vol. 43 / on a roll 🌀Let's get the ball rolling on this whole weekend thing...
VOL. 43 / ON A ROLL
Thanks to all of you who stopped by The Brunch Market on Sunday! It was so fun to meet some members and welcome new ones. Keep the upcoming markets on your radar; based on the amazing vendors this past weekend, you can count on plenty more in the future.
Fun perk for you in today's newsletter, and your last chance to sign up for our Boho ride tonight!
Weekend, here we come!
Maven
Made
We’re not beauty experts, not by a long shot. Which explains why we were so skeptical of the facial serum sample we received at Rebelle Con last November. What even is facial serum? (Again, not beauty experts.)
It took us several months to try that little blue vial from Richmond’s own Maven Made, and now we regret every day this miracle wasn’t in our lives. We. are. obsessed. Addicted. But in a healthy, self-care-y way.
Maven Made’s facial serum has drastically improved our skin and has given us major glow. Plus, we love the zen ritual of the evening application. It just feels like a treat, and the smell is dreamy. #notsponsored
We’re hooking you up with a perk (which we’re using on those astrological rollers): use code HEREMAVEN for 15% off purchases through July 31!
Proudly standing at the corner of S. Allen & W. Cary, this shiny new (and orange!) establishment seriously brings it. The bagels are hot and fresh like the coffee, and we highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches (our fav was The Glamper).
The shop is the fun kind of busy, so grab a friend and head there for a quick breakfast this weekend!
River City Roll makes for a solid night out. It’s a complete experience: drink, food, activity. Bring a pack of friends or a first date.
Our signature bowling alley move (questionable that we have one…) is, when inputting your names on the screen, skip your given names and use famous diva or sports star names. Imagine hollering that it’s Cher’s turn or congratulating LeBron on his strike.
While you’re playing, you’ll obviously need nourishment. This isn’t average bowling alley food. The seasonal menus are adventurous but approachable, and the fries… unreal.
Oh, you like living on the edge and waiting until the very last minute to book tonight's Boho ride and wine tasting?! Or did your plans for tonight fall through? You're in luck; we have a few spots left...
Reserve a remaining spot now, and, while you're at it, why not invite a friend to do the same?
vol. 42 / invites ✉Come hang with us at The Brunch Market this Sunday, then at our private Boho Cycle ride!
VOL. 42 / INVITES
We couldn’t be more pumped for this week’s line-up, so we will waste no time diving in. Come hang with us at two awesome events! One even has a member-only surprise accessed via secret code. Plus, a meaningful opportunity to give back.
Richmond, we love ya.
Brunch Market
x Here.
This Sunday, Here. is being featured at The Brunch Market!! Yup, we’ll be selling our Rep T-Shirts as well as a limited run of this super cute new item. Come to say hi to us, stay for the biscuits…
This monthly market has all of the fun local shopping, plus jams from one of our faves, DJ Ant Boogie. And brunch, of course, in the form of biscuits.
Our shopping list: Superior Creamery for micro-batch gelato and sweets, Shamblin Shop for vibrant handcrafted ceramics, and Nina Zabal for colorful statement jewelry.
PLUS. When you find our Here. table, use codeword “pineapple” to receive a special member-only treat!

Boho Private Ride
In which we work out together and then drink wine.
On Thursday, July 19, Here. is taking over Boho’s Museum District studio for a private ride! And we want you to come! Obviously. Your finish line reward? We will offer a well-earned wine tasting from Veritas Vineyard & Winery: red, white and bubbly.
It’s often hard to figure how to give back. Good news: we found an awesome, easy opportunity for you.
We recently discovered Stay RVA and identified with their mission of making Richmond a place people want to stay.
Among their many programs, Stay RVA hosts what they call Stay Days, in which the community is invited to support Richmond youth via school beautification projects.
Their next Stay Day is on July 21, when volunteers will head out to either Thomas Jefferson High School in the West End or Fisher Elementary School in Southside to beautify those spaces. All you need is a paintbrush! Good feels guaranteed.
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!
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.
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!
