Here are a few of our favorite places in the area if you have some downtime and would like to explore Richmond.
Lemaire Bar
101 West Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23220
The Lemaire bar is conveniently located in the Jefferson. It is one of our favorite places to grab a drink. They have the best espresso martini in Richmond.
Stellas Grocery - Downtown
109 East Grace Street, Richmond, VA 23219
Stella's Grocery is our favorite place for a grab-and-go meal, bottle of wine, dessert, or coffee. Stella's Grocery is walking distant from the Jefferson and is the perfect place if you want something great to eat on the go.
Belle Isle
300 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219
If we're lucky enough to get a nice day mid February and you are looking to spend time outside, we highly recommend walking around Belle Isle. To get to Belle Isle, you have to cross a bridge that is suspended from a highway overpass. Kind of freaky.
Wong Gonzalez
412 East Grace Street, Richmond, VA 23219
Walking distance from the Jefferson, Wong Gonzalez is a great place for a sit down meal. Their cuisine is Mexican/Asian fusion. The restaurant has a fun vibe (usually have a DJ on the weekends) and they make a phenomenal spicy margarita.
