Richmond's best restaurant. Get the Perfect Egg. They used to serve homemade gourmet hotdogs and sodas on the sidewalk summer Saturday's from 12:00-2:00, then opened "Stroops" around the corner to satisfy customer demand. Stroops may or may not be open currently.

Some of Richmond's best BBQ right down the block. THe Jalapeño Mac & Cheese and the train wreck or brisket burrito are my go-tos. If you leave the apt windows open you'll be able to smell it some afternoons. Outdoor patio eating.

Union Market is half market/ half restaurant. Great for lunch and light fare dinner. Patio seating is popular. Craft beer and kombucha on tap, free wifi. I usually get the 1/2 French dip or Chicken Tarragon sandwich, 1/2 chopped salad (chickpeas and avocado!). Market offers awesome local food options, some pre-made snacks, craft beer and great wine selection and lots of locally made icecreams and cookies.

The BEST brunch in the city. Huevos Rancheros is my go-to. Any of the Mess's are killer, too. Booths have working jukeboxes. Get there early or expect a pretty good wait time. Dinner is also amazing, but brunch is where they reign.
