Things To Do
Little Nickel
casual polynesian/tiki restaurant - perfect lunch spot. incredible coconut shrimp roll and largest salads known to man. real pros get two slices of the coconut cream pie - one for now and one to take for later.
Lillian
relaxed-but-upscale raw bar with great wine list. daily selection of oysters is never a miss.
Sabai Thai Restaurant
excellent cocktails & transcendent pad see ew. if you're lucky, you'll get to sit on the swings in the back.
Kismet Modern Indian RVA
really really special food and consistently incredible service - lots of things you've never seen on an indian menu before and they're all delicious.
James River Park - The Wetlands
absolutely gorgeous year-round but the fall foliage will be perfect in october. come sit by the water, watch the birds, enjoy a meditative sense of peace amidst all the partying - you're gonna love it.
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
if the kehinde wiley sculpture outside isn't enough of a clue, this place is absolutely teeming with incredible art, both trendy and less lauded, and you should check it out if you have time.
