Updated: Friday, February 19 12:30pm
If you’re like me, you’re eager to get out of the house. So that’s why I’m excited to be visiting the First Fridays Art Walk venues this coming Friday night. Let’s just call it a “First Fridays Redux.” So join me on this Friday, February 19 and take in new exhibitions, unique shopping and some incredible dining. Here’s a run down of who will be open on Friday, but be sure to check back as we get closer to Friday for any updates. I’ll also be posting updates on Twitter, so be sure to follow me at: firstfridaysrva
See You Downtown!
