New Town Dining

In our weekend adventures through New Town in Williamsburg, one of the things that we loved about the area was that there was no lack of good food. So many options! Although we couldn't hit all the amazing restaurants in New Town, we managed a culinary experience at quite a few spots...

If you are looking for an easy, familiar and low-priced meal, there is a Panera Bread at the end of the main street. Want something high class? Opus 9 came highly recommended by several people we encountered along the way. Ichiban, right next to the theatre has an amazing atmosphere, great food, and all you can eat sushi during lunch. Z Pizza is right across the way, if that is what you are craving.

Cogan's Sports Pub came highly recommended as well. We opted for a stop at Buffalo Wild Wings so we could catch up on the Olympics while we were there... Later on, we discovered the Green Leafe - a friendly, local watering hole. Great service, great drinks.

Our favorite part of the culinary experience were the dessert portions! The fro-yo at Sweet Frog was incredible. The do-it-yourself set up was fun and the flavors and toppings were delicious. One of there newer shops was Williamsburg Cupcake. Best cupcake ever.


And that, friends, isn't even all of the places there. That means that there is a trip back to New Town Williamsburg in our future to finish exploring... Until then, check it out for yourself and let us know what we missed!

New Town: Shopping Edition

So now we move on to the important stuff: shopping. It's an essential for every vacation. Or everyday really, but that may be an opinion. And if you had to pick the most prominent feature of Williamsburg, you would probably say... well, history, but after history, you would definitely say shopping! A lot of awesome shopping venues around town, but we submit to you New Town as our top pick. There is literally something for everyone in that vein too.

If you want to find unique shops, be sure to check them out. Paisley, The Nautical Dog and The Mole Hole were some of the specialty shops we wandered in, but we also found a music shop, jewelry store, stationery shop, candy store and a cigar shop - all of which were delightful!

We also had the chance to pop in a great variety of old favorites including Ann Taylor, White House, Black Market, Victoria's Secret, and Joanne Fabrics. We even popped in Barnes and Noble to browse, borrow the wi-fi, and grab a cup of coffee.

One of our absolute favorites was a store that just opened called Charming Charlie's. If you need accessories, they are the store for you. It was absolutely amazing. And apparently you can hold private events there too!

After exploring, we checked out the movie theatre in the center of town. It was the perfect addition to our visit. And we definitely enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises for a second time. All this to say and we haven't even gotten to the dining experiences yet! So stay tune for more adventures in New Town...

Painting the New Town Red!

This weekend's adventure took us to New Town in Williamsburg. If you haven't had a chance to explore New Town, you are missing an adventure! We definitely didn't get to make it to all the stores, but we managed to take in quite a few. There was way more to do than we could discuss in a single blog post, so let us start with the basics of what New Town has to offer.

New Town is Williamsburg's premiere living, dining, and shopping central location. It is conveniently located in the middle of Williamsburg, just a few miles from the historic Colonial Williamsburg area of town, as well as near a great number of hotels, resorts, and other vacation rentals. One of the best parts about New Town is that you can stop in for a few hours to do some shopping or take in some of their other entertainments, or spend a whole day there and take in some of their dining options.





If you are a local to the area, you have the opportunity to live in this delightful neighborhood. The shopping and dining options are interspersed with lovely townhouses, condos, and house that make a charming little village. With New Town being so, well, new, there are still some houses being built, but also availability in some of their completed dwellings as well, so be sure to check it out if you are in the market. Also, they have a post office, banks, medical offices and daycare right there to make it even more convenient!

All that to say, New Town literally has it all and whether you have a few minutes, hours, days or a life time, there is plenty there for you to do, so be sure to stop by. And stay tuned for more blog posts about some of our favorite shops and dining experiences!
