The best bagel in the world! Perfect for when you need a quick bite on the run. Mena’s recommended order: BLT with avocado, mayo, sprouts on an everything bagel (pickle on the side!) Kristian’s recommended order: Bacon, egg & cheese (cheddar) on an everything bagel (don’t forget their delicious chocolate milk!)
One of Kristian and Mena’s families favorite Italian restaurants.

A unique and fun vineyard in a glass green house!
A fun bar on the corner at UVA. Expect lots of UVA students who have recently completed their finals. If you choose to go here, ask Mena and Kristian about their secret speciality drink to order!
