Lyncoln & Logan
Things To Do
Hike Belle Isle
Take a hike on the trails. Take a dip in the river. Take in the sights of the city. You just gotta cross that weird suspended bridge first.
Check out the Canal Walk Murals
Head down to the canal walk for a beautiful walk by the... well, the canal, obviously. At the end, you'll be treated to some cool murals from a street art festival a few years back.
Adventure on the Pipeline Trail
You gotta work for this one, but it's worth it. From this parking lot, head through the flood wall doors then down the ladder to the top of Pipeline for a great walk right on top of the James. You can keep walking the pipe all the way to Brown's Island if you feel up for it.
Mid-Day Margaritas at Casa Del Barco
Right across from the Canal Walk Murals, you'll find Casa Del Barco. The outdoor space is perfect for a mid-day Marg (Logan prefers the "Yasss Queen!")
Defect to Kuba Kuba for lunch
Right by our old apartment in the fan, Kuba Kuba is a must stop for Cuban coffee, plates of paella as big as your head and incredible Cuban sandwiches.
Get Divey at Sticky Rice
This is our favorite dive bar/sushi restaurant. Take that as you will. $1 beers when it's raining... buckets of tater tots... sushi. Go live a little.
Track down Zorch Pizza
We're making this website in November, so... they may have their brick and mortar open by the time you read this. (Side note: They DO have their brick and mortar and it's in Carytown! You'll love it.) Either way, a slice of Zorch pizza is worth finding. It's NY Style, it's great. If it wasn't so messy, they'd be catering our wedding.
Make Lyncoln Jealous at Stella's
*Reservations Recommended* Shoutout to Weining and Bridget for checking - There are no longer reservations available this weekend! If you're looking for similar food, we recommend Pinky's. Or one of the Stella's Markets for grab N go. Stella's is Lyncoln's favorite restaurant in the city. She recommends the moussaka and the lamb meatballs. If you can't get a seat or just want the vibe, there are several Stella's groceries in the city that serve up great sandwiches with Mediterranean flair.
Mekong Is For Beer Lovers
Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. Mekong has been rated Best Beer Bar in America multiple times and is one of Logan's favorite places to bring out of town guests. Don't skip the Answer Brewpub right next door either.
Catch the Sunset at Libby Hill Park
Grab a 6 pack of PBR and a blanket and head to Libby Hill for a great sunset over the city. (Drinking in public is illegal, so... be smart, friends).
Sip Richmond's Finest at The Veil
Arguably Richmond's best craft brewery if you ask beer nerds. We've never had a beer here we didn't like. Word of warning: the Triple IPAs and Stouts pack a punch.
Relax with a Pint at Triple Crossing Beer
Richmond is home to the only place in North America where three railroads cross on top of one another. But, we aren't really that into trains. We're really into this brewery though.
Have a Classy Picnic at the VMFA
The VMFA is packed with incredible art and it's entirely free to visit (save for the special exhibits). Head over, pretend you understand the deep meaning behind the art for awhile, then enjoy a picnic on the lawn out back.
Carytown
Richmond's premiere local shopping walk. Lyncoln recommends Penzey's Spices, Bev's Ice Cream and Mongrel. Logan's a fan of Garden Grove Brewing, Plan 9 and World of Mirth. Find your own favorites!
