Since opening at the edge of an unassuming street in Richmond’s historic Church Hill neighborhood, The Roosevelt has quickly become a welcomed and popular addition to the cities vibrant restaurant scene. What is great about the Roosevelt is that the elegance of the large open dining room and the 1800s era map of Richmond that serves as the center piece of the framed pictures that decorate the interior walls makes a person feel like they were transported to a time of distant memory when the city was bustling and a destination to be traveled to for an entire nation. Consistent to most nights, seating was limited so we opted to sit at the bar for dinner.
The Roosevelt is located at 623 N. 25th Street and is open for dinner and Sunday brunch.

With the new year we wanted to spice things up a bit. Coming very soon, Brian McDaniel of Dirty Richmond will begin curating Richmond.Neighborhoodr.com for a week. Be on the lookout, it’s going to be a lot of fun. As always, also feel free to submit your own posts for inclusion.
2012
Things on Dirty Richmond have been quiet for the past month but I will be back to posting starting next Monday. While on break I’ve shot several features and have thought of a few new ideas for the blog that I’m really excited about! If you have any ideas or would like to collaborate with Dirty Richmond feel free to leave a message in my inbox or send me an e-mail. While going through my hard drive I kept stumbling on photographs that were never published and I will post many of them when I get back as well.
In addition to this, I’m happy to announce that I will be guest curating for the Richmond Neighborhoodr tumblr all of next week so make sure to follow them!
Saying that this has been an amazing year for Dirty Richmond could not be any more of an understatement. I think 2011 was a year of a substantial level of progression for Dirty Richmond and this tumblr is becoming what I always wanted it to be. In the last 12 months I was able to photograph and collaborate with people of incredible talent that are simply amazing and the passion for their work is evident their chosen craft; and best of all, many of these people are my closest friends! Sometimes I can’t believe Dirty Richmond is still around but there are so many things about this tiny but wonderful city that I want to get out there and share with everyone. These are a few of my favorite photographs from 2011.
I will return to regular posting sometime early to mid January. In the mean time check out Dirty Richmond’s Guide to Richmond Tumblrs which was posted previously this fall, and don’t forget about the Academy Jewelry giveaway contest that will be going on until December 29th!
Thank you for following Dirty Richmond and see you in 2012!
(Ps: Dirty Richmond has a facebook page)
