Shockoe restaurants make “best in ’08″

The RTD has named two of Shockoe Bottom’s restaurants as the “Best in ’08″:

LuLu’s 21 N. 17th St. (804) 343-9771 http://www.lu-lusrichmond.com

Sure, Steve Jurina, the man who made the words “Millie’s” and “brunch” one and the same, opened LuLu’s in late 2007, but it wasn’t until early last year that its popularity exploded. His kitschy, industrial-meets-sleek Farmers’ Market eatery has become a no-fail outlet for gussied-up comfort food and laid-back barside lounging. LuLu’s has a hip serenity to it, which is further defined by its genuinely awesome wait and bar staff.

The Halligan Bar & Grill 3 N. 17th St. (804) 447-7981 http://www.thehalliganbar.com

What goes better with a hefty pile of briny, tomato-kissed pulled pork and hand-cut fries than a fireman-themed wonderland complete with 1973 Seagrave fire engine with working lights and siren? I know, I can’t think of anything either. Since opening day, Halligan has been not only mecca for finger-licking barbecue fans but also a community gathering spot for some of Richmond’s finest men and women in uniform.
