The August issue of Richmond Magazine (on newstands now) is chockful of Northside references in their annual climb through the Worst & Best of the Richmond region. We’ll spotlight a few key references:
Bill Martin of the Valentine Richmond History Center picks Highland Park as one of Richmond’s best (and lesser-known) historic sites: “A streetcar suburb where the white middle-class built Victorian and Queen Anne-style houses. The community declined from the 1960s, though revitalization began in the 1990s.”
Editor Carrie Nieman Culpeper spotlighted Lakeside’s Zed Cafe as an unexpected place to find art around town: “Zed cafe is partnering with Glave-Kocen Gallery to pair responsibly sourced food with great art. The first show, featuring work by Farida Hughes, is up through August 12.
John Sarvay (me), editor of North Richmond News, was voted “Best Local Blogger.” While Buttermilk & Molasses is my primary weblog focus, North Richmond News is fast becoming an important part of my weekly computer time!
Best Local Restaurant Serving Biggest Portions: Northside’s Kitchen 64 ranked second in this category behind Joe’s Inn.
Best Restaurant in the North Side: Kitchen 64 landed top honors here, followed by Lakeside’s Zed Cafe and Bellevue favorite Dot’s Back Inn.
Best Authentic Mexican Restaurant: Casa Grande — with a location on Brook Road just north of Azalea Avenue — ranked second in this category.
