Summer Reviews
Best Hike: Half Moon Mountain
This hike rocked. The temperature was not too bad despite it being 95 or so in Richmond. It took us the entire day to drive there, hike, and come back. Guddu had 4 ticks, and I saw a deer. Guddu also had mysterious red welts the day after, but we don't think it is lyme disease. The summit was VERY impressive and would be a good place to camp overnite. This hike is just inside the West Virginia border. We drove back on state roads instead of the highway-- we took 340 and 33. We stopped for really good and cheap Chinese food in Elkton. They practically made our dishes to order ("Can I have tofu with lots of vegetables, but no celery, and make it spicy?" and "Do you have Hunan chicken? Can I have that, spicy, and make sure there is no beef or pork in it!")
Best Swanky Bar: Bank
Sorry, I have no link for bank. It is extremely hard to google it, and I don't think they have a website. But this bar/restaurant makes you feel cultured. The interior is beautiful... It might be the future site for a fundraiser we plan to throw for our new nonprofit.
Best Lunch: Ipanema
Lucy and I went here for lunch today. I had a super tasty portabello mushroom salad with feta and pine nuts. lucy had a grilled gouda sandwich and sweet potato fries. 'nuff said.
Best Happy Hour Special: margarita on the rocks-- $3 at Bandito's
Best new nonprofit: The Deoki Nandan Education Trust
