The modern high-rises
towering over Norfolk's historic riverfront demonstrate this city's
delightful cocktail of past and present. A major seaport and naval
base, Norfolk's reputation as a raucous sailor port has all but
faded, though their charm inherently remains. Foodies will be
especially pleased with the amazing flavors served up hot along the
riverfront and a bustling nightlife that blooms after dark. |

ONE
THING YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS! |
|
|
|
|
Don't miss Norfolk's center
of downtown revitalization, the Waterside. Sip a cocktail and watch
the sun kiss the glass and steel as it fades into the horizon. The
area's character is best observed after dark at any one of the many
fine dining establishments on the water. |

How
about some shopping! |
|
 |
|
|
|
Make sure you budget time for
a trip to MacArthur Center, Norfolk's newest $300 million shopping
destination. Pace yourself, the 9 square blocks is a lot to work in
one afternoon. Have a hankering for antiques? Norfolk is the place!
The Ghent area is perfect for finding that accent chair for a formal
dining room, or a wonderful outfit accent in a vintage piece of jewelry. |

Get
a Taste of Local Flavors |
|
 |
|
|
|
Foodies from all over flock
to Granby Street, also known as Restaurant Row. Stroll the sidewalk
and let your nose be your guide as flavors mingle liberally in the
riverfront air. Spanish Tapas, traditional Japanese sushi, seafood,
Cubano-influenced delectables and Southwestern and Caribbean fare are
all available for sampling. Hip little bistros pop up all the time,
so don't skimp on adventurous taste testing. But wherever you dine,
save room for a waffle cone at Doumar's, where old-fashioned carhops
will hustle your tempting treat right to your car. |
