Emma & Russell
Local to Lynchburg
Joe Bean's Express Espresso
A Lynchburg staple, known for its delicious iced lattes—our go-to pick-me-up. A must-visit for our fellow coffee lovers!
Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest
Thomas Jefferson’s personal retreat from Monticello. It’s a masterpiece of architecture and history, with beautiful walking trails to explore. As a history fanatic, Emma highly recommends a visit for a glimpse into the mind of one of America’s Founding Fathers!
La Carreta
We go here way too often, almost every date night that we crave Mexican food. Known for its quality service, amazing food, and affordable prices! Emma's go-to order: Enchiladas Mexicanas. Russell's go-to order: Burrito Chente.
Blackwater Creek Trail & Nomad Coffee Co.
A hidden LYH gem! We walk there often, enjoying the scenic route through rock formations and creek views. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll, jog, or bike ride. Plus, there’s a great coffee shop at the trailhead!
Bacon St. Bagels
Serves up warm, homemade bagels with creative spreads and hearty sandwiches. Whether you’re fueling up for the day or just craving a delicious bite, this cozy spot never disappoints However, we will warn you of the parking situation!
Ivy Creek Park
Tranquil walking trail and lake, wonderful for a stroll, picnic, kayaking, or fishing.
Aji Ramen and Sushi
In our opinion, this is the best ramen place in LYH with their giant bowls and quick service! Many of our anniversaries and birthdays were celebrated over their Spicy Miso Ramen. Perfect walking distance to many other small, local-run shops and restaurants on Main St.
Three Roads Brewing
Known for their many weekend events of live music and game nights! They offer many locally-brewed IPAs, hard ciders, seltzers, and craft beers, plus an awesome social scene.
