The Washington Post strolls down Cary Street
In the Washington Post’s Sunday “Road Trip” section, the paper featured Cary Street, venturing from Carytown to the Bottom. Overall, the paper had very complimentary things to say about Carytown…
Carytown, on the far western edge, is known as the Mile of Style. The vibe is unapologetically bohemian, thanks to offbeat art stores, acupuncture offices and a beatnik-style cafe that serves up strong coffee and polemical diners. The sights are mainly retail but are heads above the usual mall finds. You can camp it up in pink flamingo sunglasses from World of Mirth, for example, or go L.A. chic in a Pade Vavra snake necklace from nearby Pink.
You may remember The New York Times’ visit to Richmond last year, which gave similar reviews, even saying “HIP Richmond is in Carytown.”
