Loved the shops! so many and so different! Loved the thrift stores! The restaurants were incredible and having nacho mama's two doors down from a pedicure salon was even better!

Drove down to Carytown from a visit to the Hollywood Cemetary, parked on one of the decks and had a walk up and down, looking at the shops and restaurants. Carytown is worth a visit and a browse on a nice day. Wide range of small, individual businesses.

Lots of choices of places to eat and shop. I felt very safe walking there at night alone. A great place to go out with friends and families.

This is a great place to take out of town company, as well as a Saturday stroll when you want a leisurely, unique shopping adventure coupled with lunch. We appreciate the diversity of the shop choices, but so sorry that a favorite, Lane Sanson, closed a couple of years ago. Lots of fun shops-World of Mirth, Mongrel have managed to... More

This neighborhood is adorable! We strolled the promenade for a while stopping into all the different shops. We were particularly excited to stop in Need Supply Co. since we had only been able to shop online prior to being in Richmond. There are many places to stop and grab a bite to eat up and down the road. Basically come... More

Whenever I have out of town guests, I take them to Carytown. There are many boutiques, eateries and a brand of flavor reminiscent of Greenwich Village in NYC. There are bakeries, consignment shops and even if it is just window shopping, you will not be bored on Cary Street. Besides the many types of cuisine to tickle your taste buds,... More
