The Lowdown 📰🗞️

Williamsburg’s First Filipino Restaurant Opening This Summer 🍜
Husband-and-wife team Cesar and Neryn Reyes are opening Pika-Filipino Cravings, possibly Williamsburg’s first Filipino takeout restaurant, this summer on Olde Towne Road, serving authentic Filipino comfort food and all-day breakfast. Originally started online in 2019, they aim to introduce the rich flavors of Filipino cuisine to a wider audience with a permanent location opening soon. (There was a news article about it but it required paid subscription so we’ll link the Facebook page instead). Learn More 

Spark Golf Williamsburg: Tee Off, Make Friends, and Play Your Way!
We often get asked about events and groups where people of all ages can connect and make new friends. Well, we found something perfect—and you don’t even have to be a golf pro! Spark Golf offers fun, social 9-hole leagues with relaxed rules, flexible weekly or prepaid play options, and friendly competition, whether you join solo or with a partner. (No, we’re not sponsored—just stumbled upon it and wanted to share!)See More

Zebra, Camel, & Ostrich Races start on Friday! 🦓
If you grew up watching Swiss Family Robinson (1960) and remember that wild scene where they’re racing on all sorts of animals—and thought, “Now that’s a show I’d pay to see”—well, do I have an event for you! On Friday, come watch zebras, camels and ostriches race at Colonial Downs in New Kent. Sound interesting? Learn More

A note from our local neighbor:

Just up the road from Williamsburg, discover Brickshire Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed to challenge and inspire. With five sets of tees ranging from 4,892 to 7,291 yards, it’s a rewarding experience for every level of golfer. Signature holes pay homage to legends like Augusta National and St. Andrews, while elevation changes and natural wetlands ensure no two holes play the same. After your round, unwind at The Brickshire Bar & Grille. Overlooking the scenic 18th hole, you can enjoy a hand-crafted burger or signature sandwich with a cold drink, indoors or out on the terrace. Your unforgettable day starts here.
Visit our website to book a tee time or check out our menu from the Grille.
