U/mcflare92 maybe?

...you have been along the James River in August, right?

Heritage has a good cocktail service

I rather like the general Tso's tofu from the eatery.

Huge portion and I love it, plus tofu is had alongside meat all the time in Asian cuisines, whether vegetarian or not.

New York is an incredibly myopic city, some lifelong citizens there view it like Europeans view their capital cities, as the lens through which the rest of the world is to be viewed.

Which is weird to me because NYC is an extreme outlier as far as American cities go. It's like 10 cities mushed together.

Been to new york a handful of times and the place smell like sh*t on a hot summers day and everything was triple the price and 5x worse quality wise. It always amazes me how many people are willing to put up with living in such a miserable place.

There are definitely chicken wings lying on the street in Shockoe Bottom -- I used to seem half eaten fried chicken on the cobbles near 17th and Broad

Was there again this morning! I tried to catch it but that's not really a one person job. The owner lives just down the street.

I had a couple family members move out of the city because of the monuments coming down.

Embarrassing. Their loss though, as their former home values skyrocketed in the year following the sales. Now they live in the county and the new properties have actually decreased in value since they moved out there.

Whenever these articles come up I'm always thinking we are patting ourselves on the back and not thinking systemically about what is happening.

IMO I think it's more important that lower class disproportionately black Americans get into good housing with good schools than statues.

I think BLM's moment at least for now has come and gone (negative approval rating now vs March it was overwhelmingly positive) and we mostly renamed schools and tore down some statues and learned more about how we did/are segregating.

I think the race problem is always painted as worse in the south when I think the north has multiple marks they are dramatically worse.

I grew up with confederate flags in the christmas parade.

I remember my coworker wouldn't go to Charlottesville because they tore down the Lee statue... Those kinds of people are out there.

Lack of budget these days to deal with harder hitting stories.

I enjoy grabbing cocktails at Helen's and Grisette. Have also liked everything I've had sitting at Cancan's bar!

100%

Cocktails were good for a longtime- in the last two years they've definitely been mediocre

Duloc Richmond is a perfect place

Nice try! My Chinese restaurant is busy enough as it is.

The jasper is overpriced and doesn’t even serve real food

Here comes the “should i move here” posts

> Saison is always worth a visit

so much for that

Right? I realize every article needs an angle, but “how it was recovering?” The specters of the civil war and institutional racism loom over the city, but you’d think there were buildings still smouldering from 1865.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be worth the thousands of dollars' expense just for a stove. A long time ago, I had a stove that ran on an outside propane tank, and it was inexpensive and very easy to set up.
