Pjay’s kitchen in Norfolk. Fish and grits was so good. Very good cocktails.

I didn't even know this place existed. My sister was visiting from out of town, and I needed us to have a great experience and searched what was there to do in my city, and this popped up right away. The only thing was we weren't prepared to pay 40 each to get in. They were having some type of Mermaids and Beer function, and food trucks were outside, so we had to make the decision to eat or pay. Of course we decided to eat! And we saw people getting on these ferry boats to ride around the bay. We walked down to the pier and took the ride over to Portsmouth for 4 round trip. Don't give them a 5 bill because they haven't any way to give you change, so I had to eat that dollar! You must have the correct change. There wasn't really anything to see that we knew about in Portsmouth, so we just got back on the boat to come back to Norfolk. We walked the pier and saw a big blue chair, and took pics there. The food trucks looked really good, so we walked back past them, but the best one was a turkey leg smothered in creamy mac & and cheese, but that was a whole 35! I guess we could've split it, but we decided against it this time and came home. It was a great experience overall. I would just suggest you have some long money when going there because it's most definitely not cost effective. But lots of fun!

So Beautiful. And the little nooks and streets in Norfold VA where there are cobblestone streets and old school Freemason remnants really reminded me of Boston. Home. Plus the FREEMASON ABBEY IS EXQUISITE. Such a cool vibe.

Good eats, arcade, fun place to go for a little site seeing

Huge shoutout and Thank you to Jen & Lauren for allowing #SalemHighSchool to use the venue for pictures before prom. Absolutely beautiful venue (Harbor Club) 10/10 recommend!!

My wife and I had a great date night.

Waterside District was absolutely Amazing!! I truly can't say enough about this awesome treasure. The parking is very cheap, Its right across the street in a parking garage.It is 3 for 2hrs. I thought this was beyond reasonable. After parking you can elevator up or park high enough to be able to walk across the attached walkway which is glass and you can walk over the traffic. Once you get on the other side you can go in the main entrance or many others. There are plenty of restaurant's, ice cream and, Fudge. In the back is the beautiful water where you will see huge Naval Ships and Yachts. Also the Hampton Roads Transit you can take through the water to see even more gorgeous sites.The fee is 2 for adults.

Super cool spot. We DJ there often, but the vibe is so cool and love the different options in food too. Staff is always nice and it's the perfect location for when they have their food festivals
