New Culinary & Music Destination Set to Enliven Virginia Beach

The Cardinal Restaurant & Bar is set to open its doors in mid-March near Virginia Beach's Oceanfront, offering a vibrant addition to the local dining and entertainment scene. Housed in a location with a history of hospitality but lacking a lasting legacy since the Bayou nightclub, The Cardinal aims to attract both residents and visitors with its regional American cuisine, expansive bar, and a diverse array of live music events. Spearheaded by Harmony Hospitality, the venue has undergone extensive renovations featuring eclectic interior design elements, including unique murals by artists Jeff Tarkenton and Mickael Broth. Situated near the ViBe Creative District, The Cardinal plans to blend into the artistic community, hosting events like an art show fundraiser and a grand opening celebration with live performances. The establishment seeks to become a prime gathering spot in Virginia Beach by emphasizing music, food, and art.

Thousands of Virginians start their day with Today in Virginia Beach

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“This newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

“This newsletter has been a game-changer for my business. It not only highlights local news but also features small businesses like mine. It's a great platform for local exposure.”

Easton E.

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I start my day with this newsletter and it never disappoints. It keeps me informed about local school events and city news in a concise way. It's the perfect blend of brevity and depth, and I appreciate that it's free and accessible.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use the newsletter to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
