This is a wonderful summer Saturday morning activity. Try to get there early, but it goes until noon. Tacos, giant ripe tomatoes, coffee, local meats, fresh eggs, baked goods, plants, jewelry, flowers, and everything else. It's a scene for sure :)

This is the most "uncool" bar in Charlottesville, which I think makes it one of the best :) They have a fantastic selection of beers and no pretension what-so-ever. Also- definitely order some wurst and pretzel to go with your beer.

Don't be dissuaded by the garden gates. The gardens off of UVA's Lawn are public domain. They are a wonderful spot to stop and take a breather, eat a sandwich or climb a tree.

Parks & Nature

RRC is run by our good friends Gabe and Sonya- take a tube, stand up paddle board, kayak, or canoe down the Rivanna River, and enjoy Charlottesville's landscape from a totally new perspective! We take our kids (3&1) down the river as much as possible. It's no Gauley or New River, but it makes for a lovely afternoon.
