Food Scene
Delicious Southern food with a modern twist, great wine, and an unbeatable $12 Tuesdays 'prix fixe' menu. Not bad for a 2-minute walk from the apartment!

AWESOME food, great price-- love their famous tamales on Wednesdays (I think?). Perfect for a grab-and-go or quick sit-down lunch or early dinner. Rarely empty, but never a long wait!

Great ambiance! Been here for dinner and drinks, both of which have been exceptional. On the pricier side, but WELL worth it for a nice night out. WAY better than Hamilton's or Downtown Grill :)

Nice atmosphere + Free Wifi. I usually go for tea there instead of coffee, since they tend to burn the beans when roasting (Starbucks-style), but if you're in the area & need Wifi, not a bad choice.

Hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop that tends to fly under the radar here, but most UVa students know it as an awesome place for a bite. Grab a couple sandwiches or salads and have a picnic on the Lawn!

Legendary. Their garlic pizza is dangerously delicious. The place is small, so if you plan to sit down there, call ahead and make a reservation.

Everything Else
My favorite park in the area-- great playground for kids, softball field, basketball courts, and wide open grassy area where you can almost always find a game of frisbee or football going.

PERSONAL FAVE. They do a thing called "Starry Nights" in the summer, with live music & hundreds of people picnicking. Lots of weddings are held here because the views are stunning & the wine's great!

Another personal winery fave. They keep it low-key, but have great wine, beautiful views, and some awesome dishes on the café menu, too. If you're headed south of town, definitely check it out.

Top 3 for me. Classically beautiful, with tours of the winery & tastings available. Perfect for groups/gatherings & really close to the historic Barboursville ruins! Worth the 20-min drive from town.

Sightseeing
If you're in town and have never seen Monticello, it's a must-do trip. Most guests spend 2-3 hours there, including the guided tour + exploring the grounds afterwards. Beautiful running trails, too.

Lesser-known spot with a GREAT, authentic menu served by a waitstaff dressed in traditional garb. Michie Tavern is a cool, quick stop before or after Monticello-- great for both kids & adults.

Arts & Culture
Historic theater that was refurbished back in the early 2000s and is now absolutely beautiful. Since it was redone, the Paramount draws a lot of top musicians & speakers, so check it out!

Drinks & Nightlife
Classic 'Hooville-- solid restaurant that turns into a great bar in the evenings. Close to Grounds so tends to draw a big UVa crowd.
