Default Operation: Something to do in Richmond

Restaraunts
Ghengis Kahn Mongolian Grill
2011 Huguenot Road
Richmond, VA 23235
Phone: (804) 330-8918
Takeout Menu
All you can eat mongolian-style buffet (similar to Grey Wolf or Sumo in 757.) Select whatever combo of uncooked vegetables, meats and sauces you like and it is grilled up for you in a matter of seconds. Very good food. Great prices (especially lunch.)

Glory Days Grill
6151 Harbourside Centre Loop
Midlothian, VA 23112
Phone: (804) 608-8350
Menu
Sports bar style restaurant. Very good food ranging from burgers and fries to shrimp and steak. Good atmosphere and tons of TVs for watching, uh, TV. Prices average for sports bar/grill.

River City Diner
11430 West Huguenot Road
Midlothian, VA 23113
Phone: (804) 897-9518
Nostalgic, old-time diner. Very good "homestyle" food along with your typical diner menu items. Average prices.

(corner of E. Cary & 17th Streets)

Richmond's best place for pizza. Has some outdoor and patio seating. Don't try to drive hovercrafts down to Shockoe Bottom! Awesome place to grab some food, take dates or visitors to Richmond. Great photo ops at nearby Canal Walk. Renovated after the great flood. Don't bother with the yuppie Twin Hickory location, it's not the same.

Richmond, VA 23222
Phone: (804) 228-0188

Very fun, indoor gokart track. Karts are much faster than your average track. Features a well laid out track and timesheets for you to pick up at the end of a race. Expensive compared to other gokarting places in the area but much more fun. ($20 a race for non members, $17 a race for members. Races last ~10 minutes.)

This thread is for posting things to do in Richmond that people may or may not know about. Everyone always talks about how there's nothing to do but if we all pool all of the things we know together, I figure we can come up with a good list.

If one of your suggestions doesn't fit the current catergories, we can work it in. You can add suggestions in reply or PM and I will update the top post.
