We just spent a long weekend in Charlottesville Virginia, visiting friends and attending the North American Wine Bloggers Conference. I knew that Charlottesville was a very beautiful city that I was looking forward to seeing but I never knew that it is such a great foodie city. This is the first of many posts on what we discovered and enjoyed there.
It is a 6-7 hour drive from Montclair, NJ if you time your travel to avoid rush hour traffic. It is all interstate highway until you leave Interstate below DC and enter local roads in VA. Route 20 is a beautiful drive that takes you to C'ville. We put the top down and enjoyed the scenery.
Our first dinner was at an excellent "Farm to Table" restaurant called The Local in the revived Belmont section of Charlottesville. The Local is a very hip place with great atmosphere, booze and amazing food. More Here
