Things To Do

Fine Creek Brewing Company

Scott's Addition Historic District

Scott's Addition is a district in the City of Richmond with a fun collection of breweries, cideries, restaurants, and barcades. It is home to some of our favorite places including the Veil, Starr Hill, Circuit, Peter Chang, and Gelati Celesti. Also located in Scott's Addition is Ardent, one of our all-time favorite breweries and the location of our first date :)

The Fancy Biscuit

We love biscuits. Period. In fact, southern biscuits may be one of the things that sold John on Richmond. Fancy Biscuit is a great place to find some of the best warm, flaky goodness the city has to offer.

Perly's

Perly's is one of our all-time favorite brunch places. A Jewish Deli with unique and traditional brunch options, this place is always busy on weekend mornings. They don't take reservations, but it is worth the wait.

Belle Isle

Belle Isle is one of Teaka's (and our!) favorite spots in the city. At the heart of the James River Park System, Belle Isle is accessed by a super cool pedestrian suspension bridge under the Lee Bridge. It is a great place for strolling, biking, and learning about the fascinating history of the site.

Browns Island & the Potterfield Bridge

Hobnob

Come visit the Northside of Richmond and stop by Hobnob, a cozy neighborhood restaurant that's great for lunch or dinner. Their takeout was a regular staple for John and I during covid. Try the shrimp and grits. It's delicious. Their fried chicken is also amazing.

Peter Chang Richmond

Peter Chang’s is one of our favorite dinner spots. They serve some delicious Szechuan Chinese dishes in a fun restaurant located in Scotts Addition.

Maymont

Maymont is a 100-acre historic estate and park located in the city. It is such a unique place with so many different things to do. You can stroll through the gardens, visit the Children's Farm and native animal habitats, explore the Nature Center, or tour the historic Mansion. If the weather is nice, it is a great place to take a picnic lunch and enjoy the day.

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery

Hardywood has become a staple of the brewery scene in Richmond. They now have two locations, one near Scott's Addition and one out west in an area called West Creek. So whether you are staying downtown or at Fine Creek, you won't be far from a fun brewery experience.
