Gabrielle & Bryton
Things To Do
Canal Walk
Bryton and I enjoyed this 1.25 mile walking trail along the canal on one of our first trips to Richmond. You can guide yourself by entering the sign-posted trail at any point, or book one of the many tours or canal boat cruises online or on-site.
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
We visited this museum on our first trip to Richmond, before Bryton dropped me off at MSS for a trip back to New York. I especially enjoyed the Faberge collection! Free for active-duty military and up to five family members.
Hotel Greene
Despite the name, Hotel Greene is not actually a hotel. Rather, it's a restaurant & indoor mini-golf spot. The different rooms in the "hotel" have been turned into holes in an innovative golf course. Bryton brought us here for a surprise date after picking me up from the airport. We really enjoyed the mimosas at brunch and the themed course. Bryton kicked my butt, in case you were wondering.
Maymont
We really enjoyed strolling the grounds and checking out the animals featured in the native wildlife habitats. We haven't made time for a tour of the house, but all the buildings are beautiful from the outside.
Secret Sandwich Society
You have to try the Kickback Mule -- it's out of this world! We are also huge fans of the pimento cheese fries. This place is awesome! Service is fast and very friendly. Super open to dietary restrictions— menu is full of DF, GF, V and VEG labels, which are really helpful. We give two thumbs up for the Washington and the Buddha. Sandwiches are HUGE so come hungry.
