Who’s ready for Spring Break? Our City Editors took Friday off to spend more time out and about in the River City — Robin grabbed a Irish cream cold brew from Rostov’s and David took his cat for a cruise down Riverside Drive.

Today’s newsletter is designed to help you enjoy longer days in Richmond — take a look at our favorite live music venues, family-friendly activities, recommended hiking trails, and our guide to local museums.
