Walking Pipeline
I can’t wait to enjoy watching the river roll and reading the graffiti as I walk across the pipeline once it opens back up.
Church Hill Ghost Tour
Halloween is so much more fun when you can hear some fantastic ghost stories about your own city. The Church Hill Chillers Ghost Tour takes you all around the beautiful historic neighborhood retelling spooky stories and actual historical events that took place in RVA.
Hollywood Cemetery
Hollywood Cemetery a beautiful historic cemetery. You do not need to be visiting a loved one there to find peace and tranquility in its beauty. The view of the James River is spectacular. Whether it’s for a tour, a picnic, or just a walk through the area, it is absolutely worth an afternoon of your time.
Blue Bee Cider
The cider is fantastic but the atmosphere is absolutely lovely! Their staff is very friendly and knowledgable. I recommend doing a flight so you can taste all of their delicious ciders!
Shopping In Carytown
It’s always such a pleasure to go shopping in Carytown (even if it’s just window shopping). So many uniques shops for clothing, gifts, and treats.
Walking with the undead at the Richmond Zombie Walk
THE best annual tradition here in Richmond to kick off the Fall holiday season. Get dressed up as the undead to walk the streets of Carytown or grab a patio spot with a drink at one of the restaurants along the route. Either way, it’s a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in October.
Pinball at The Circuit Arcade Bar!
I’m sure there’s a beer (or 5) with my name on it as I squat on a pinball machine all night long! It’s either that or I visit my arcade nemesis, Dig Dug, for a few rounds. 😉
Maymont
I know their beautiful outdoor spaces are currently open but I cannot wait to feed the farm animals and check out the otters at the Robins Nature Center.
Drinks and Friends at Fuzzy Cactus
Fuzzy has the best atmosphere and the most unique cocktails for a fun night with friends. I can’t wait to see more of their fantastic shows and eat a tofu biscuit!
Music at Scuffletown Park
Hanging out at Scuffletown Park is great and it’s made even better by the occasional acoustic set from local Richmond bands.
Veal Scallopini at Bacchus
You can’t go wrong with anything at Bacchus, but the veal scallopini is my personal favorite.
Margaritas on En Su Boca’s Patio
Big statement, but En Su Boca might just have the best margaritas in Richmond and you can’t beat drinking one on their patio in the summer.
Concerts at The National
I adore this venue! Beautiful space, superb sound and fantastic shows. What was your last show at The National?
Superskee at Slingshot
Skee ball is the only arcade game I ever really liked as a a kid. Now I can play Superskee at Slingshot and I feel like a kid again…who drinks beer from one of their many taps.
Classified Moto
Wanna spend your social distancing on a one of a kind motorcycle? Hit up John Ryland at Classified Moto (you know, the one that built the Walking Dead bike). His motorcycles are a work of Art!
Nomad Studio Hair Salon
I know we are all suffering from horrible regrowth and unmanageable bangs. I cannot wait to get back to Sara Pecora at Nomad Studio and have her do some magic on my hair!
Monument Avenue at Christmas
Love driving down Monument Avenue at Christmas
Mini-Golf at Hotel Greene
Mini-Golf at the very Wes Anderson-like Hotel Greene is so much fun. My friend and I share some fun cocktails before (and sometimes during) our game. The atmosphere is so quirky and cool. It’ll be one of my first visits when social distancing is over!
Walking Potterfield Bridge
The view from the bridge is magical. The history, the sights, the sounds, the colors… give a perspective of Richmond that you don’t see anywhere else.
Richmond Metro Zoo
The Richmond Metro Zoo has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years. My favorite thing to do is throw the veggie pellets over to the orangutan who will indicate with his hand when he wants you to throw more.
CKO Kickboxing
Social distancing is making me soooo fat! I cannot wait to get back to me regular kickboxing classes at CKO for fitness and stress relief. The trainers are amazing and every workout allows you to work at your own level.
Massage at Glow Med Spa
Cannot wait for a massage from Biff Collins at Glow Med Spa! This social distancing is murder on my back!
The Mill on MacArthur
Burger night. Pasta night. Brunch. I’ll take ‘em all. With a side of mac n cheese. I miss everything about this place. The staff, the friendly vibe, the bacon bloody marys…everything!
Spaghetti A La Joe
What’s there to say? There is nothing like it! We always go to Joe’s Inn with the intention of just getting drinks after work. This inevitably leads to food. And despite everything on their menu being fantastic, somebody BETTER order Spaghetti a la Joe!
Drinks @ Penny Lane
Penny Lane is our tradition when friends are in town for a visit. On nice nights, the patio is the perfect setting for a lovely reunion with friends. We’ve done this for so long, now previous get-togethers at Penny Lane are the topic of discussion of fond memories.
