Charm School for Ice Cream. Shyndigz is the most known cake/dessert bar.

WPA bakeries on southside and in church hill are so good! Visit For the Love of Chocolate in Carytown for candy. I love Perlys for fat deli sandwiches and big ol yummy garlic fries. Honestly your vacation sounds fun. I would love to eat junk food, relax, and get drunk in a hot tub. Hope you have a great time.

Galaxy Diner for the Black Hole Pancakes!!!

Sticky rice has a bucket of tater tots with sriracha mayo that is the bomb. Shyndigz has dessert the size of your head. Charm school’s ice cream is fantastic.

City Dogs for hot dogs and tater tots. Cheap and good.

If you are going to be in the Museum District, you gotta go to Chiocca's. 425 N Belmont Ave

Shyndigz, get some cake with a side of ice cream (not listed on the menu as an option but totally worth it)
Iazerblazer replied:
Shindigz is great, they have a takeout place next door to the main restaurant so you can have your cake and hot tub too :)

Morsels! It's a bit out of the way north of the fan, but everything there is absolutely delicious.

Sounds like you need the Nuclear Waste Dog and a pitcher of PBR at Galaxy Diner! Walking distance from the VMFA.

Don't Look Back for junky tacos. Joes Inn for massive cheap portions. Boulevard Burgers and Brew for fast food style burgers and shakes. Definitely more that I can't think of at the moment.

Havarti burger at The Camel. Wish McCormack's still had the Heart Attack.

So like bar food? I'm partial to sidewalk. Great dinner specials Thurs-Sat too. The village too. Get the cheese fries. They're a delicious heart attack.

Pearl's Bake Shoppe (Patterson/Libbie) for pastries (cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, cheese straws, ham biscuits, etc. etc. SO GOOD. They have gluten free, and vegan items daily - and NOW they have cupcakes that are BOTH gluten free AND vegan.

I'm partial to Gelati Celesti for ice cream. If stopping by Scotts Addition, hit that up along with [Dessert Diva](https://www.facebook.com/thedessertdivarva/). I tried their apple and cherry pies and they were great.

Several good answers here already, but Treat Shop RVA and Brewer's Waffles (best milkshake in RVA, fight me) should also be on your list.
beamishbo replied:
I just ate lunch but I'm hungry after reading this thread. Others have said but I'll second Village, Galaxy Diner, or City Dogs. Mi Jalisco if you want Mexican. Shyndygz for sweets or a Boulevard Burger milkshake (some come with booze, and they have good tots too)
