If you find yourself in the Richmond Virginia area anytime soon, be sure to go directly from the airport to Stuzzi's. Order whatever the pizza of the day is with a glass of red wine. While you are waiting for your pizza, get the caprese salad with their house-made mozzarella. Go with someone and split all this because what you are really going to want to get is the "Baba Rum".
Rum soaked mini yeast cakes served over a creamy slightly sweetened ricotta with a drizzle of raspberry. Holy Easter Bunny! It was divine.
As soon as you are done eating, shake a leg on over to Carytown. It's just a block over from Stuzzi's.
There is a LOT to see and plenty of interesting spots for flattering self portraits.
The last time I heard an accordion this soulful was in the metro station in Paris. Enchanting.
Lots of unique little spots to poke around in. Highly recommended as a way to spend a day.
P.S. Be sure to stop in Merrymaker. Super cool paper store. I tried to stop myself from buying another interesting book on fonts but I was not successful. In my defense I was under the influence of the baba rum when the purchase was made.
You always manage to find the most unique spots to visit on your journeys. We have nothing so hip, charming, quaint, upbeat in this tourist attraction where I live.
Looks like a great place to visit.
