Whether you are new to area or life long resident things are always changing here in Hampton Roads. Here are a list of my favorite local people & spots for eats, treats, lifestyle & just an all around good time!

(***Disclaimer: I have in NO way been compensated or even asked to incorporate these people/businesses on my site,

The Green House Kitchen Enjoyed this little spot in downtown Norfolk with friends. If your looking for some healthier options look no further. The $14 salad that claims to be a portion for "1" is really a portion for "2". Super fresh, large portions, scrumptious salads, soups, and creative apps. PLUS Gelato!

Nauticus Museum Maritime themed science center, tour the Battleship Wisconsin or board a cruise out of Norfolk!

The Tar Roof Support your local weirdo's and come on down to Pungo for a "hand crafted experience" at this century old house which was lovingly turned into a local art gallery & quaint little event space.
