Hello Jenna,
Let me first start off by saying thank you on behalf of our city for giving a thought about coming to Richmond with your excellent talents! Secondly, when coming to our city try to avoid Henrico County as best you can because of aggressive LEOs. Google a map of Richmond and try to stay within those borders, but preferably towards the western border. (better side of the city and clientele dont always like to come downtown. Also, avoid the area south of the river). While in Richmond we have plenty of restaurants, bars, history and theaters to experience. Cary street is where you'll find more artisan venues such as the Mellow Mushroom (pizza), Carytown Cupcakes, Rocket Fizz and For The Love of Chocolate, etc... In the shockoe bottom you'll find the bar and club district. My favorite bars are Company 2, Sine's Irish Pub and River City Diner.There are also historic segway tours if history is something that interests you.
I hope this is helpful and that you enjoy your stay in Richmond!
Is there no discussion board for VA? Theres an ad board. That's strange. But anyway..... When touring Richmond where do girls usually stay? Downtown or the outskirts? Anything else I need to know about Richmond as a first timer?
Many gals stay in Western Suburbs and most of the newer and probably nicer hotels are in the Western Suburbs. The one issue of concern is that the Western Suburbs are located in the County of Henrico which is known for its aggressive stance on the hobby. I am unaware that the higher end discrete cats like yourself are at much risk....but forewarned is forearmed. There is a very nice hotel in downtown Richmond called the Jefferson; however, I am not aware that it is frequented by hobbyists. I am aware that the City of Richmond LEO activity is pretty well limited to street gals of varying dimensions and levels of confusion. Welcome....

Well. I guess it'll be trial and error on my part as far as location. Glad to be making Richmond a stop on my American Girl tour. Anything else I shoukd do in Richmond? Things to see? Restaurants that are a must?

Now that Uber is in Richmond it makes getting around a bit easier because cabs are a PITA so you need to have a car. Stay in the city, Short Pump is a bit far. The Jefferson is nice but pricey. The Omni, The Berkeley and the new Residence Inn are all good and reasonable and in Shockoe Bottom. Also never any issues at them.
I agree with Mocha. Short Pump has a couple very nice Hotels and very good Restaurants and Shopping. Kona Grill and the Boathouse are my top choices.
