Thanks again,

Wow, you're coming it at an unusual time for Richmond... we hardly ever get snow! As far as food is concerned I would recommend Acacia-Midtown, Bistro 27, Julep's, Millie's, and Lulu's (especially for brunch). These places are pricier but the food is excellent. Lots of folks like Mama Zu's and Edo's Squid as well but I've only been once to each and am not yet sold. Kuba-Kuba is a great spot for Cuban food, you have the new restaurants Balliceaux and Bouchon that are getting great reviews too. For a good "Welcome to Virginia" meal I'd recommend Comfort... the food isn't astounding but it's still very good southern comfort food... they have a nice vibe and a great whiskey selection.

Wow. I didn't know this weather system we're expecting today here in MA is going to hit you guys down there too. Drive carefully!

We're expecting 6 - 12 inches starting @ 4 pm today. I hope that cheers you up somewhat[/quote]

Hello Camer..fellow MASS dweller! LOL I hope we dont get too much snow here. First i heard only 3-5 inches. However, that number keeps creeping up. I thought the stuff wasnt starting until around midnight.

I am going to see the movie AVATAR this evening. The snow had better hold off until then. My friends and some co-workers having been planning this day to see that movie for weeks. LOL

Tanger= shopping outlets like the outlets in Wiiliamsburg which I think are called the prime outlets.
