Meet Brandon Day, this week’s guest editor! A former amateur astrologist and current Topo Chico addict, Brandon is the Director of Marketing at Belle Isle Moonshine, the makers of Richmond’s fave line of premium moonshine and canned cocktails. When he’s not hand-modeling to show off Belle Isle’s latest seasonal release, you can find him out and about celebrating all of the fantastic creators, entrepreneurs, and entertainers that make our city so special. Take it away, Brandon ...
Funky
Finds
On Fridays, I like to cut out a little early (don’t tell my boss, lol) and swing by my favorite vintage store, Boho To Go. Jen, the owner and curator of this awesome collection of vintage furniture and cool finds, is one of the coolest folks in the game. They work super-hard to find unique pieces from all over, then price them reasonably so they can find a loving, new home. It is physically impossible for me to go and not leave with something new for my ever-growing gallery wall.
It’s officially Pride Month, and I can’t think of a better way to kick it off than by brunching with your besties and showing love to your local queens. There’s nothing quite like slamming back a Bloody Mary while someone simultaneously drops into the splits in front of you. I’ll be popping by Drag Brunch at The Camel on Saturday, hosted by the stunning and hysterical Chicki Parm. If you can’t make it this time, fret not! You can catch this show every first Saturday of the month at The Camel. Just don’t forget to bring cash for the queens! JK - they take Venmo too.
There’s a lot of tasty slices around the city, but none of them hit the spot quite like Zorch Pizza. I’m an absolute sucker for the “Upside Down” specialty pie, but you can’t go wrong with a slice of their classic New York-style pepperoni. I’m so stoked for the opening of their highly-anticipated Carytown brick-and-mortar, but this weekend you’ll find me grabbing a slice from their truck at The Veil on Sunday.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this weekend also marks the celebration of National Moonshine Day! To celebrate, we’re giving Here. readers free delivery/shipping on their next order of Belle Isle Moonshine. Just use the promo code “HERE” at checkout!
And make sure to check out our new LEMON LAVENDER. We combined our award-winning premium moonshine with real lemon and fresh lavender to create a bright, botanical infusion that’s perfect for a cheeky cocktail on the front porch. It's absolutely delicious in your favorite gin cocktail, with a splash of lemonade, or just with seltzer and tonic on top.
