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.
Scott's Addition is home to nearly a dozen breweries, multiple coffee shops, plenty of restaurants, and a few other local gems. If you're in the mood to explore, check out some of the following:
Breweries - Väsen, The Veil, Hardywood, Three Notch'd, Starr Hill, and many more.
Shops: Wax Moon Vinyl, Class and Trash, Plant House, and Shop Made
The Fan is the neighborhood Liv and Noah lived in for most of their time in Richmond. It's home to endless local gems, beautiful architecture, and some of our favorite memories. Check out Strawberry Street for shopping, markets, ice cream, and more. Deep groove is Noah's favorite record shop in the city.
Every Saturday, the RVA Big Market is Liv and Noah's go to spot for fresh produce, meats, provisions, and local art.
The RVA Big Market is home to over 100 vendors, ranging from coffee, to produce, to local crafts.
On Sunday, just three blocks away from Liv and Noah's house, the Carytown Farmers Market offers a nice variety of local produce, provisions, and crafts.
Conveniently, this is located in the Kickers stadium where the welcome party will take place.
Friday, September 18th - Sunday, September 20th, the St. Benedict Church holds a free Oktoberfest! Boasting dozens of German beers, pretzels, and sausage, this is an iconic Richmond event.
