A membership-only, indoor golfing facility meant for avid golfers looking to improve is now open in a high-rise near Ballston.
The Golf Yards opened earlier this month in Three Ballston Plaza at 1100 N. Glebe Road, offering members 24/7 access to eight golf simulators, putting/short game areas and a high-performance gym. The seventh-floor space is already nearing its membership cap, co-founder David Stillman told ARLnow.
A new all-you-can-eat spot for sushi, sashimi and nigiri is open in Penrose Square.
MoMoGoGo opened its doors at 2501 9th Road S. this past weekend, serving rolls in an atmosphere heavily inspired by Japan — with booths designed after Japanese gazebos, faux maple leaves and screens displaying scenes from the land of the rising sun.
Every day, Arlingtonians open ARLnow to catch what’s happening in their neighborhood. The new restaurant. The road closure. The house that just hit the market. One question: are they finding your business, too?
They could be.
