A Local's Guide to Charlottesville
Food Scene
Charlottesville's beloved bagel shop! Bodo's is the best spot for fresh bagels and sandwiches. My favorite location is on Preston Avenue which is within walking distance of Hillside Cottage. Try my order: a Cinnamon-Raisin bagel with Honey Pecan cream cheese, or my wife's: egg and cheddar cheese on an Everything bagel
