Charlottesville Regulars Have Been Sliding Into The Booths At Riverside Lunch For Decades

Some places in Charlottesville change their menus every season. One little lunch counter has barely needed to change at all since 1935. Families who came here as kids now bring their own children, and folks drive in from West Virginia just to grab a seat. The room is small, the plates are paper, and the line can start before the doors even open.

This Old-School Virginia Bakery Has Been Making Family Recipes Since 1935

One of the owners here is affectionately known as the donut lady. Honestly, I can’t think of a better job title in all of Virginia. The donuts carry that nickname for a reason. Blueberry cake, applesauce, and classic glazed are some of the big names. On weekends, the line can stretch right out the door.

The Absolute Best Brunch in Harrisonburg VA

I’ve spent years refining the only opinion that matters: where to eat when you’re too hungover to make decisions. Harrisonburg’s brunch game is a minefield of college-town chaos, but behind the chaos lies a roster that swings from a top-three burger joint that remembers my dog to a Mediterranean spot with the best Old Fashioned in town.

GRiZ to Relocate His Seven Stars Festival After Learning Current Site Was Once a Plantation

GRiZ says he will find a new location for his Seven Stars festival after learning the event’s current site was once a plantation. So, What Was GRiZ Doing During All That Time Off? ‘I Just Needed to Figure Out Who I Am to Me’ The second edition of Seven Stars happened earlier this month, Oc. 9-11, at Oak Ridge Estate & Farm in Arrington, Virginia. In a statement posted to social media on Thursday (Oct. 29), the producer noted that his team was previously made aware of the site’s history and consulted with educators at the University of Virginia on the issue, but that the issue was never brought to him. “I had naively assumed that if an issue of this weight arose, it would be brought to my attention,” says the artist born Grant Kwiecinski. “But true leadership does not allow for deflecting of accountability. This responsibility for what happens under my name sits squarely on my shoulders. This fell on my watch, and the failure is entirely mine.” He continues that Seven Stars will not return to Oakridge Farm and that he and his team “are taking an intentional hiatus to search for a new home.
