. There's a few locations in the Richmond area, but the Roast Lab is my personal favorite. It's not very big, and rarely super busy - but you can get a fancy cold brew handmade by some local hipsters. It's quintessential Richmond... like craft breweries.
