Arcade classics, craft cocktails, and eats that level up your night 🍔🍹🎮 only at !

Here’s what we ordered 👇
👑 Princess Peach happy hour cocktail – $7.50, an orange and peach flavored dream (happy hour ends at 7PM)
🍋 House Lemonade - $4.50, super sweet and refreshing
🍤 Bob-Omb Shrimp – $18, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, think bang bang shrimp but better!
🍗 Neo-Geo Pocket Sandwich – $19, packed with savory, spicy gochujang chicken, soft brioche buns, tangy cabbage slaw, and crisp pickles that created the perfect balance of flavor.

We were obsessed with the video game references in every corner of the restaurant. For just $5, we got 20 tokens and had a blast reliving our favorite childhood games! We played Mario Kart, Skee-Ball, Crazy Taxi, Pinball, and more while sipping our drinks and soaking in the retro vibes. But the fun doesn’t stop at games! They also host themed parties and events, making it the perfect spot to continue the night!

Please note: any guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult after 8:00 pm.

If you’re craving a throwback night filled with games, great food, and fun drinks, put Continues Arcade & Restaurant at the top of your list!

We love the program and we’re seriously inspired by all the grocery stores across the state making fresh, local food more affordable for everyone! 🥕🍎

If you use SNAP/EBT, you can get 50% off fresh and frozen fruits and veggies at these local grocery stores around the state. (This program is also available a lots of local farmer’s markets!)

🛒 E. Palmer Supermarket (Norfolk, VA) – This family-owned market has local produce, pantry staples, and a soul food kitchen serving up the best comfort food in town.

🛒 The Market at 25th (Richmond, VA) – This market in Church Hill has aisles named after local schools and a giant mural of Richmond’s history.

🛒 Wakefield Market (Wakefield, VA) – This market is of the only grocery stores for miles. This small-town gem makes sure rural families can fill their carts with fresh, healthy produce.

🛒 Market at PPL (Petersburg, VA) – Uniquely located inside the Petersburg Public Library, this spot offers local produce, household essentials, and grab-and-go meals, all while doubling the value of SNAP for fresh foods.

🛒 Farm Fresh Supermarket (Portsmouth, VA) – This international grocery store has everything from collards to dragon fruit.

Programs like Virginia Fresh Match are helping families eat healthier, support local farmers, and keep food dollars in their communities. 🫶

Latino Farmers Market founder America DeLoach (pictured) says this year "has been amazing — how much we have grown, how much I’ve learned. And the vendors that started the first year have gotten that shyness taken out of them, they have more courage.” (Latino Market VA)

The market operates every Saturday at Rockwood Park from April until the first weekend of November. That means there are only two Saturdays left to visit! Photos by Scott Elmquist. Link in comments.

I checked my order history and I’ve ordered 48 times this year. 🫣 I truly can’t let a weekend go by without it. They have two locations, one in Scott’s Addition and one in the fan. PLUS they now offer your bagel toasted, so if you’ve been waiting for that option, your time has come.

My go to is a Rosemary sea salt bagel with scallion cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumber, but sometimes I switch it up for a pizza bagel. (The pizza bagels are only available at Scott’s Addition)

Of course, we have a full list of our favorite bagel shops all around the state at VAFoodie.com ❤️

This delicious corn dip is perfect for a party! It’s easy to make, and this recipe was made for sharing! (AD) I made it in my 7 Quart Programmable Stay or Go Slow Cooker, which is perfect for this recipe! It even comes with a mini Party Dipper food warmer, perfect for sharing smaller portions! I love make-ahead recipes like this one so I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with family and friends! Whether you’re having people over for a dinner party or a game night, this slow cooker is my kitchen secret!

Comment “dip” and I’ll send you the recipe!

There are a lot of great taco spots in Richmond but my current obsession is Cochiloco. 😍

Of course we started with chips and salsa. They have a salsa bar with tons of options to try.

Then we got the Vegetariano Taco which is loaded with potatoes, beans, and cactus.

We also got an order of the tacos dorados which are potato fried tacos. They’re crispy on the outside and the potato filling is really light and fluffy.

They also have a full bar if you’re in the mood for beer or a margarita and they have a large patio so it’s perfect for this fall weather!
