Shockoe Slip

In the heart of Richmond is a great coffee house and restaurant. The Urban Farmhouse has great breakfasts and very good espresso drinks (the large latte comes with 4 shots as it should). Wifi and plenty of tables to get comfortable with big windows providing a nice view of old Richmond. It's right across the street from La Grotta Ristorante a good Italian restaurant for later in the night. A definite stop when in Richmond Va.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Go to The Tobacco Company. Best spot in the slip. Great food and great music

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Due to the cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks, proper foot ware is important. The sidewalk is also uneven in spots.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Boat "cruise" downtown not that great. Too much traffic. Hard to get to. Parking hard to find and expensive!
