Everyone’s favorite go-to guide for all things stylish and delicious just put up a new guide breaking down where to “shop, eat & do” in, that’s right, Richmond!

Kelly Brown and Leslie Kinger of Kelly Brown interiors put the guide together, and they have such lovely things to say about our city:

[Richmond] stands in the center of the state of Virginia with close proximity to the mountains, the sea, and Washington DC. The city has a rich history dating from the colonial times when the capital was moved from Williamsburg to Richmond, then served as the capital of the Confederate States of America and now the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Our lovely city sits high on a hill giving it a magnificent view of the James River surrounded by a plethora of architecturally significant areas, each with its own unique personality The city is also doted with major universities – University of Richmond, Virginia Union University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the Medical College of Virginia.

Richmond is a wonderful walking, biking, cultural city with incredible museums, festivals, cafes and shopping. The city has been often cast as a very southern and traditional, but the arts scene is vibrant and gently prodding it design-wise into a much more modern city.
