Things To Do
Downtown Mall
Step out of the Omni to the lively downtown mall! Walk around and explore lots of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options! We recommend making a reservation, as it should be a very busy weekend in Charlottesville. Our favorites: Bang! - Asian cuisine The Bebedero - Mexican cuisine Bizou - French cuisine Citizen Burger - American cuisine Hamilton's - Upscale American cuisine Jack Brown's - American cuisine The Nook - American cuisine Now & Zen - Asian cuisine Ten Sushi - Japanese cuisine Zocalo - Spanish cuisine
