Many of us are working from home this week, and if you live in the Fan, you may have not left your house at all yet (except to get beer).

Well the good news is the roads aren’t NEARLY as bad as you think they are, and with the weather as beautiful as it is today, now’s the perfect time to go for a walk or hop on a bike and head out for some local eats.

We reached out to some local businesses to send us pics of food to help make you hungry and get you out of your house.

DO IT UP RVA! And have a cocktail or two while you’re out.

Check out the images below and notice the location tags for the restaurant’s locations!
