SNACKS & SWEETS<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Sugar Shack<\/a><\/h5>\n

Uniquely Richmond-style donuts with every topping you can imagine, and some you can’t. We like to buy a few and cut them into pieces so we get a chance to try as many as possible. Except the Bacon Maple. That’s too good to share.<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>\n
Proper Pie Co.<\/a><\/h5>\n

They have all the pies you could imagine, both sweet and savory. Check Facebook<\/a> for their daily menu.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Bev’s Homemade<\/a><\/h5>\n

Old-fashioned ice cream made right behind the store. It really can’t get any fresher. Our favorite flavors? Espresso Oreo and Butter Pecan.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Tropical Smoothie<\/a><\/h5>\n

Looking for something quick and healthy? Grab some Tropical Smoothie. The bride’s family owns the Westchester<\/a> and Short Pump<\/a> locations.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_text_separator title=”” i_icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-pagelines” i_color=”custom” add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#acbd92″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

QUICK BITES & CHEAP EATS<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
First Watch<\/a><\/h5>\n

Formally known as The Egg & I, this family-friendly breakfast\/brunch\/lunch spot is the most convenient place to get a decent breakfast. Have something smothered in Hollandaise \u2014 it will make the world a better place.<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>\n
River City Diner<\/a><\/h5>\n

For our German friends \u2014 this is an honest-to-goodness diner.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Q Barbecue<\/a><\/h5>\n

Why would you make your own barbecue? Because you move to Germany. Before becoming expats, we got our pulled pork from Q.<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>\n
Sergio’s<\/a><\/h5>\n

Our neighborhood pizza joint! The bride used to ride her bike here for a slice.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Rico’s Grill<\/a><\/h5>\n

Our go-to Mexican restaurant. If you happen to be around on Monday, it’s Dollar Taco Night.<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>\n
Boychik’s Deli<\/a><\/h5>\n

The closest thing to a New York deli that you will find outside the City.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_text_separator title=”” i_icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-pagelines” i_color=”custom” add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#acbd92″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

NICER PLACES<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Baker’s Crust<\/a><\/h5>\n

While they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Baker’s Crust is one of our favorite brunch spots.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Mosaic<\/a><\/h5>\n

Very fresh, local ingredients served at yet another great brunch\/lunch place. We go specifically for the Fried Green Tomato BLT.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
The Boathouse<\/a><\/h5>\n

The food here is good, but you really go for the view. The Sunday Park location is situated right on the Swift Creek Reservoir and Rockett’s Landing boasts a fantastic view of the James River, so you can enjoy your meal while looking at the water.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_text_separator title=”” i_icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-pagelines” i_color=”custom” add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#acbd92″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

PLEASANTLY PRETENTIOUS<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Edo’s Squid<\/a><\/h5>\n

This place thinks it’s so good that it doesn’t need a website \u2014 and they’re right. Food is excellent. Great for a date night if you don’t really feel like talking \u2014 it’s quite loud. Or eat like a local and order take-out.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

\"\"<\/div>\n
Pescado’s<\/a><\/h5>\n

If you want something a little different, this might be the thing for you! Known for it’s Caribbean-style seafood, Pescado’s uses local, organic and wild caught ingredients whenever possible.<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
