Below, you\u2019ll find our suggestions of how you could spend a day in our beloved backyard, but this is really just the start of the journey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curating this list was one of the most difficult things we\u2019ve had to do this year. Sacrifices were made. Bargains were struck. Compromises were reached. But our pain is your gain, so let\u2019s go!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>8:00 a.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlottesville has a lot of great breakfast options, but most UVA alumni would tell you to head straight to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodosbagels.com\/locations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bodo\u2019s Bagels<\/a> (multiple area locations). Bodo\u2019s is a Charlottesville institution and known for its consistency, affordability and quick service (don\u2019t be deterred by the line!). Believe it or not, g<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">etting the No. 1 ticket of the day (Bodo\u2019s organizes orders by ticket numbers) is on many UVA students\u2019 bucket lists. It\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all<\/span> good, but we recommend the &#8220;Deli Egg&#8221; on everything<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More of a biscuit person? We are big fans of the ham biscuit at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stockprovisions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JM Stock Provisions<\/a>. A biscuit. Tasso ham. Honey. A dash of hot sauce. Perfection. Prefer a pastry? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebette.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marie Bette<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paradoxpastrycafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paradox Pastry<\/a> are both worth your time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast, grab a cup of coffee at one of C-ville\u2019s many excellent coffee purveyors. <a href=\"https:\/\/shenandoahjoe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shenandoah Joe<\/a> (multiple area locations) is always a solid choice. More of a cold brew enthusiast? Check out Darden alumnus <a href=\"https:\/\/news.darden.virginia.edu\/2018\/07\/27\/snowing-in-space-coffee\/\">Damian Warshall&#8217;s<\/a> (MBA &#8217;14) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/snowinginspace.com\/\">Snowing in Space<\/a> in the West Main\/Midtown area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Pro Tip:<\/em> If you\u2019re visiting on a Saturday in the summer or fall, be sure to swing by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlottesville.org\/departments-and-services\/departments-h-z\/parks-recreation\/city-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charlottesville City Market<\/a>. Hours vary by season, but the market is generally open from 8:00 a.m. until Noon\/1:00 pm, and it features over 100 vendors selling everything from artisanal kombucha to heirloom zucchini.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>10:00 a.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, check out the Central Grounds of the University. As you\u2019ve likely heard, the University of Virginia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and no trip to C-ville is complete without a meander on Grounds. The Lawn is the iconic heart of UVA and home to <a href=\"https:\/\/rotunda.virginia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Rotunda<\/a>. Rotunda historical tours are offered at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. every day during the academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just off the Lawn, you will find the forthcoming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.virginia.edu\/slaverymemorial\/design.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which will open to the public this fall.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Noon<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For lunch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takeitawaysandwichshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Take It Away<\/a> on The Corner is always a popular choice, featuring soups, salads, sandwiches on fresh baked bread and their famous house dressing, which is available for purchase by the jar. A few blocks away, you will find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rootsnaturalkitchen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roots Natural Kitchen,<\/a> a bowl concept that falls somewhere between Chipotle and Sweetgreen. Roots is so popular with Darden students that the restaurant offers daily delivery to Darden. Students can place their order by the end of First Coffee and have a delish salad or bowl by the end of class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those interested in venturing beyond The Corner for lunch, catch the free Trolley at the UVA Chapel stop and head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcharlottesville.org\/listing\/charlottesville-historic-downtown-mall\/337\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Mall<\/a>, C-ville\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pedestrian mall and cultural heart. For lunch, try the tacos at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebebedero.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Bebedero<\/a>, a burger at Citizen Burger (and don\u2019t forget the truffle fries) or, for a true blast from the past, a sandwich and lemonade at Timberlake\u2019s Drug Store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>1:00 p.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After lunch, we recommend a stroll on the Downtown Mall. The mall features stores, restaurants, no less than four live music venues, Virginia\u2019s oldest independent bookseller and more. In short, there is a lot to see (and do). If you\u2019re in need of refreshment, ice cream (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.splendoras.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Splendora\u2019s<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/chapsicecream.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chaps<\/a>), pie (<a href=\"https:\/\/thepiechestcville.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Pie Chest<\/a>), crepes (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theflat.co\/\">The Flat<\/a>) and coffee (<a href=\"https:\/\/mudhouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mudhouse<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/gritcoffee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grit<\/a>) are all close at hand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>2:00 p.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, head out of town for a few hours. Take a hike or visit a local vineyard, brewery or cidery. Charlottesville is about a 20-minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the area features a\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of excellent hikes. Humpback Rock is a short (but steep!) hike with incredible sunrise and sunset views and can easily be completed in an afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monticellowinetrail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Monticello Wine Trail<\/a> features over 30 vineyards within 30 miles of Cville, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/brewridgetrail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brew Ridge Trail<\/a>, home to five breweries, is just a 30-minute drive from Grounds. Of course, this is all just an excuse to be outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Charlottesville in the fall is pretty magical, and no autumnal sojourn is complete without a little leaf peeping.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>6:00 p.m<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the early evening, head back to town for dinner. Rather than recommending a single restaurant (which would be way too hard), we encourage you to explore two neighborhoods \u2014 Belmont and West Main\/Midtown. Both are home to some of C-ville\u2019s best restaurants and offer dining options at a variety of price points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Near Belmont, local favorites include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mastapas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mas<\/a> (tapas), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lampopizza.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lampo<\/a> (pizza), <a href=\"https:\/\/tavolavino.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tavola<\/a> (Italian) and <a href=\"http:\/\/brazostacos.com\/wp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brazos<\/a> (tacos). In Midtown\/West Main, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakhartsocial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakhart Social<\/a> (farm to table), <a href=\"http:\/\/orzokitchen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orzo<\/a> (mediterranean-inspired), <a href=\"https:\/\/littlestarrestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Little Star<\/a> (Mexican\/Spanish fusion) and Continental Divide (southwestern). This just might be your toughest decision of the day, but, as we always say, if one dinner is good, two dinners is better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>8:00 p.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After dinner, entertainment awaits. Check out the concert schedule at one of C-ville\u2019s many music venues. Charlottesville has a vibrant music scene and a venue for seemingly every level of performer. Larger shows will pass through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sprintpavilion.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sprint Pavilion<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpauljonesarena.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Paul Jones arena<\/a> while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeffersontheater.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Jefferson Theater<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theparamount.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paramount Theater<\/a> feature established acts in a more intimate setting. Prefer indie and emerging artists? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesoutherncville.com\/events\/all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Southern<\/a> on the Downtown Mall is your best bet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For cinephiles, the <a href=\"https:\/\/charlottesville.violetcrown.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Violet Crown<\/a> is not to be missed. With a bar and restaurant as well as higher-end concessions, the Violet Crown is far from your average movie theater. It features contemporary movie selections as well as classic cuts (your Discover Darden bloggers are particularly excited about the Hal Ashby retrospective that is currently underway). <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-ville is home to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/charlottesville.violetcrown.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virginia Film Festival<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, featuring 150 films in 5 days. The 2019 event is scheduled for 23\u201327 October. Save the date!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>10:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap up the day with a nightcap at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LostSaintBar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lost Saint<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/alleylight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alley Light<\/a>, home of some of Charlottesville&#8217;s best cocktails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this is just a starting point, and, as we noted at the outset, this (rather long) list could have been much, much longer. It\u2019s always a great time to visit Charlottesville, but fall may just be the best time to visit Charlottesville.
