[@LaurenZRay]

What’s your favorite thing to do in Richmond? 😍💚👇

[@musicbyLUKAS]

Spending time with you!❤🎉

[@musicbyLUKAS]

That boat ride was so much fun and all the food! Best week in Richmond so far I think🔥

As a non-Richmond native, do you find that Richmonders will leave comments about not knowing about some of the places that you go to? I live right outside of downtown, so I am finding all of these places fascinating.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@Hotrodchef89 totally! Richmond locals (even born & raised) come up to me all the time and tell me they never knew certain things I share (both here and on Instagram). Of course they know many and even some of those they say that my videos have re-inspired them to explore more.

@@LaurenZRay Your Christmas video gave me some new ideas to do with my best friend. Her and I love Christmas but always do the same thing. I like the idea of the hotel golf and looking at expensive houses and how they decorate for Christmas.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@Hotrodchef89 omg yes!! That’s the best. Also the Xmas time is so much fun & Richmond has so many great things going on. We love it too!

[@Hotrodchef89]

@@LaurenZRay FYI I love your videos, you and Lucas seem so cool and fun!!!

[@LaurenZRay]

@@Hotrodchef89 thank you!! I think we are cool and fun too haha 😝😍

[@JimTeller]

So, I have a question. How do you find out about all these fun things to do? I mean, I know about the obvious ones like Maymont, Belle Isle, Canal Walk, etc. but what I love about your channel is that you find things to do that I would love but that I wouldn't think of like the soccer game a while back, the food tours, renting a retro on the James!

[@musicplusink]

I’m in Henrico close to Richmond but I haven’t done these things lol there are decent food places but I haven’t done been eating carnivore for a while now so it can be a bit challenging to find stuff with no carbs or sugar…

Moved to Richmond in 1995. Worked at the Fed. My office was half way up the building half across the building looking over the river.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@cw7422 that would be such a cool view!! Was it the same building that it is today?

[@nancyjeannotte9466]

My questions : how you and Lucas earn an income ? Do you miss traveling abroad? How did you become vegan? Thanks for your content!

[@swmrgirl9979]

If you're harry potter fans you have to go back to staunton for queen city mischief and magic weekend!

[@LaurenZRay]

[@LaurenZRay]

@@josephwc95 Zorch (interesting flavors & by the slice), Fire & Hops (wood fired like Italy), Pizza Bones (sourdough crust), Hot for Pizza (open late, fun vibes & interesting specials) 🍕😍

[@mayawalart6196]

I recommend bottoms up pizza, born and raised in Richmond

[@vs0063]

​@@mayawalart6196hands down Bottoms Up Pizza is the best!

[@rayroberts2165]

Have you tried the fresh squeezed orange juice from Libbie Market?

[@LaurenZRay]

[@adriannauhlar5332]

[@LaurenZRay]

@@adriannauhlar5332 Holy Chic, I get them done by Sierra but I’ve also had them done by Rachel & Kenya before. Here’s the google link - maps.app.goo.gl/s2MxoYPJ46ReDH2a9?g_st=ic You can tell them I sent you too! 😊💚

[@matthewreynolds3500]

I’m researching Richmond for my upcoming move & since I was born there, it’s more special because it’s like I’m learning about where I’m from at the same time! For KZbin deep dives into Richmond’s history I found this to be deeply enjoyable! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4KWgZRvd9KIn9E My question is what is one type of business that Richmond is missing but needs?
