The rate of eating disorders among college students has risen to nearly 20 percent of women, and up to 10 percent of men. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) reports that full-blown eating disorders usually develop between the ages of 18 and 21, and 35 percent of “normal” eaters progress to pathological dieting. To raise […]

A local beer from 2013 is back on the market, but grab it while it’s cold, because it’s only available for a limited time. Starr Hill Brewery master brewer Mark Thompson teamed up with Floyd-based Red Rooster Coffee Roaster owner Haden Polseno-Hensley last year to create the Little Red RooStarr Coffee Cream Stout, which was […]
Brian Dickert was 16 years old the first time he set foot in a chiropractor’s office. Desperate for relief from daily migraines that prescriptions didn’t stand a chance against, he was willing to try just about anything. So when the first thing the doctor said to him was “I’m not going to do anything for […]
James River Brewing Company is not an urban legend. I promise. If you’ve never been down to Scottsville, you might find it hard to confirm the place exists. You haven’t seen the brewery’s beers on tap around town, and if you’ve come across a James River bottle somewhere, a Sasquatch hunter you are indeed. But […]
I’ll just come right out and say it: I’m an oyster snob. Born to parents who lived in Charleston, South Carolina for a decade, I tried my first chewy, salty, slightly slimy mollusc—lightly roasted, served on a Saltine cracker with a dollop of homemade cocktail sauce—around age 10, and I never looked back. So when […]
For one day next week, tavola will abandon its rustic Italian cuisine. The Belmont restaurant is taking a leap across the continent to land squarely on the Emerald Isle and turn into a pop-up Irish pub in honor of St. Patrick’s day. On Monday, March 17, Pub Tavola’s menu will offer traditional Irish fare beginning at noon, and […]
See and be seen! We’re sending a photographer to the hottest scenes in Charlottesville for an up-close-and-personal look at what—and who—is going on around town. Know of a photo-worthy event coming up? E-mail writer@c-ville.com. Despite the chilly weather on Fat Tuesday, there was a fun and festive crowd at Fellini’s #9 celebrating Mardi Gras. The atmosphere […]
If there’s anything in this world that intimidates me more than singing, it’s dancing. Hand me a microphone and ask me to belt it and shake it at the same time, and I might just have a heart attack. Writing, on the other hand, is a form of self expression that I can (and do) […]
Last year, we brought home the most generous newborn from the hospital. Along with her kissable baby cheeks she offered the added bonus of spit up all over my favorite shirt. With her tiny button nose she bequeathed mucus of every size and color, free of charge. And of course, thrown in with her adorable […]
I spent all of January getting everything in order to open a serious cocktail bar Downtown. Several weeks went into researching what the business’s official and exact position on ice, shaking, dilution, stirring, double straining, etc. should be. I spent another several days discussing this with our staff and figuring out specifically how to implement those […]
