Things To Do

First time in the Northern Virginia area, and not sure what to do? We've listed some places you can visit that we enjoy, and provided a bunch of restaurant suggestions as well. We hope this helps plan your stay!

Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center

14390 Air and Space Museum Parkway, Chantilly, VA 20151

This is a great Air and Space Museum. This location is better than the one in Washington, DC.

Bowlero Annandale

4245 Markham Street, Annandale, VA 22003

This was the couple's second date.

Smithsonian American Art Museum

1300 Constitution Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20560

Free to visit, and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History Museum is also right next door. It will take at least 2 hours to get through each one.

Tysons Corner Center

1100 South Hayes Street, Arlington, VA 22202

Closest indoor shopping mall to the venue.

Reston Town Center

11900 Market Street, Reston, VA 20190

Outdoor shopping center.

Ada's on the River

3 Pioneer Mill Way, Alexandria, VA 22314

This is the couple's go-to anniversary dinner spot. This requires a reservation and is on the more expensive side.

Sushi Cho

10160 Fairfax Boulevard, Fairfax, VA 22030

Lots of options! We recommend trying the Mafia Roll.

Sō Korean BBQ

5728 Pickwick Road, Centreville, VA 20121

All you can eat Korean BBQ!

Umai Ramen & Rice Bowl

482 Elden Street, Herndon, VA 20170

Note: The restaurant is on the smaller side and cannot host large groups.

Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

1775 Tysons Boulevard, Tysons, VA 22102

We recommend the all you can eat option, but if you aren't in the mood for that much meat, they do have a very good salad bar.

Ruthie's All-Day

3411 5th Street South, Arlington, VA 22204

This is one of the couple's favorite restaurants! Reservations are required. If you do not make a reservation 1 to 2 weeks in advance, you will most likely not be able to get table, especially for Brunch.

Mia's Italian Kitchen

100 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

Great restaurant in Old Town Alexandria near the waterfront.

Dumplings & Beyond

2400 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20007

If you are planning to visit Washington, DC, we recommend checking out our favorite dumplings place in the city. The Beef and Onion soup dumplings are amazing!

Crafty Crab Alexandria

5770 Dow Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22304

We highly recommend getting their Seafood Boil with their Boom Sauce on Medium Heat.
