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!

The High Life at High Street

Happy Monday, all! We hope you had a wonderful weekend. We definitely did! This weekend, we took some time in Williamsburg to visit a favorite area, High Street. If you haven't had a chance to check it out, you really should! If you are coming into the area for a visit, be sure to plan to spend an afternoon or evening checking the place out.

We popped into Quirks of Art first for look through the delightful collections. The name is quite appropriate for the stock they carry. The art work, jewelry and other specialty items has selections that are lovely, unique and some great conversation starters! Whether you need a something festive to add to your own decor or a quirky gift for someone else, we can assure you that it is currently waiting for you at Quirks of Art.

After that, we made a stop at the always fabulous Plaza Azteca. The menu is a selection of the most delicious and authentic Mexican dishes. Plaza Azteca also has a phenomenal atmosphere both with their indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed their patio where live music was playing and can't even begin to describe how amazing the fresh guacamole was!

After our amazing dining experience, we headed over to Movie Tavern to take in a showing. We opted for drinks and dessert, but their food selection was impressive and incredibly reasonable in price. We definitely want to check out the King Kong burger on our next visit. Our order items were great and staff and atmosphere were wonderful. And we are pleased to say the new Spiderman movie was worth a view!

High Street is conveniently located off Richmond Rd. just a short trip from the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area and the College of William and Mary Campus. Whether visiting or an area local, there is a good time to be had by all. Stop by today!
