Men's Journal, a magazine "for the most active, affluent and influential men," named Richmond one of the "50 best places to live in America" in its April issue.
Why is Richmond such an awesome place to live, according to Men's Journal?
Our food scene, of course.
Richmond, Virginia*
"This bastion of the Old South — complete with cobblestoned streets and blocks of historic row houses — has seen an influx of young newcomers attracted by a strong economy and the bike-friendly, DIY vibe. With easy access to Virginia's fertile farms and rugged coast, chefs here are adding modern twists to Southern classics, like the black-eyed pea falafel at Pasture and the wood-fired Virginia scallops at Rappahannock.
*Best City for Food: For some of us, a nice house, a decent job, and the great outdoors are not enough — it's not the good life without good food. These towns have the restaurants, chefs, and markets to make any foodie feel right at home."
