Things To Do
ZZQ Texas Craft Barbeque
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond! We recommend getting there early (it's a favorite of pretty much everyone else in RVA too)
Hobnob
They have really great lunch options!
Millie's Diner
A nice brunch place! This was actually the first place we ate at in Richmond when deciding to move up here.
Liberty Public House
A great spot for burgers and drinks!
Proper Pie Co.
This is arguably Alex's favorite place in the city. Their sweet and savory pies are AMAZING!!
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
One of our favorite free activities in the city! There are so many different types of art, you could spend hours there and not see it all.
The Poe Museum
A must do for any literary or history fans. The museum has really cool artifacts from Poe's childhood in Richmond.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
A massive garden outside of Richmond - the gardens are beautiful in the spring!
Hotel Greene
This is a mini golf course inside an old hotel. It is so much fun and they have a brunch option on the weekends before you golf. Be sure to make reservations in advance!
Short Pump Town Center
Short Pump is a little northwest of the city, but it has a really nice mall and lots of other shopping options.
Historic St. John's Church
Visit the site of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. You can take tours of the church and grounds, and starting Memorial Day weekend, they offer tickets for a reenactment on Sundays (Ashley would HIGHLY recommend, as her 5th grade hero was Patrick Henry himself).
