Meet Elle Correll, this week’s guest editor. She’s the co-owner of Buskey Cider, Scott’s Addition’s original cidery and one of the most innovative cideries in the region. When she isn’t designing the next cider label or working a beer festival she’s planning her next travel adventure, rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals, looking for chances to speak Spanish, or melting over an adorable Boston Terrier. Take it away Elle ...
Sugar's
Crab Shack
I always love shrimp and one of the city’s gems is Sugar’s Crab Shack. Located in Northside, this black-owned restaurant serves up some of the best shrimp I’ve ever had, and it’s obvious from the lines of enthusiastic hungry people at all times of day that a lot of Richmonders agree! My top choice is always the fried shrimp, but snag a Sugar’s Sampler to try a generous portion sized variety of fried trout, crab, and oysters! I love having Sugar’s takeout for a picnic at nearby Battery Park.
As a tea drinker, I was thrilled to hear that a tea shop was opening in Scott’s Addition close to work! T.Caf Salon de Thé is located on the corner of Marshall and Altamont, and has an incredible selection of teas (working on trying them all!) and premium bites in one of the most unique, comfortable, and elegant spaces in town. I really love the canapes, which are small slices of French bread with deluxe ingredients on top, and my favorite is the canape roquefort poire (roquefort cheese and pear).
Richmond is full of great outdoor options, but the addition of Cutshaw Park next to Broad Street in Scott’s Addition added some really nice green space for the neighborhood. Grab a to-go coffee from Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Co. next door, and enjoy working remotely from one of the picnic tables under the large trees.
Vitals:
Cutshaw Pocket Park / Cutshaw Ave. and Broad St.
