This museum is free and open to the public, and it's just a stone's throw from Carytown and the rest of the Fan. Check it out!
This is an entire neighborhood of Richmond, and it's a great place to walk around, window shop, eat, drink, and just be merry. For ease, this physical address is one of Dawnthea's favorite cafes in town. It's not a bad starting point.
We love this speakeasy! Note: You need a password to get in, but it's not hard to find. :)
This is basically Dawnthea's home away from home. Great coffee, great pastries, great staff, great atmosphere.
Yes, this is a workout studio. But if you have time and some flexible clothing, this is a great place to try out aerial yoga!
It's a cemetery that's nice for walks. Mind the Confederates.
This historic estate has beautiful property, gardens, and a rich history. The grounds are free to explore, while there is are nominal fees for the mansion, nature center, and visitor center.
The burgers are very good here. It's an excellent late-night spot.
W/Th happy hour is fantastic for drinks and sushi (5-7)
It's a park! And an island! Sort of!
Fun fact: We almost got married here.
Mmm, pie.
Yummy ramen
ALSO yummy ramen
We've been fans of this place since the owner had a small spot off of VCU's campus. RIP Mama's Kitchen.
ICE CREAM
Board games, tabletop systems, DICE.
Whatever, nerd
Uh, this is also in Richmond. It's big and hard to miss, so we included it.
This is actually the original location of a regional burger bar we grew up with. They look very similar.
Best pizza
We really like the food at this sit-down Chinese restaurant. We also had our first dinner as a married couple here.
It's a classic bar food/regular food/drunk food joint. The milkshakes are great.
