Welcome!
Ships,
W
elcome to Newport News,
where great things are happening!
First off, we have not one, but TWO
golden anniversaries to celebrate
in 2016... Newport News Park is
celebrating its 50th birthday, as
is the Virginia Living Museum!
Did you know that Newport News
Park was developed in 1966 from a
watershed that was created around
Lee Hall Reservoir to protect the
cleanliness of the water? At 7,711 acres,
Newport News Park is one of the largest
city-run parks in the United States. Visit
the park for some gifts of nature and
other treasures you’d never expect to
find in the third largest city in Virginia!
The Virginia Living Museum is celebrating
its 50th anniversary with a year of special
events and exhibits. Highlights include a
display of larger-than-life animatronic bugs
through mid-April, followed by a hugely
popular dinosaur exhibit returning in the
summer. In the fall, a permanent outdoor
“Dinosaur Discovery Trail” will open.
History,
the Great
Outdoors
Returning in mid-March for its second year
is the Newport News One City Marathon.
Runners will begin their journey in the
stunning setting of Newport News Park. From
there the next 26.2 miles will include the very
best Newport News has to offer, finishing (and
fittingly so) at the Newport News Victory Arch.
Stay with us in Newport News and enjoy
everything we have to offer. Let our knowledgeable
travel counselors help you plan your stay in
our hometown by calling 888-493-7386 or

Insider Tips
Meet
Krystel & Inesha
Krystel
Krystel and Inesha have been friends since they met at
Gildersleeve Middle School. The two Newport News
residents enjoy going to festivals together, shopping,
and exploring new restaurants. Krystel, a licensed
real estate agent, works as a leasing consultant in City
Center. Inesha, who works in a physical therapy office,
has a degree in Therapeutic Recreation and is currently
working on her master’s.
Out With the Girls:
Our favorite places to go in Newport
News for a Girls' Night Out is anywhere
with a Paint Nite. They even have a
Wine & Design in City Center now.
Retail Therapy:
Fashion finds:
Patrick Henry Mall because they
have a wide variety of stores
to fit everyone’s needs.
Home décor:
Krystel: I love Jefferson
Commons. My faves are Pier
1 Imports and TJ Maxx.
Inesha: Pier 1 Imports because
they simply have it all.
Treats:
Krystel: Scratch Bakery in Port
Warwick is love at first smell!
Inesha: Couture Cakes by Nika in
the Hilton area of Newport News.
Shoes:
Krystel: Aldo in Patrick
Henry Mall. Stylish shoes and I
can even find accessories and
handbags there to match.
Inesha: Off Broadway in
Jefferson Commons. They have
shoes (from sandals to sneakers
and heels) for every event.
Jewelry:
Krystel: I like The Mole
Hole in City Center.
Inesha: Versona in
Jefferson Commons.
Pampering:
Healthy Touch Therapeutic Massage
offers a lot of awesome massages that
we love, and Nail Addict is our “go-to”
place to get a good, stylish mani/pedi.
Eating out:
Seafood:
Krystel: The Skrimp Shack is my new
fave when I want to be naughty and
eat fried! I also like Harpoon Larry’s.
Inesha: The Crab Shack because of the
James River scenery and daily fresh catches.
Italian:
Krystel: I can’t stay away from
Carrabbas, good food... good people.
Inesha: Travinia Italian
Kitchen in City Center.
Mexican:
Krystel: Salsas! I love how they
make guacamole right at your table.
Inesha: Plaza Azteca – not
only is the food delicious, but
the service is quick as well.
Asian:
Krystel: I wasn’t a sushi fan until
I tried Thaijindesu in Port Warwick...
definitely addicting, so beware!
14
Inesha
Inesha: Hibachi Grill – they
cook right in front of you.
Sweets:
Pelican’s SnoBalls is a hidden
gem of Newport News.
Cheers!
Glass of wine:
Krystel: Circa 1918 has a wide
selection of wines perfect for a
Girls' Night Out or a date night.
Inesha: Travinia... it’s known
as a wine bar for a reason!
Bloody Mary:
Krystel: Second Street Bistro
has Bloody Marys with overthe-top garnishes... I love it!
Inesha: Cove Tavern in City Center.
Mimosa:
FIN in Port Warwick has a
yummy, fresh mimosa.
To burn off calories:
We would suggest Newport News Park.
Not only is there a nice trail for a walk/
jog, you can rent paddle boats and bikes.
Date night:
City Center at Oyster Point is an “all-inone.” Dinner and a movie at Paragon Theater
(who wouldn’t like to catch up on the latest
movies while relaxing in leather recliners,
eating snacks) and then ending with a nice
stroll around the fountain… so romantic!
Romantic photo op:
Krystel: The Lions Bridge. What
an amazing waterfront sunset view.
Inesha: City Center. The fountain
is awesome. You might even get lucky
enough to get a picture with the giant
“LOVE NN” letters… Virginia
Is For Lovers!

Insider Tips
Meet the
Jason
Todd Family
Dianne
Jason and Dianne Todd live in the “Warwick on the James”
neighborhood of Newport News. Jason, president of Flat-Out
Events, is an avid runner and lover of all sports. Dianne,
a paralegal, is taking a break from the office to be a stay-athome mom to their two sons, Sean and Joel. Passionate about
nutrition and natural health, Dianne is enrolled in a health
coaching certification program.
Outdoor fun:
Sean
We love getting out in our
neighborhood, which is familyfriendly and has lots of old charm!
We enjoy going on walks and having
an occasional picnic at Lions Bridge.
As a runner, Jason visits areas all over
the city by foot, especially Hilton
Village, Mariners’ Museum Park, City
Center and Port Warwick. And, last
but not least, sledding near Lions
Bridge when it snows is a great time!
Rainy day fun:
Keeping two young kids occupied is
always important, so Patrick Henry
Mall is a nice way to kill some time.
Looking through the toy aisles at
Toys “R” Us and Target is always on
the top of our son’s list. We also
enjoy children’s story time at Main
Street Library and Barnes & Noble.
Joel
Eating out:
Nawab Indian Cuisine is at the top of
our list for its excellent lunch buffet.
Indulge, a new French bakery in Hilton
Village, is also delicious! Aroma’s coffee
shop is a go-to for relaxing with a cup
of coffee and catching up on some
work. Finally, we are so excited about
the new Tech Center! Thrilled to have
one of our faves, P.F. Chang’s, in town.
Family fun:
Every July 4th, we love to walk down
to the Hilton Pier and join other
neighborhood families to watch the
fireworks. We’re also looking forward to
seeing a play at the Peninsula Community
Theatre. We enjoy summer concerts at
City Center, Port Warwick and Mariners’
Museum Park. Dianne loves going to
the local farmers’ markets at CNU and
City Center in the spring and summer.
Special occasions:
We like to dine at the quaint Circa
1918, which is right down the
street from our home. Bonefish
Grill is another nice restaurant for
special occasions. Because Jason’s
job takes up many weekends, a
favorite post-event Monday tradition
is breakfast at Cracker Barrel.
For visiting friends and family:
Usually it’s a nice meal at one of the
restaurants we’ve mentioned. Lions
Bridge and the view of the James
River is a nice way to end our day.
Don’t miss:
The One City Marathon, of course!
To relax:
For Jason, it's hitting the streets for a
run. He’s been really happy to see all
of the new sidewalks going in around
town. As a family, we enjoy long
walks around our neighborhood and
love seeing families out and about.
We love to grab an ice cream treat
at Maggie Moo’s and take a stroll
around the City Center fountain.
Birthday party fun:
Birthday parties at My Gym in Kiln
Creek and Rebounderz are always a
good time. We also like to meet up
with our Hilton Presbyterian Preschool
friends for parties in the neighborhood.

Favorite historic sites:
The Victory Arch in downtown
Newport News and the Battle of
Dam No.1 at Newport News Park.
Why Newport News:
As far as school is concerned,
the magnet program is awesome
because once the child is selected,
siblings are automatically accepted,
and transportation is provided as
needed. The best thing about living
and working in Newport News is
most everything we do is centrally
located within the city limits.
