I love Bananna Republic! I always hated driving out to Lynnhaven to shop at that one. And also, I love the restaurants on Grandy Street. I would much rather eat at a local restaurant than a cookie-cutter chain. Downtown Norfolk feels like a real downtown, of which I am proud to bring my out-of-town guests too.

A Crate and Barrel is a must, not to mention a Bloomingdales, as well as Hugo Boss and a few others which now grace the southern suburbs of Richmond. But then, Norfolk really is an H&M kinda town. Sad to see Fines go, after many years of trend setting men's attire. I mean look at the fine collection of eating establishments on Granby with top notch interior decor by owner. Blah. Granby on Saturday night is like Church Street of the 60's. Try it. You'll never do it again.
