Good Morning Virginia Beach!

We’ve cooked up something special this week — and you’re invited! 🍽️

We are launching something new in Hampton Roads and we’re kicking it off in Virginia Beach! This is about to change the way you meet, mingle, and dine around town. Whether you’re a foodie or just love good company, this is one you’ll want to check out.

Here’s a taste of what else is on the menu this week:

✨ Where to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without the dishes
🌙 A magical night Under the Stars you won’t want to miss
🏠 The sweetest competition in town
📅 A full lineup of local events to fill your calendar

There’s a lot to savor in this issue…let’s dig in!

— Kim Checcio

Something new (and seriously fun) is coming to the table… introducing the Hampton Roads Dinner Club! 🍽️✨

This isn’t networking. It’s not a formal event. It’s six locals at one table — laughing, sharing stories, and connecting over incredible food right here in Virginia Beach.

Our very first dinner happens Wednesday, December 10 at 6:30 PM.

Whether you’re new to town or just looking to expand your circle, this is your chance to make genuine connections and celebrate the local flavor that makes VB so special.
