I really like this tour. I found it really interesting. This is the home of the 5th president of the United States, James Monroe. Formally called Ashland, it is adjacent to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.

Food Scene

The downtown mall is a pedestrian mall located in the heart of Charlottesville. There are unique shops, restaurants and several music venues. A great time to go is late in the afternoon. Do some shopping, stop for dinner and catch some music. Don't miss a visit to this part of town. A must experience, especially the Free Speech Monument.

This is the local's place for bagels. As a transplant from New York I am a bagel snob, but even I have to admit these bagels are very, very good. There are three locations. Sometimes there is a bit of a line, but it moves quickly.

This restaurant can be difficult to get a reservation at, so it's best to start trying in advance. It is tucked away in an alley with no signs outside and no way to know it is there. It is a door under a light in an alley. Tricky to find, and mostly locals eat there because of this. If you are up for an adventure, try this place. The food is delicious and the bar drinks are superb.

This one is hard to describe. The chef is one of the more interesting in town. I'd call it bar food, but it's really not that. Maybe bar food elevated to another level? Local meat, local produce, house cured meat, good bar drinks. One of my favorite spots. There is a bar located in the basement.

If you like Thai food and want a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place I would suggest. There are other places in town, but I like this for the quality of food and ease of getting to. Not in a fancy setting, but good, good Thai food. Currently closed for inside dining, but you can order ahead and pick up to eat at the cabin. Generally takes about 20 minutes from order to pick up time.
