Food scene
We love that this spot is right next door. The upscale pub fare is paired well with amazing cocktails (Knotts Island is my favorite). All of this is accompanied by stellar service.
Great outdoor seating in the front and hidden in the back.

If you like a really, really good Old Fashioned, this is the place for you. Local tips: it’s a small place, so go early. If you’re waiting outside, ask them to start you a tab so you can sip while you wait.
Limited outdoor seating.

Tautog's Restaurant
205 23rd StA local favorite. Amazing seafood.
Another local favorite. In the 757, we love our Orange Crush cocktails. Sip on one here in this beautiful outdoor space. Enjoy food trucks, an open market, games, and the atmosphere.
Great outdoor seating - in fact, I think it might be entirely outdoor seating.

The best brunch you’ll ever have. The wait is long on the weekends (worth it), but there’s never a wait during the week. Don’t Miss this one and be sure to order a BayMosa.
Lots of outdoor seating (event type tent added to front of restaurant) and open air.

This farm always has something to pick and eat- strawberries and apples come first to mind. They also have a huge already picked selection and baked goods.

Yes, the Jamestown from Pocahontas :) Less than an hour away, this historical place is amazing to see- from the original church, ongoing archaeology projects, and well-stocked museum of artifacts- it makes for a wonderful day.
