New York Magazine’s Tap Into the New South in Richmond has love for Carytown, the VMFA, and Belmont Butchery:
“Revitalized neighborhoods, new cultural attractions, and a rising culinary scene are rejuvenating Virginia’s capital. […] Hit the quirky-cool boutiques of Carytown, a neighborhood that was largely neglected until small businesses began moving in five years ago. Start with coffee and croissants at the Can Can Brasserie (pastries from $1.95), then pick up unique gifts at Mongrel (hand-painted cards from $4.95), home goods at Ruth & Ollie (graphic serving trays from $86), and vintage Nanette Lepore at Clementine (tops and blouses from $68). Wander among gently worn paperbacks and the local literati at used-book store Chop Suey (books from $5), which hosts readings by Richmond-area authors and poets.
See Klees, Kandinskys, and Picassos at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (free admission), whose recent $150 million renovation breathed new life into the staid Museum District and nearly doubled its exhibition space. […]
There are no regularly scheduled classes at Carytown’s Belmont Butchery, the carnivorous compound where Meat Hook founder Brent Young got his start. But weekday walk-ins can get free ten-minute tutorials on whatever proprietor Tanya Cauthen and her merry band of meat maestros are doing. Watch the experts break down rare-breed Berkshire hogs or carve a side of Buffalo Creek beef, then pick up some housemade guanciale to go (charcuterie starts at $5.50 per quarter pound).
