The Hornsby House Inn naturally sets a romantic scene. Whether a weekend getaway or preparing for a springtime wedding, enjoy Yorktown’s charm and beauty.
FOR THE CASUAL, FUN-LOVING COUPLE:
First, take advantage of the lovely outdoors. It’s just a five-minute walk to Yorktown Beach where you and your sweetie can lounge in the sun, experience Riverwalk Landing and explore one of the many historical trails. Fuel up at the Yorktown Pub, a favorite local spot. Crabs, oysters, clams, scallops, fresh-caught fish — you name it! The bounty of the river is all over the menu, and they’re open until the wee hours. If you enjoy casual dining serving seafood at its freshest, you’ve found your place. Enjoy live music on the weekends! Then you’re just a short walk back up to the Inn; it’s that simple!
For the artsy,
off-beat couple:
You’ll never be bored around here! Check out The Yorktown Arts Foundation at the On the Hill Gallery for different art events, classes and gallery exhibits throughout the year. Savor a taste of something different and delicious at Umi Sushi, classic Japanese fare with a fresh, modern look. Sample all your favorite sushi rolls along with original and new items, and don’t forget the drinks! Have you ever tried hot sake? How about sparkling sake, or a sake-tini? If you’re craving something sweet, look across the street to Ben and Jerry’s. With so many flavors and even more possible combinations, it might take you a while! You can finish your lovely evening on the patio as the sun goes down.
FOR THE ROMANTIC,
GOING-ALL-OUT COUPLE:
This date might be a great idea for a special occasion, maybe an anniversary or birthday, but feel free to celebrate your love whenever you like!
First stop might be Viccellio Goldsmith & Fine Jewelry where you will find something beautiful to mark the occasion designed and lovingly handcrafted by Yorktown artist and native, Hank Viccellio. For a meal, you absolutely can’t go wrong with Riverwalk Restaurant (more elegant) or Water Street Grille (more casual). They are fixtures of Water Street. Ready to make a beautiful night even more unforgettable? Book a sunset sail on the York River and enjoy a drink at sea. The sailboat cruises are 2 hours long and offer great insight into the geography and history of the area while offering the opportunity for you and your sweetheart to escape a little. Once you dock, you’ll barely have time to get your land-legs back before you’re back at the Inn!
All three of these date ideas are within a 10-minute walk from Hornsby House Inn, making this the ideal place to end your romantic evening. No matter the time of year or the occasion, feel free to ask for suggestions on how to celebrate your loved one, Yorktown style!
