Having a baby changes your perspective, and not just on the big things like loving something more than yourself and being constantly worried. Nope, we&#8217;re talking much more logistical matters, like which restaurant is best for a screaming&nbsp;infant? Which trails in town are best for pushing a stroller? And what the heck do you do with kids on a rainy day (or worse, multiple rainy days in a row.) Never fear, Charlottesville Insider has you covered with tips on where to go, what to eat and how to entertain yourselves and your little ones, no matter the weather.</p>

Charlottesville Baby Guide

<p class="p1">The allure of <a href="https://brazostacos.square.site/">Brazos Tacos</a> for parents isn&#8217;t just the tacos (which are amazing, no doubt). It&#8217;s the setting adjacent to the Ix Art Park. It&#8217;s no secret that babies and toddlers may not be able maintain proper restaurant decorum for long stretches, so having an outdoor escape where they can run and scream to their heart&#8217;s content makes Brazos a no-brainer.</p>


Brazos Tacos

<p>Booths provide privacy and rows of big screens offer visual stimulation. The bar ambience means every squawk your infant utters won&#8217;t cause a kerfluffle. Add to this some of the best locally sourced burgers around, and you&#8217;ll certainly make <a href="https://www.citizenburgerbarcville.com/">Citizen Burger Bar</a> a regular stop for family meals.</p>


Citizen Burger Bar

<p>One of Charlottesville longest operating breweries, <a href="https://www.southstreetbrewery.com/">South Street Brewery</a> is a family favorite thanks to its kid-friendly menu including mac n&#8217; cheese, grilled cheese and chicken nuggets. Parents will groove on the warm ambience, which includes a central fireplace, and televisions to keep an eye on whatever game&#8217;s in season.</p>


South Street Brewery 

<p>A Charlottesville classic, <a href="https://www.thenookcville.com/">The Nook</a> is a favorite for Charlottesville families. Classic diner fare is what you&#8217;ll find from all-day breakfast items like omelets and pancakes to burgers, sandwiches and salad. The patio area allows kids to roam a bit on the Downtown Mall while parents keep a watchful eye from the table.</p>


The Nook 

<p>One block off the Charlottesville Downtown Mall on Water Street, <a href="https://www.moesoriginalbbq.com/lo/charlottesville">Moe&#8217;s Original BBQ</a> has everything you&#8217;d want from your Southern barbecue joint. Pulled pork, slaw, beans and cheap beer please the parents. A $6 kids menu with simple entrees like sliced turkey, smoked wings and grilled cheese  pleases parents even more!</p>


Moe’s Original BBQ 

<p>Designed as a modern take on the classic food court, the new <a href="https://dairymarketcville.com/">Dairy Market</a> off Preston Avenue near downtown Charlottesville is a family dining dream. Choose from nearly a dozen dining options including the soul food of Angelic&#8217;s Kitchen (pictured), Thai cuisine from Chimm, burgers from Citizen Burger Bar. Wrap the meal up with ice cream from Moo Thru. C&#8217;mon. Does anything sound better?</p>


Dairy Market

<p>Offering classic Italian fare for more than two decades, <a href="https://www.vivacecville.com/">Vivace</a> is now one of Charlottesville&#8217;s longest standing restaurants. Consistently delicious food and a covered, tiered patio manage to create a vibe that&#8217;s both romantic and kid-friendly. Go figure! With plenty of pasta and pizza options for simple to more sophisticated tastes, the kids will be happy and so will you!</p>


Vivace 

<p>The legendary pizzeria 20 minutes west of Charlottesville lives up to its reputation for some of the best pies on the East Coast, and that&#8217;s not all it offers. Pizza salads (that&#8217;s various salads served in a pizza crust) are a unique menu offering at <a href="https://www.crozetpizza.com/">Crozet Pizza</a>, and the menu is broader than you might expect of a pizzeria. You can check out the roasted brussels with balsamic while the kids can also choose chicken strips, grilled cheese or a turkey sandwich.</p>


Crozet Pizza 

<p>American fare served in a sports bar atmosphere make both Timberwood locations top picks for family dining. (<a href="https://www.timberwoodgrill.com/">Timberwood Grill</a> is north of town at Forest Lakes; <a href="https://timberwoodtaphouse.com/">Timberwood Taphouse</a> is at Fifth Street Station). The menu is varied with everything from fish tacos to General Tso&#8217;s cauliflower. Kids can dig in to various items from the kids menu including hot dogs, chicken tenders, cheese pizza and mac and cheese.</p>


Timberwood Taphouse and Timberwood Grill

<p>Paper placemats with local ads are just one of the ways <a href="https://tiptoprestaurant.com/">Tip Top</a> feels like an old-school, authentic diner. Add no-nonsense servers who keep your coffee hot and a menu with everything from eggs and bacon and pancakes to burgers and Greek salad, and you and your family will become Tip Top regulars just like everyone else in a 10 miles radius of Charlottesville.</p>


Tip Top Restaurant

Hip and Kid Friendly Charlottesville Restaurants

<p class="p1">You don’t get your official membership in the Charlottesville stroller-pusher club until you’ve hit the <a href="https://www.monticello.org/visit/the-saunders-monticello-trail/">Saunders-Monticello Trail</a>. Several miles of gracefully sloping trails made of crushed gravel interspersed with pedestrian bridgeways offer a serene strolling experience. Pro tip: Make it to the top, and you can get a treat at the Monticello Visitors Center before heading back down to the car.</p>


Saunders-Monticello Trail

<p class="p1">Another staple for stroller walking, the <a href="https://www.visitcharlottesville.org/listing/riverview-park-%26-rivanna-greenbelt/266/">Greenbelt Trail</a> is a paved path along the Rivanna River with a trailhead at Riverview Park. Take the short loop if you’re just out for a quick walk or keep on going past Free Bridge if you want to get your step count way up! If you have a slightly older child, the park playground with benches and picnic tables are a way to extend the outing and give adults a break to visit with each other.</p>


Greenbelt Trail at Riverview Park

<p class="p1">Coffee shops, ice cream parlors, window shopping galore and an absence of cars are a few of the reasons parents pack up the stroller and the kids and head to the Charlottesville <a href="https://app.charlottesvilleinsider.com/downtown-charlottesville-webcam/">Downtown Mall</a>. Go up and back from the Omni Hotel to the Sprint Pavilion past the locally owned boutiques and restaurants, or continue past the Pavilion to City Walk, which extends Water Street along the train tracks and past the iconic downtown coal tower. It&#8217;s no coincidence that Beer Run is a reward at the end!</p>


Downtown Mall 

<p class="p1">Start your adventure at the <a href="https://www.visitcharlottesville.org/listing/meade-park/224/">Meade Park</a> playground (or pool in the summer!) and then pack up the stroller and head down the Chesapeake Avenue sidewalk to Riverview Park and the trailhead for the Greenbelt trail. And don’t forget the nearby Wool Factory at the end of Market Street just a few blocks away  (see photo) if you’re in need of refreshments of the adult and child variety!</p>


Meade Park to Riverview Park

<p class="p1">One of the great additions to the Charlottesville walking scene is the paved pedestrian and bike trail that runs parallel to the<a href="https://www.traillink.com/trail/john-w-warner-parkway-trail-/"> John Warner Parkway</a>. Wide and winding, with plenty of shade, the path means you can easily push a stroller all the way from downtown Charlottesville to Rio Road and back. Parking is available at the Rescue Squad station at the corner of McIntire Road and 250, along Melbourne Road and at CATEC.</p>


John Warner Parkway/Schenk’s Greenway 

<p class="p1">Looking for a nature walk? <a href="https://www.charlottesville.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Greenbrier-Park-10">Greenbrier Park</a> is your spot. Stone dust trails and boardwalks take you across wetlands where you can hear frogs peeping and spot water lilies. The park has no parking lot, so find a spot along Greenbrier Drive or at the end of Jamestown Road. Then pop the stroller open, buckle up baby and get on the move.</p>

Trendy Charlottesville apartments you’ll love

Plan Your Bachelorette Party in Charlottesville

<h4><a href="http://louise-shop.com"><b>A new trinket from Louise</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your beloved will need a place to put the beautiful bouquet you’ve gifted, no? (Or, at least, a place to put the last few blooms that hang on longer than the rest, as they inevitably do.) This ceramic one, at Louise, is not for the crystal vase set—it’s more suited for someone who likes to keep their surroundings a little eclectic. Entitled “Thank You For the Flowers,” it was designed in and imported from Italy. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://thinkscarpa.com"><b>Something sparkly from Scarpa</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Up the guest list on your sweetheart’s arm party with a piece of jewelry from Scarpa. The Barracks Road store stocks a robust collection of beautiful bracelets from the classic (a gold chain bracelet from Marian Maurer) to the costumey (a cuff from Lizzie Fortunato). </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://wellroomva.com"><b>A good sweat sesh from the Well Room</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get your mind outta the gutter! We’re talking a stop in the Well Room’s infrared sauna. Using infrared wavelengths to warm the body, the rising temperature penetrates tissues for a relaxing, detoxifying sweat. A 25-minute session will run you $30, so pair the gift with a bottle of the spa’s luxuriant products on offer. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://quattrotizi.com"><b>Some fresh kicks</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Give the gift of style with help from the folks at Quattro Tizi, where you can find a curated selection of on-trend pieces from companies like Alex Mill, Knickerbocker, and Fulton &amp; Roark. The downtown shop stocks items for both men and women, so anyone can walk out looking like their best self. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://staycharlottesville.com"><b>An overnight stay from Stay Charlottesville</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe the thing your sweetie really needs is a night away. In the absence of extensive travel, a staycation might be just the ticket. Pick a spot in a different neighborhood (recommended: Belmont, for walking distance to some of the best food in town, from breakfast to dinner) and don’t worry about doing the dishes. </span></p>


<p><b>&#8230;and don’t forget the dog!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We know who the real love of your life is. Give your best friend a style boost with a fresh collar from <a href="http://foytik.com">Foytik</a>, a leather goods shop based downtown. (Psst, the artisans also offer gifts for humans, from leather-bound journals and guitar straps to luggage tags and belts.) </span></p>


Six Charlottesville gift ideas for romantic occasions

<h4><a href="http://tavolavino.com"><b>Tavola</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the popular Belmont restaurant is still open for seated dinner, there’s something exciting about taking it to-go (maybe it’s that you can eat in your PJs?). Go for bestseller linguine alla carbonara, then follow it up with crowd-pleasing tiramisu. Add the restaurant’s popular old fashioned to the order and you’ve got yourself a perfect evening on the way.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://lucepasta.com"><b>Luce</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And the most romantic locale award goes to… We can’t think of a place more ripe for a meet-cute than under the streetlight at this to-go pasta spot. Order your Bolo (pork ragu over pappardelle with mint, toast crumbs, and parmesan) at the window, then work on your selfie game until your meant-to-be strolls up with dessert. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://monalisapasta.com"><b>Mona Lisa Pasta</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re more of the DIY sort, here’s your best bet: At Mona Lisa, choose your pasta cut and flavor (the Preston Plaza spot has more than 10 on offer, from lemon pepper to squid ink), then bring it home to boil up and top with your favorite sauce (which you can also get in the store). </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://prontouva.com"><b>Pronto</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’re feeling serious </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lady &amp; the Tramp</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> vibes here. This no-frills design-your-own pasta spot offers up traditional dishes like fettuccini alfredo, aglio e olio, and, yes, spaghetti. Build a bowl or (our advice) go for the family meal: Enough to feed four, it’ll cover you on date night </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> breakfast the next morning.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://lampopizza.com"><b>Lampo</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For something a little more casual (but no less delicious), we suggest Lampo, the Neapolitan pizza spot that specializes in authentic pies—often with the restaurant’s own creative twist. Don’t forget to load up your order with sides (like the shaved Brussels sprouts salad), dessert (you’ll need some zeppole, aka fried ricotta donuts), and beers.</span></p>


Romantic Italian restaurants in Charlottesville

<h4><a href="http://gearhartschocolates.com"><b>Gearharts Fine Chocolates</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The OG of Charlottesville chocolatiers, Gearharts opened in 2001 after owner Tim Gearhart returned to the city following a stint in the Marine Corps. Gearhart had externed at Keswick Hall and helped launch Hamiltons’ at First &amp; Main as its pastry chef, then decided to strike out on his own, creating an artisan line of chocolates that has been melting hearts ever since. We’re pretty passionate about anything from the store’s signature line—from the brown butter caramel to the raspberry zin. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://cocoaandspice.com"><b>Cocoa &amp; Spice</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Armed with a degree from the chocolate school (aka Ecole Chocolat Professional Chocolatier Program), chocolatier Jennifer Mowad started Cocoa &amp; Spice, an artisan chocolate shop in York Place on the Downtown Mall. Recommended: the salted caramels, where a hand-painted dark chocolate dome shell is filled with creamy caramel sauce.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://chocolatesville.com"><b>Chocolatesville</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Necessity is the mother of invention. Or, at least, that was the case for Mary Ellen Isaacson, a chocolatier who, after having moved from Florida to Charlottesville with her family, was coming up short on options for Belgian chocolate in the area. She decided to fill in the blank, and Chocolatesville—which offers everything from fudge and truffles to chocolate-dipped fruits and candies—was born. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://cvillecandy.com"><b>C-ville Candy Co.</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Known around these parts for its delectable honey brittles, C-ville Candy Co. recently added chocolates to its line of treats. Owner David Shalloway says the new additions—like the dark chocolate almond bark or Toffee for Coffee—are quickly gaining in popularity. Shalloway developed his own signature dark chocolate blend, which he uses in the barks and nonpareils. </span></p>

Date Night Guide

<h4><a href="http://hedgefineblooms.com"><b>Hedge Fine Blooms</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A popular choice for wedding bouquet, Hedge is a no-brainer for one-off arrangements, too. The downtown shop is a feast for the eyes (and nose). Stop in to craft an extra special made-by-you bouquet (with the experts’ help).  </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://tourterellefloral.com"><b>Tourterelle Floral Design</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With its romantic name (in French, tourterelle means dove, which represents love), this Ivy Road floral studio crafts appropriately charming arrangements for every season.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://fiorifloralstudio.com"><b>Fiori Floral</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Procrastinators rejoice! Not only does Fiori Floral deliver on whimsical, seasonal bouquets—think robust peonies in spring, bright zinnias in autumn—but the Main Street shop also offers same-day delivery. </span></p>


<h4><a href="https://www.donsfloristandgifts.com/"><b>Don’s Florist &amp; Gifts</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Much like a dozen roses, family-run floral shop Don’s is a classic. It opened in 1985 and, since then, has been churning out reliable bouquets for every occasion, from anniversaries to birthdays.</span></p>


Bloomin’ beautiful romantic gestures from Charlottesville florists

<h4><a href="http://hedgefineblooms.com"><b>Hedge Fine Blooms</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No need to hedge your bets on this one— this downtown floral designer knocks it out of the park every time, with an emphasis on Virginia-grown flowers and creative arrangements that work to enhance the look of your special day (think cozy lamb’s ear for a winter wedding, or a cascade of eucalyptus across your farmhouse table). </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://tourterellefloral.com"><b>Tourterelle Floral Design</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a career spent in the wedding and event industries (growing up, her family owned an inn, and later, she worked at Caspari, where she was responsible for all of the store’s display table arrangements), Lucia Evans-Morse has carved out a space in the local floral industry with her romantic, thoughtful designs.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://fiorifloralstudio.com"><b>Fiori Floral</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weddings are pricey, but Fiori focuses on affordability without skimping on style. While you can ask owner Jenn Finazzo to hand-craft bouquets for you, the designer also offers floral packages of loose blooms for your wedding party to arrange on its own, saving on cost and giving you an extra opportunity for customization.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://verdenaturalflorals.com"><b>Verde Natural Florals</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As they say, the words “verde” and “natural” are in the company’s name on purpose—Verde specializes in nature-inspired arrangements for local vineyard and outdoor weddings, often incorporating greenery, herbs, and other garden elements into bouquets. </span></p>


<h4><a href="http://blueridgefloral.com"><b>Blue Ridge Floral</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Floral arches are all the rage (and rightfully so—they create </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">such</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a moment), and no one does them better than Blue Ridge Floral. From climbing vines that look like they’ve been there forever to bright blooms skimming the curve of a handcrafted altar, owner Amy Webb takes your vision to the next level.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://naturecomposed.com"><b>Nature Composed</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ve heard of farm-to-table? Nature Composed subscribes to the idea of garden-to-vase, growing many of the flowers for their relaxed bouquets at owner Jenn Pineau’s farm in Rochelle, Virginia. For wedding arrangements, they make it easy: Tell the designers your color palette and style preference and they’ll, well, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">compose</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a bouquet based on what’s in season.</span></p>


<h4><a href="http://southern-blooms.com"><b>Southern Blooms</b></a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything’s bigger in the south, and that includes the beautiful, bountiful bouquets from mother-daughter team Pat Roberts and Sherry Spencer. They’ve been in the business since 1986 and, since then, have gained national recognition and trendsetters and industry leaders for their statement-making arrangements.</span></p>


Fantastic Florists for Charlottesville Weddings

<h4><b>The rose garden behind New Dominion Bookshop</b></h4>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Behind 404 E. Main St.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tucked behind the beloved Downtown Mall bookshop is this gem of a spot—with an iron arch covered in roses and, recently added, a few bistro tables to sit and enjoy your new read.</span></p>


<h4><b>Pratt Ginkgo on UVA’s Grounds</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Named for William Pratt, an engineer who in the late 1950s became the university’s first superintendent of buildings and grounds, this iconic tree on the northwest side of the Rotunda turns a brilliant yellow come November. </span></p>


<h4><a href="https://www.fitzgeraldstires.com/"><b>Fitzgerald’s Tires</b></a></h4>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">408 Monticello Rd.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Climb on! No, really. The tire display on the side of Fitzgerald’s in Belmont makes for the best backdrop to tell the world you love Charlottesville (not to mention it’s a genius advertising move!).</span></p>


<h4><b>Rooftops</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t forget to look up! Some of Charlottesville’s best views can be seen from on high—specifically, the rooftops of two West Main Street hotels, Quirk and the Graduate. </span></p>


<h4><b>IX Art Park</b></h4>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">522 Second St. SE</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the love butt (#iykyk) to the “Before I die…” chalk wall, Ix is a monument to creativity in its purest forms—and, lucky for us, a perfect spot to add a little color and texture to our Insta feeds.</span></p>


<h4><b>Carter Mountain Orchard</b></h4>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">1435 Carters Mountain Trail</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether you’re in it for the apple cider donuts or the mountain view off the back deck, there’s a little something for everyone at Carter Mountain. (Don’t forget to get a few good shots in the actual orchard, too.) </span></p>


<h4><b>Humpback Rock</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This enormous outcropping in the Blue Ridge Mountains provides the stuff inspirational posters are made of. Give your best superhero stance and feel the wind blowing your invisible cape behind you (just don’t look down).</span></p>


<h4><b>Raven&#8217;s Roost</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With an elevation of 3,200’, this overlook off the Blue Ridge Parkway offers sweeping views and a picturesque tree for posing under. Head up before dusk to catch the sunset over the mountains in the distance.</span></p>

Charlottesville Wedding Guide

<p><a href="https://www.thespacedowntown.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Space Downtown</a> &#8211; A warm, intimate space for reception dinners and small weddings in the heart of downtown Charlottesville.</p>


<p><a href="https://oldmetropolitanhall.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Metropolitan Hall</a> &#8211;  Designed for large rehearsal dinners and small weddings, Old Met is right on the Downtown Mall and encompasses historic charm with modern flair.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.monticello.org/visit/private-events/venues/montalto/">Montalto</a> &#8211; Spectacular views, ample space and rich history make Montalto one of Charlottesville’s top wedding locations. Set on the “high mountain” 400 feet above Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, it offers a bird’s eye view of the third president’s home with Charlottesville and the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.pippinhillfarm.com/">Pippin Hill Farm</a>  &#8211;  Exquisite scenery with gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces make Pippin Hill one of Charlottesville most coveted wedding venues, but you’ll need a generous budget. The bespoke wedding package and minimum food and drink purchase can run more than $50,000.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.bbvwine.com/">Barboursville Vineyards</a> &#8211;  Set amid the rolling fields and hills north of Charlottesville, Barboursville Vineyards isn’t just another beautiful winery. It has Palladian ruins of a mansion designed by Thomas Jefferson that add an air of romance to wedding day photos</p>


<p><a href="https://veritaswines.com/">Veritas Vineyards</a> &#8211;  The name of this winery comes from the Roman saying “In Vino Veritas,” which means “In Wine there is Truth.” And the truth is, weddings at Veritas Vineyards are spectacular yet intimate affairs with indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies small and large.</p>


<p><a href="https://kingfamilyvineyards.com/">King Family Vineyards</a> &#8211; Known as one of the most scenic wineries in the Charlottesville area, King Family Vineyards has it all: bucolic fields that stretch towards surrounding mountains, and graceful indoor and outdoor spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.weddings.keswickvineyards.com/">Keswick Vineyards</a> &#8211; Just east of Charlottesville, Keswick Vineyards has eye-popping views, gorgeous mansion and award-winning wines. Charlottesville Insider Olivia Branch says the vineyard’s picturesque fountain makes the perfect backdrop for wedding photos.</p>


Gorgeous Charlottesville Wedding Venues

<h4><a href="https://www.pourlamaisoncville.com/">Pour La Maison:</a></h4>
<p>Pour La Maison has that certain…<i>je ne sais quoi.</i> It could be the French and Italian influences that owner Winifred Wegmann draws on (in her design as well as her product lines), but it may also be that Wegmann’s decade at Créme de la Créme helped hone her eye. Stop by the Ivy Road shop for colorful table linens and timeless servingware.</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.casparionline.com/">Caspari:</a></h4>
<p>With only two stores— in Charlottesville and, wait for it, Paris!— this paper store is stuffed to the gills with beautiful goods that draw on the artwork of established artists and museums. Think floral patterns from the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum on a cocktail napkin or a Stewart plaid tartan on paper plates. The shop’s in-house merchandising team designs full tablescapes (and takes the guesswork out of your dinner setup).</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.follycville.com/">Folly:</a></h4>
<p>Founded by two friends from very different places (Beth Ann from Alabama, Victoria from New York), Folly melds colors, patterns, and vibes to stylish results. Head to this Barracks Road spot for a brightly patterned pillow, a envy-inducing interior design tome, and get the owners’ opinions (they offer full service design consultations, too). Just look for the bright orange door.</p>


<h4><a href="https://lodgerva.com/">Artful Lodger:</a></h4>
<p>If you’re like us, there’s a spot in the middle of your sofa that’s starting to…show its age. If you’re also like us, you’ll head to Artful Lodger to find an upgrade. Let your eyes feast on a Lee Industries sectional, or a mid-century-inspired Copeland Furniture end table. Roll up a Loloi rug, while you’re at it (and don’t sleep on the smaller décor items, either).</p>


<h4><a href="http://www.andgeorge.com/">And George:</a></h4>
<p>Named for their late dog, George, this shop just shy of city limits stocks the finer things. Designer Jan Roden and her daughter, Christy Ford, curate an eclectic collection of rugs, furniture, and antique curiosities, with an eye toward the upscale, and a recent downsize to their showroom means an even more astute point of view (a.k.a. only the best of the best finds).</p>


<h4><a href="https://bejustcville.com/">Be Just:</a></h4>
<p>The newest addition to Charlottesville’s home décor offerings, Be Just in Belmont is the stuff Instagram influencers’ dreams are made of. Think stoneware bowls, handwoven baskets, and modern matte-finish taper holders, all artfully merchandised. Oh, and did we mention there’s a plant room? Just literally a room full of plants (the owners are floral industry pros), so you can start collecting. And collecting. And collecting…</p>

Amazing Cocktails for Winter Nights

<h4><a href="https://petitpoisrestaurant.com/">Petit Pois</a>:</h4>
<p>You can’t go to Paris this winter, that’s true. But a dinner from Petit Pois can transport you there at least for one meal! Start with some soup, then go with a classic entree like the salmon, or venture out on a culinary adventure with skate wing.</p>


<h4><a href="https://tavolavino.com/">Tavola</a>:</h4>
<p>There’s something quintessentially romantic about rustic Italian, and Tavola never fails to deliver. Start your date night right with the antipasti misti and then finish filling up with pasta dishes like the pappardelle ragu (housemade pasta, pork and red wine ragu, with grana padano and basil).</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.smokedkt.com/">Smoked Kitchen &amp; Tap:</a></h4>
<p>You want hearty romance? You’ll get it from Smoked Kitchen and Tap west of Charlottesville in Crozet. Mountain high nachos, burgers and fries, ribs and more make a perfect casual date-night dinner.</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.timberwoodgrill.com/">Timberwood Grill:</a></h4>
<p>Fish and chips, steak frites topped with truffle cream sauce, and wild mushroom ravioli are just a few of the entrees from this beloved sports bar and grill north of Charlottesville at Forest Lakes. Sports lovers aren’t the only ones who’ll want to dig in!</p>


<h4><a href="https://angelicskitchen.com/">Angelic’s Kitchen:</a></h4>
<p>Sometimes cold weather calls out for comfort food, and Angelic’s Kitchen has you covered. Who can say no to fried chicken, collard greens and mac and cheese!</p>


<h4><a href="http://www.mastapas.com/">Mas Tapas:</a></h4>
<p>The only hard part about a meal from Mas is deciding which small plates to order without arguing! Charlottesville Insider faves include papas bravas (lightly spicy Yukon Gold potatoes with Harissa, herbs, gray sea salt, and garlic aioli), bacon-wrapped dates and carne asada. Yum!</p>


<h4><a href="https://boylanheights.co/">Boylan Heights:</a></h4>
<p>Who says a romantic dinner has to be fancy fare? Sometimes a burger’s what the heart and stomach cry out for, and Boylan burgers are boss. Try the double trouble (two beef patties with American cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sriracha mayo and fried egg). If you can both finish one, it must be love!</p>


<h4><a href="http://www.hotcakes.biz/">Hot Cakes:</a></h4>
<p>A gourmet to-go menu is a great start for a romantic take-out dinner. An array of gluten free and vegan options include gazpacho salad and Moroccan vegetable ragu. Order early since Hot Cakes closes at 6!</p>

How to Live and Work Remotely

Indian Summer Guide Service group having a glass of wine after a ride

<h4>Easy Hike Around Woolen Mills:</h4>
<p>Don’t let the cold keep you indoors this winter. Bundle up the whole family for a walk through wooded trails along Moore’s Creek and check out the new pedestrian bridge. When it’s time to warm up, head to The Wool Factory for some coffee or hot cocoa from The Workshop or make a reservation for outdoor dining and brews at Selvedge Brewery</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.monticello.org/visit/the-saunders-monticello-trail/">Saunders-Monticello Trail:</a></h4>
<p>The crushed gravel trail that winds gently up the mountain to Monticello is a walk suitable for all ages. Dogs are welcome on the lower portion of the trail, but once the wooden walkways begin, it’s humans only. If you make it all the way to the top, reward yourself with a cozy cup of hot cocoa at the Monticello Visitor’s Center. Nature, history and a sweet treat. What could be better?</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.montpelier.org/trails">The Trails at James Madison’s Montpelier:</a></h4>
<p>Less than 30 minutes outside Charlottesville, Montpelier boasts eight miles of hiking and walking trails. Walk along The Landmark Forest and Demonstration Forest trails to see rare old growth and transitional forests with oak, beech and tulip tree canopies. Other trails on the property include the Montpelier-Grelen Trail and the Montpelier Civil War trail. Dogs on-leash are welcome.</p>


<h4><a href="https://highland.org/">Highland Trails:</a></h4>
<p>Your presidential trail tour can keep on going at James Monroe Highland, the home of the fifth president. Just up the road from Monticello, you’ll find six Highland Trails plus the mountain access road ranging in length from .2 up to 2.1 miles. String a few together for a longer hike. Dogs are not allowed on the trails except on designated days.</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.wintergreenresort.com/">Wintergreen Resort:</a></h4>
<p>Just 45 minutes from Charlottesville in Nelson County, Wintergreen Resort is an outdoor wonderland, and never more so than during the winter months. If zipping down slopes on skis or a snowboard aren’t your thing, check out The Plunge tubing park and the miles of hiking trails with breathtaking overlooks. Check the website for lift ticket specials like the Mission: Four’dable, which gets you four lift tickets to use anytime during the 2020-21 season for $249. Available through Dec. 18</p>


<h4><a href="https://charlottesvilleinsider.com/visit/indian-summer-guide-service/">Indian Summer Guide Service: </a></h4>
<p>The Central Virginia countryside is gorgeous year-round, and you’ll enjoy it even more on horseback! No riding experience? That’s no problem with Indian Summer Guide Service. You and a group can take a guided ride through area vineyards, into the mountains and across meadows and streams. Riders must be 12 or older, 250 lbs or less, and able to mount and dismount with only a mounting block for assistance.</p>


<h4>Purvelo:</h4>
<p>Charlottesville’s only locally owned spin-hub has regular classes and now offers an at-home bike rental program. The bonus? Classes taught by Charlottesville Insider Ian Dillard!</p>


<h4><a href="https://www.barredstudio.com/">Barre.[d]:</a></h4>
<p>The instructions for this barre studio are simple: Show up. Be you. Leave stronger. And with online classes available, you don’t have to leave home to get stronger!</p>

Places to get Toasty by a Fire

<h4><a href="https://www.sogooditskeevil.com/"><b>Keevil &amp; Keevil Grocery &amp; Kitchen:</b></a></h4>
<p>Stop here for Southern faves like Brunswick stew or a whole pan of cornbread. Bonus: Your order helps fund owner Harrison Keevil’s #feedvirginia project, a partnership with Arc of the Piedmont that provides free meals to the food-insecure. <i>703 Hinton Ave., 989-7648</i></p>


<h4><a href="http://www.greenwoodva.com/"><b>Greenwood Gourmet Grocery:</b></a></h4>
<p>Nab a pint of curried chicken salad, a fresh loaf of bread, and a bottle of wine to go from this country grocer, but don’t forget to order a Blue Slate for the road: smoke turkey, havarti, lettuce, tomato and ancho-lime mayo on country bread. Yum. <i>6701 Rockfish Gap Turnpike, Crozet, (540) 456-6431</i></p>


<h4><a href="https://www.marketstreetmarket.net/"><b>Market Street Market:</b> </a></h4>
<p>A true grocery store in that you can find produce, cleaning supplies, and cat food in its aisles, MSM also stocks an extensive selection of wine and beer. And don’t forget the finishing touch: a bag of peanut butter cookies (with Hershey’s kisses in the middle!) from Free Union’s Mission Home Bakeshop. <i>400 E. Market St., 293-3478</i></p>


<h4><a href="https://www.feastvirginia.com/"><b>Feast!</b>:</a></h4>

Main St. Suite H, 244-7800</i></p>


<h4><a href="https://www.stockprovisions.com/"><b>JM Stock Provisions:</b></a></h4>

<h4><a href="http://www.foodsofallnations.com/"><b>Foods of All Nations:</b></a></h4>

<h4><a href="https://www.tilmanscheeseandwine.com/"><b>Tilman’s Wine &amp; Cheese:</b></a></h4>
<p>Okay, this one isn’t technically a grocery store, but we like to stop in for a take-home treat, just the same: cheeseboards. The downtown shop assembles a delicious one, and they’ll even recommend a bottle of wine (which you can also find there on the shelves) for pairing. <i>406 E. Main St., Downtown Mall, 566-0777</i></p>
