In Herndon since 2010, Kumo Sushi has already gained tons of loyal customers who call it their favorite sushi restaurant in the D.C. Metro area. The décor is contemporary, trendy, and bright (in colors and lighting.) When you order, you’ll notice the lengthy menu as it prides itself on experimental sushi rolls, which most customers prefer to try over the traditional rolls. The sashimi rolls are beautifully crafted and are always fresh. Kumo Sushi also serves delicious fatty tuna, which most sushi restaurants don’t have. There are also numerous options for non-sushi lovers, including the Bento boxes. The contemporary feel also finds itself in Kumo Sushi’s presentation of dishes. The cooks artfully construct the dishes and some are even decorated with orchids. Kumo Sushi is on the expensive side, but you’re getting fresh, quality food in decent-sized portions.

Housed in two beautiful and historic buildings, the National Sporting Library and Museum is completely dedicated to the culture of equestrian and field sports. The Library has been open to researchers and the general public for over 50 years, but the Museum is an exciting new addition! There are over 24,000 books and works of art here dedicated to the histories of angling, foxhunting, horsemanship, and steeplechase. Museum exhibitions focus on one particular artist, theme, or time period, like Afield in America: 400 Years of Animal & Sporting Art 1585-1985. There are special events and lectures as well, including a children’s program and even interviews with trainers of Kentucky Derby winners. Admission is free, though the museum and library have different hours of operation, so check the website ahead of time if you want to visit both. Anyone interested in this unique subculture should definitely check out the National Sporting Library and Museum.
