Food Scene

There are at least three SJ's around town, but this is the largest one with the most seating. It can get crowded pretty quickly but if you can snag a seat it's a great place to read, hang out, or get some work done.

The pedestrian outdoor mall has everything: food, drinks, local shopping, and lots of cute dogs to look at! Definitely a place to check out when you're visiting Charlottesville. It's not your average shopping mall, it's a unique place! Fridays after 5 are live music shows that take place in the Sprint Pavilion at the end of the mall during the warmer months.

Essentials

This is my Kroger of choice b/c it's not usually the place that students go to. It also has a liquor store and gas station. The whole foods is right across the street if you need something a bit fancier.
