If you're looking for an authentic neighborhood eatery, you won't have to search far. Nearly every corner of the Fan, Shockoe Slip and Cary Street has a locally-owned and operated dining establishment – whether you're looking for an outdoor table to enjoy a quick burger and fries, or an intimate, candlelit corner to celebrate a special occasion.
