Carytown is a lively, walkable neighborhood where Liv and Noah live. When they first moved to Richmond, Liv spent most of her spare time wandering Carytown’s colorful street of small boutiques, independent shops, and casual restaurants. It’s perfect for leisurely window-shopping, grabbing coffee or a bite, and catching a movie at the historic Byrd Theatre—an ideal spot for a relaxed afternoon while visiting the city.
