& Bacon Truffles
That headline -- yeah, we know. Sometimes our favorite part of Richmond is its ability to surprise us.
Blue Bee Cider is doing just that with help from Full Belly Delights, a gourmet bacon and treats maker. They are pairing two flights of ciders with… bacon truffles. Here's a taste: the Rocky Ridge Reserve cider meets the Give Me S'more truffle.
Tasting and sipping happen on Sunday, but act now: the pairings are available through reservation only, and today is the last day to order!

Good Food
What's better than no-nonsense, cheap and delicious food? Answer: all that but with a Jean-Claude Van Damme kung fu dive bar theme.
This Sunday, pop-up restaurant series Gold Cart takes over Flora to bring back a fan-favorite theme. (Their Jean-Claude Van Brunch and the kung pow chicken and waffles caused quite the stir.) They will be serving up General Tso fried chicken and house-made wontons with dollar PBRs and $6 cocktails.
Dinner service starts at 6pm, but they'll transition to a late-night bar style with a DJ as the night goes on -- and the party doesn't stop until 2am.
Vitals:
Sunday, March 11 / 6pm-2am

Two Ballet
Taking in a Richmond Ballet performance once a year is a must. We reviewed the season's programming and narrowed the field for you. This month's Studio Two: New Works Festival is your moment, especially if you're new to ballet.
Prior to the festival, four choreographers who have no history with Richmond Ballet meet dancers for the first time. Then, they have only 25 hours spread over one week to develop and practice a 10- or 15-minute piece. The result: a fresh and creative collaboration that unfolds before your eyes.
