We love Mel's for real-deal Southern/soul/comfort food. It's not fancy and there's no booze, but the food is excellent. Though it's on Main Street between the beloved Continental Divide and Maya, it's often overlooked.

Excellent Mexican food, surly service. It's totally worth it, though.

This Mexican sweet shop is AMAZING! The popsicles are iconic, and the ice cream, pastry, and savory street-food style snacks never disappoint.

Excellent sushi and Japanese comfort foods. We are not fans of their big rolls (so! much! rice!), but everything else is fantastic. They get very busy, so go early!

Great vegetarian Vietnamese food. The Bahn mi is so great, you won't even miss the meat. It's located in a tiny cute spot behind the Jefferson Theater.

This is our favorite new spot! Creative food and cocktails, with a Korean thruline. They have occasional Saturday night dance parties and pop-up collaborations. Check @ummascville for news.

Drinks & Nightlife

This place is an institution! Dinner is French and upscale, but we go for the late night menu. The bartenders know what they're doing. Plus, there's always great by-the-glass wines . The basement bar is wood paneled and homey. You might even run into us, since this is our favorite bar in town.

If you squint, you can pretend you are in the islands at the tiki bar on this hilltop farm. They have a corn maze her in the autumn, and tons of activities throughout the year.

Essentials

Virginia is famous for our gas station chicken, and Brown's is the best in town. It's a few blocks away and a great place to get some food and snack basics, gas, and even soft serve ice cream. The people who work here are incredibly sweet.

The B&R is your typical bodega, run by nice dudes with a decent craft beer selection. If you need basic emergency supplies but don't feel like driving, this spot probably has what you need.

Parks & Nature

The Lawn itself is cool, but the beautiful gardens behind the serpentine walls are breathtaking! Not many people explore these gardens, so you probably won't run into many other people. There are excellent climbing trees!

These are great trails! There's some wide, paved trails, and some more rugged dirt trails, too. You can walk up the mountain to Monticello!

Entertainment & Activities

OK, I know you didn't come all the way to CVille to watch a movie, but if your plans get rained out, the Alamo is a great place to watch a movie and have a marg. In addition to first run movies, they often show various classics.

A great used book shop on the most glorious block of the Downtown Mall. Check out the Pie Chest, Hedge Fine Blooms, and Mead's Oriental Rugs after picking up some old books!
