Things To Do
17th Street Market
There is a small promenade just a few blocks from the hotel with some great restaurant choices. Plus all of them have patios! Our favorite for dinner is Carmela's.
Ironclad Coffee Roasters
A neighborhood favorite with great coffee drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and a patio. Tip: download the app and order ahead if you want to skip the line!
PARKS!
There are SO many great parks to visit in Richmond with views of the city or hiking trails. Here are some of our favorites: For a view of the city - Libby Hill Park For a classic Richmond walk - Brown's Island Park For a city hike - Forest Hill Park For a dip in the James River - 42nd Street & Riverside Drive
Proper Pie Co
Sweet and savory pies that CAN'T be beat. Grab a meat pie to go for a filling and delicious meal in the park, on the drive home, or at the hotel.
Breweries - Scott's Addition
Richmond is known for craft breweries and, thankfully, they're all right next to each other! Head to Scott's Addition to a DIY brewery crawl. All of the breweries have patios and plenty of space to distance. Here are our favorites: Ardent Craft Ales Starr Hill Beer Hall & Rooftop For IPAs - The Veil Brewing Co For Cider - Blue Bee Cider
Stella's Market
An offshoot of one of our favorite formal restaurants, this greek grocery has amazing to-go food, a huge selection of drinks, household items, gifts, and more. While there are 3 locations across the city we prefer the one in Scott's Addition.
Nota Bene Market
When the pandemic hit, this amazing Italian restaurant flipped to a market with delicious sandwiches, wine, to-go charcuterie, chocolate.
