A lovely, casual walk/hike that takes you right up to the Monticello gift shop. Go learn about Thomas Jefferson and his love of yellow paint, and maybe buy some overpriced chocolate coins.
The Dairy Market is a hub for some of the best food in town... with a unique setting to make the experience even cooler. Try the Pad See Ew (Sam's favorite) at I Am Thai, a Shack's Smash burger from Sizzle Shack, or ice cream from Moo Thru!
Once a 19th century textile mill, the Wool Factory in Charlottesville is now a favorite spot for locals due to its scenic riverside location and fascinating history. The Workshop, located within the complex, has Luci's favorite coffee in town!
A Charlottesville classic. I promise that they're worth the wait in line...
Do you really need more a description than the title of the restaurant? Dumplings. Yummmm.
If you want to spend a lot of money on plants and explore the beautiful, forested area near the town of Ivy, Virginia, the plant nursery where Sam worked during this past winter is a great choice. And plus, it will be early May, which means ALL the flowers!
