RICHMOND’S CARYTOWN

Shop, eat, hang and have fun

This boutique-lined street is called Richmond’s “mile of style” for good reason, but it’s also a mile of bookstores, candy shops, bike shops, coffee shops, a craft brewery (with awesome wine), hot cocktail spots, mani-pedi spots, restaurants with great patios and people walking dogs. The shops are mostly locally owned, so you’re going to find something you won’t find anywhere else. Two must-sees: the historic Byrd Theatre, with movies every day and weekend performances on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ; and World of Mirth, with a bizarre collection of very fun goods.
