A Day in the Life

Last week I had a meeting downtown at the VCU-MCV Hospital. Knowing parking is an issue down there, I left my apartment 40 minutes early. Okay, that's a lie. I left 30 minutes early, but still with enough time to go two miles and be at my meeting. You may remember I've had parking issues downtown before, but this time I figured I'd park at my usual place and walk a half mile to the hospital or, worse, in the hospital parking lot.

Of course, I remember my usual place is street parking, which is limited to two hours, and I have class after my meeting, so I need three hour parking. I decide to park in the public lot. So I park. It's 1:14. I have 16 minutes to walk half a mile and up three flights of stairs to my meeting. I walk over to the device to pay for parking. I click I'll be there for three hours. The machine asks for me $14.

Richmond Brunch Weekend Followup

July 18, 2016 by astoldoverbrunch in Richmond Brunch Review

It's been over two months since Richmond Brunch Weekend happened! Honestly, we've been dieting ever since due to all those mimosas and omelets eaten Saturday and Sunday.

But we want to thank you all for coming out and supporting the first ever Richmond Brunch Weekend! In total, we had 24 restaurants participate and raised over $11,000 that will all go back to VCU Massey Cancer Center. We think these are awesome figures for an inaugural event, and we can't wait to plan for the Second Annual Richmond Brunch Weekend!

Do you really need a reason to brunch? We mean, maybe you need a bit of coffee to get out of bed, but once you're at brunch, do you really have any regrets?

But okay. We'll give you some reasons.

It's spring.

You don't have to do anything. (At least until after brunch.)

I recently broke up with Gold's Gym Willow Lawn, which leaves me in search of my newest gym relationship. My three criteria are: cheap, geographically convenient and has ellipticals, treadmills and some weight machines. That's about it. After doing a lot of Google searching:

I discovered I basically have three gym options in Richmond:

Brunch Review: 821 Cafe

August 23, 2015 by Cazey Williams in Cazey's Column, Richmond Brunch Review

When you first arrive to 821 Café, you aren’t sure whether to seat yourself or wait for a waiter – or who even is the waiter among the waiting masses (okay, “masses” may be an exaggeration). 821 is a small joint that emphasizes the “Richmond hipster” vibe: Read exposed brick walls and strangers sitting side-by-side as they enjoy local beers (at least I think they’re local; I don’t know my beers).

I brought my out-of-town friend here since I had eaten dinner here twice before and thought 821 appropriately showcases the more alternative side to Richmond. The menu offers multiple tofu options and the wait staff is often adorned in as many tattoos and piercings as the other customers.
