Hamburgers and Wine in Charlottesville VAThe area in and around Charlottesville’s Barracks Rd shopping center is getting a real assortment of new restaurants and eateries.  Fine by us.  We like to eat.    They range from national chain restaurants to more Virginia-based operations.  If you’ve followed our blog accounts of new eateries in C’ville…. you can see how we might end up being known for restaurants, maybe even before the words “Thomas Jefferson” have described us.   Full descriptions are in THIS LINK.

A brief overview of new eateries are described in the above link.   From Sedona Taphouse which will feature dozens of international and local beers, and of course they feature wines and martinis as well ….  to Zinburger Wine and Burger Bar, which as the name implies, gives you an upscale burger with selected wine to complement it … to Zoe’s Kitchen with its Greek, vegetarian, Mediterranean offerings … we have plenty of new food places to explore.   So many eateries.  So little time.
