    Looking for something to do, I found a poetry slam here. They had a workshop going on before the…read moreslam, and we got alot of the artists from the workshop performing. All were pretty good, I enjoyed the different poems and styles of performing.

I've met numerous artists, including photographers, potters, sculptors, painters, furniture makers and makeup artists who all have spaces here. It also lends itself to a very collaborative atmosphere since they all are right next to each other. In addition, you can host events here. I've been to lots of events here and have worked with groups that have hosted events here and everything is always very nice. There's one big room where the events are usually centered. The room is pretty basic and can be decorated to fit a variety of styles. They have funky lantern lights you can use if you want. I've been to auctions, art shows, parties and fundraisers, each of which gave the space its own unique feel. If you've got a larger event, you can set up space in the hallways between the artists' spaces. I've been to parties where there's food and a bar in the main room, but there are other bars placed in other open locations to allow people to flow around the building. This is pretty cool too since there's usually some random art installations hanging throughout the hallways. There's also ample parking in a lot across from the building, which is nice since this can be a problem at lots of downtown facilities. I'd definitely consider Plant Zero for a special event.

Don't be confused by the name, The Valentine. This 19th-century home was purchased in 1898 by Mann Valentine Jr. who added a museum to the property and renamed it The Valentine. My visit was part of a dual tour with the John Marshall House (treason trial of A. Burr). The tour started promptly at the appointed time, and we began our tour of the home. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Wickham house, the family and the history of that time. Her tour was much more than a simple recitation. She brought the home to life through her descriptions, easily fielded questions and encouraged discussions. We all gained a clear picture of life at that time as well as the role that John Wickham played in history. The house is kept in beautiful condition with many examples of how the family lived, from clothing to imagined food out on the table. I was truly impressed by the beauty of the home. After the tour we were able to meander through the museum that is a part of the property. It is an interesting stroll through Richmond's history from the early 1800's to the present. I would definitely suggest a visit here if you are a history fanatic. Check out your options for parking before you get here (I parked in one of the local garages and spent about $15).

The staff was top notch, welcoming and attentive., The upstairs was warm and inviting (proper distancing and masks on) with two covered patios off the main dining room and bar overlooking Main Street and the new huge patio down stairs on the 17th St market side. We got cocktails at the bar and the gracious owner walked us downstairs to the large patio. He explained his plan (already in motion) of making a deli with bar and seating in a portion of the downstairs space, very cool. We sat on the patio with friends and enjoyed watching all the foot traffic around the market as well as a jazz duo (trombone and singer) on the corner. Now, the best part...Dinner. I had a classic Reuben, the GF had a Chicken salad croissant and our friends had a stuffed Hanover tomato and a pastrami and swiss on rye. The pastrami is done in house and was like nothing you will find locally, unbelievably tender, flavorful and perfect. Everything was super tasty, a good time was had by all and we look forward to more evenings on the patio and when they close Rosie Connolly's is right next door so...bonus. :)

While leaving some very lady who appeared to be in charge started being very rude. Mind the fact we were at the door walking out after having been inside a good 20 seconds. I even had to turn around to ask her why she was being so mean and rude. Definitely not someone I would want to work with for a private function. Anyhow I will certainly avoid the place in the future. And hey to the rude lady... How about some private function signs!
