One of my favorite spots to eat. w
Stella's Richmond
I love a good bagel and I feared that when we moved to RVA we would be able to find a good one. Well, I was wrong. Check out Nate's for that chewy goodness
Nate's Bagels
Two Words - Bacon Ribs!!!
ZZQ Texas Craft Barbeque
I took my mom here for a “mom date” and we had a magically time. The chef changes the menu to match the current exhibit. Highly recommend.

Great place to sit, relax and have a good beer. They have many cool events and pop ups here too.
Hardywood Park Craft Brewery
They have a trivia nights on Tuesday and they are right next ZZQ. Need I say more?!

Every few months they bring in a new exhibit

I love to find unusual adventures. I've always wanted to travel to the Krampus festivals overseas. (It's on my bucket list) But until then, this will be a fun alternative. Be good, my little children. :)

Cool and interesting places to stay
Stunning and historic, this grand hotel in Richmond offers a serene and elegant atmosphere near downtown attractions. I took my mom here for her Birthday Brunch and she enjoyed every mintue of it. The Jefferson at Christmas is always a must do on our family holiday “to-do” list.
