Great drinks, brunch, bowling and sometimes live music!
The cutest little shopping part of the city! Lots of interesting shops, good food and coffee, thrifting and more :) FYI most shops close around 7-8pm everyday.
Super cool high-speed adult indoor go-karting that’s fun for everyone!
We went here on one of our first dates! This local spot has incredible Thai food and ambience! One of Ari and Stephen’s go to’s
Ari’s FAVORITE Mexican food spot local to Richmond. Super friendly service, humongous portions, and mouth-watering chicken.
Similar to chipotle or cava, this local VA spot has fresh Mediterranean style bowls with rice greens and more. Also located on VCU’s campus in downtown Richmond, so good luck with parking!
Another one of Ari & Stephen’s favorite local coffee shops with fresh biscuits, fantastic espresso and a very cute vibe. They’re very popular so make sure to get there early or expect a line out the door!
FANTASTIC authentic Italian cuisine with shareable size dishes and mouth-watering seafood and pasta dishes. They also have the best tiramisu Ari and Stephen have ever had in the US! Fantastic ambiance but make sure to make a reservation as soon as possible as they fill up fast since it’s a small restaurant.
Ari & Stephen’s go-to spot for a quick, quality, new-York style bagel. Loaded with local ingredients, Nate’s is a hot-spot for Richmond locals that know what a good bagel is :)
By far the BEST farmers market in Richmond with awesome local art vendors and produce, food trucks and more. Located in Bryan Park this was a Saturday morning staple for Stephen & Ari when they lived in Richmond. Make sure to get an apple cider donut for us!
Awesome and popular local richmond coffee shop with great lattes and even better quick breakfast! The sweet potato chai muffin is to DIE for :)
A lively spot to have a local VA crafted beer and play some yard games or arcade games. Stephen had his birthday here 2 years in a row! After 9 pm it’s 21+ just FYI
Stephen & Ari first started dating at the river because it is easily one of the best spots to spend time in Richmond
A go-to spot to watch the sunset and listen to the trains on a summer Richmond evening
