"Blackberry milkshakes rule everything around me"

"A solid grocery store with super chill, friendly staff. And they give back to the community. You may need to venture elsewhere to get more obscure ingredients, but 90% of the time the Mkt's got it."

"Great place to look melancholy on a rainy afternoon (and to learn about Poe, see some killer artifacts, and get a feel for old-time Richmond). P.S. Did you know Poe originated the whodunit genre?"

"Everything is delicious but I looked at the Hop Tart and thought "that's for the kids." Then I had a bite one and realized it was my favorite thing yet. So don't sleep on those!"

"Best cupcakes in town. Don't ever let anybody tell you differently."

"One of the best meals I've had in VB. Decor is very on-brand, too. I recommend the lumpia, crab balls, spam musubi, bbq, cocktails (duh) and "island whip," which is better than Disney's Dole whip tbh."
