"Like all of our featured spas, Renewal Day Spa provides the complete spa experience. But where they really step it up a notch is with their beauty offerings including in-depth skin care, permanent make-up services and an expansive nail care menu. But the best part of all is reasonable pricing for their premium services."

"Try this place if you want to take advantage of happy hour with their great drinks at only 3 USD from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm. The Japanese cuisine here is well-prepared, and guests especially loved the soups here. Definitely try the sushi rolls, especially their specialty rolls that are sure to not disappoint you, along with the rice options, such as the pad Thai and chicken fried rice."

"This Japanese fusion restaurant is a great place if you’re craving sushi. The dishes are excellently made with love and care. Fresh products are used to create a traditional yet unique taste that will keep you coming back for more."

"2803 2007 W Broad St, RVA 23220Website | Facebook | Photo: Yelp. The interactive LED bar creates a hip ambiance at LEVEL!. Their extensive menu features hefty portions and fresh twists on classic rolls."

"We just had the best sushi we’ve had in a long time from Jing Sushi. Everything was super fresh and the rice was even super flavorful."

"Richmond is packed with history, so we thought we would push back breakfast and start the day at an inspiring destination: the Maggie L. Walker National Historical Site. Walker spent her entire life working towards equality for African Americans, especially women, making countless important contributions that helped lay the foundation for future Civil Rights movements throughout the United States. Before visiting the museum, watch a short film that details Walker’s rise from an African American woman born at the end of the Civil War to a community leader and hero. Continue the tour next door at Maggie Walker’s historic home, allowing visitors a chance to walk the same halls as this distinguished Richmond resident."

"Maggie Lena Walker may not be a household name but she’s a legend in Virginia, especially Richmond. The educator, activist, and entrepreneur was the first Black woman to charter a bank in the United States. Walker’s Jackson Ward home is now a National Historic Site and the location for a 30 to 45-minute ranger-led tour."

"John Marshall House was the home of the distinguished jurist and is one of the few remaining Federal-style homes in the area. The fourth Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, Marshall served from 1801 to 1835, and his court opinions established several crucial concepts of constitutional government. Most important of these was making the Supreme Court an equal branch of government with the Congress and the president, and reinforcing the principle that federal law took priority over state laws."

"For a bit more variety in views and terrain than the other easy hikes on our list, head to Forest Hill Park, where you’ll find a little bit of everything on its 2.7-mile loop trail. Waterfalls, still lakes, forests, and boardwalks abound as you make your way through this shady trail. There’s also a little bit of elevation gain for some added fun and challenge."

"Forest Hill Park is my favorite place to have a picnic with friends. This large park has plenty of lush, green grass to spread out in and the shade of the old oak trees makes it the perfect spot to spend an afternoon. It’s a great place to get some fresh air and sunshine with your family, friends, and dogs!"

"With grassy space, plenty of trees, amazing stone, and a lake - Forest Hill Park has it all. The grassy area of the park is perfect for all types of shoots. The walk down to the lake is a little long and very steep, but so pretty."

"Bryan Park is the perfect place to get outside and get some exercise!. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset and entry is free for the general public. Inside the park, you will find a number of walking/biking trails, a soccer field, playground, disc golf course, azalea gardens, and a small lake for fishing."
