VOL. 41  /  SUNBURN Yesterday's mid-week holiday was just a teaser for all of the fun to be had this weekend. Props if you extended your vacation a couple days. For those of you facing re-entry this morning, these ideas will carry you to Saturday, back to break mode and those classic Americana vibes. Who's already sunburned? Don't Look Back This vibrant, spunky taco joint has been resurrected following a fire in its original home in Carytown, and is open now in Scott’s Addition. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have it back! Go traditional or gringo when ordering from quite a variety of tacos and pair them with a jalapeño-orange marg. They also offer a killer half-price happy hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm. While you're there, pick up a game of pool or shuffleboard - Tuesdays you play free!   Vitals: dontlookback.co West Side Story Virginia Repertory Theatre is currently hosting a not-to-be-missed production of the classic, West Side Story. You’ll get all of the romantic Romeo-and-Juliet feels in this musical rendition of the two star-crossed lovers. Epic song and dance are guaranteed. Bring a friend along for an afternoon show, or make a proper night out of it with dinner to start.   Vitals: Through July 29 va-rep.org/_west-side-story tickets.va-rep.org/events  Pool Time The Fourth doubles as a celebration of all things summer, so we hope you're water-bound this weekend. In last week's volume, we broke down enjoying the best of the James River. Now, we're going poolside with a few tactics for your consideration. First, did you know the city of Richmond maintains seven public pools as part of the parks system? Yes, you heard us right: free pool access. Check the schedule for open vs family vs adult swims. Consider checking into the Graduate for a staycation and bask rooftop by their pool with a drink in hand. And don't forget the classic: hit up your friends to tag along to their apartment or club pool!   Vitals: richmondgov.com/parks/AthleticsSwimming.aspx graduatehotels.com/richmond

We've been in the mood for a trip down to the James, so today we're bringing you the ultimate guide to the river!

VOL. 40  /  RIVER CITY They don’t call Richmond the River City for nothing. This week, we’re supplying you with the ultimate guide to the James for festivities to last this weekend, into the Fourth and all summer long. Let’s roll! P.S. We're hosting a private Boho Cycle ride + wine tasting for members on July 19! Initial details at the bottom of this newsletter... Riverside Outfitters Recent heavy rains have raised the water level and added a little zip to currents. That's not ideal for swimming, but those are perfect conditions for a guided rafting trip! Riverside Outfitters offers quite the variety of rafting trips for all adventure levels. The Lower River trip brings insane views of Richmond’s skyline plus Class III and IV rapids. Insider tip: this trip, among others, are discounted on weekdays! For our members chasing a thrill: check out the guided whitewater Duckie trips. June 29 (that's tomorrow!) is your last opportunity this season to catch a Friday evening sunset trip… think calm vibes and great views. Plus, when you get back to the shop, you’ll enjoy a drink under the stars. Talk about the dream Richmond evening.   Vitals: riversideoutfitters.net Pipeline Pacing If only walking on water were possible... well, you’ll come pretty close on The Pipeline. This metal catwalk stretches atop the giant stormwater pipe intersecting the river in downtown Richmond. Finding this secret spot is half the adventure! Drive to the address below in Vitals, turn left onto East Byrd Street, taking a path to the floodwall and pipeline parking. After parking, follow the gravel path along the outside of the floodwall until you find the Pipeline sign on your right. Just climb down the ladder, and you’re set! Go for the gorgeous views or hop off at various spots to relax on some sandy spots. P.S. it’s a fantastic photo opp!   Vitals: 261 S 12th St. theoutbound.com/pipeline-in-richmond  Reedy Creek To top off your river excursion, visit the main area of the James River Park System in Reedy Creek. There’s a few spots to find parking for easy access to this 2.6 mile trail stretching from the Atlantic Coast railroad to the Manchester Climbing Wall. While walking, biking or running along the trail you’ll find several secluded, peaceful spots to enjoy the river. If you’re looking for a new place to hike, take the Buttermilk Trail and then reward yourself with a nice picnic lunch.   Vitals: Parking located at: 4190 Riverside Dr. 4300 Riverside Dr.   You're Invited Members: we've long been obsessed with Boho Cycle, so we're pumped to host a private ride on Thursday, July 19.
