Virginia is for (food) lovers and Richmond is the perfect place to visit. This city gets a taste from all around the world as its central location on the East Coast welcomes diverse flavors. There are countless restaurants that highlight the cuisines from around the world such as Greek at Stella's, Italian-American at Edo's Squid, Jamaican at Jamaica House Restaurant, and Latin American at Soul Taco. Another very popular scene includes Richmond’s breweries as it is home to thirty craft breweries along an area called “Richmond’s beer trail.” Some places to grab a drink and a buzz are Jasper and Grandstaff & Stein.
