Helen's is located near Morgan's old apartment and this was a frequent late night DJ spot or brunch destination with friends!
Morgan's old apartment was directly above PBR. Great spot for yummy pizza (highly recommend "The Jam") and a wide assortment of beers.
If you're looking for an awesome work out while you're in town, obviously, we're going to recommend Title Boxing Richmond! Morgan worked at this gym since it's grand opening! Both Pancho and Morgan love boxing together and was an activity they enjoyed together early on in their relationship. ***If you end up signing up for a class, be sure to mention you know Morgan Shelly!
Daytime: Carytown is full of locally-owned businesses, cute shops, and restaurants. Great place to kill time and stroll around during the day! Night life: If you're looking for a late night dancing spot, Babes of Carytown or New York Deli are always a blast!
Pancho and Morgan's engagement photos were taken at Brown's Island. One of the couple's favorite aspects of Richmond is how outdoor-friendly the downtown area is. We recommend parking at Belle Isle Parking Lot on Tredegar Street and walking around to enjoy the views of the James River. You can cross the bridge and go for a hike or sit in the shade and just enjoy the view.
The first time Morgan brought Pancho home to Richmond to meet her family, she insisted on taking Pancho to run Buttermilk, "her trail", so he could experience a part of Richmond that was near and dear to her heart. When Morgan lived in Richmond, she ran the Buttermilk Trail a couple times a week and it is a super special place for her.
Lively Mexican restaurant located on the Richmond Canal Walk. While you're waiting for a table, we recommend taking pictures in front of the mural wall across from the restaurant. After you eat, you can walk to Brown's Island too!
Pancho and Morgan both LOVE sour beers! Luckily, the Scott's Addition area in Richmond has lots of sour beer options but The Veil is at the top of their list. If you are a beer lover, we highly recommend hopping around the Scott's Addition breweries. Also recommended: Väsen Brewing Company Buskey Cider Starr Hill Beer Hall & Rooftop
Sure the sushi is good but the late night karaoke is why Sticky Rice is making the list. If you happen to find yourself extending your stay in Richmond after the wedding, karaoke has been a Sticky event for well over 20 years on Tuesday nights!
Post-wedding when you might be hungover, we recommend brunch at The Sidewalk Cafe. Nothing fancy but a Richmond classic. Other brunch recommendations: LuLu's Millie's Diner Tarrant's Cafe Joe's Inn the Fan The Daily Kitchen & Bar Curbside Cafe Helen's Restaurant 821 Cafe LUNCH.SUPPER!
Walking distance from the Delta Hotels by Marriott Richmond Downtown is Kabana Rooftop. Great spot for happy hour and a sunset!
