Places that opened, reopened, or earned a mention this month — the ones we'd go back to.
Rooftop vibes, local views: Seven floors up with James River panoramas, 7 Rooftop Bar pairs stacked burgers and handcrafted cocktails with weekly happenings like Cigars + Trivia, Rooftop Karaoke, and Sunset Sessions, all under the glow of fire pits and that slick glass-top railing.
Your midweek nature fix: Skip the doomscroll and wander the Alpine Trail to the Overlook for legit James River views, then geek out at the vintage locomotive, the Fink Deck Truss Bridge, and the hull of the packet boat Marshall.
Summer splash fix: Riverside Park Sprayground is 1,900 square feet of pure splash therapy, with squirting water, spitting frogs and dumping buckets running all summer.
