Sen Organic Juice Nook
What it is: A juice shop from fan-favorite Sen Organic and featuring only organic ingredients
Why we love it: Sen Organic has brought RVA only the finest shops and stores in RVA. Added to the lineup of Sen Organic Flowers, Sen Organic Small Plate, Sen Organic Day Spa, and Sen Organic Farmers Market is Sen Organic Juice Nook, serving organic juices made with raw ingredients in an industrial-grade hydraulic cold press juicer — which, BTW, is renowned for its efficiency and avoids introducing heat or oxygen, ensuring the purest, most nutrient-dense juice available.

Richmond Olive Oil Co.
What it is: Your next go-to shop for olive oils, balsamic vinegars, food items, beer, and wine
Why we love it: Really good olive oil is hard to come by, but Richmond Olive Oil Co. — a brick-and-mortar extension of Robert Granados's curated selection of imported and lab-tested olive oils — aims to bring only the best to RVA. This shop has over 40 varieties and flavors of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (starting around $25 a bottle), plus imported European snacks, pastas, wine, and beer.

All-You-Can-Eat Dumplings on Sundays at And Dim Sum
What it is: A modern Chinese cocktail house that now offers all-you-can-eat dumplings every Sunday
Why we love it: Dumplings are one of those comfort foods that just make you feel so happy when you eat them. And Dim Sum is capitalizing on our collective love for that comfort *and* a pretty sweet deal. The AYCE price is set at $24, and you can eat until your heart's content.

What it is: The soon-to-open second location of Zorch Pizza, where some people say you can find the best pizza in all of Richmond
