McLean/NoVA recommendations
 

The parents need recommendations for a weeks worth of stuff to do and places to eat in NoVa in May. Dad will be at a conference in McLean, leaving Mom to fend for herself during the day. Can you please provide some recommendations? Or better ways to search the forum? So far, Mom is going to spend one day at the Leesburg outlets and antique stores. She has no interest in Tysons Corner or any more historic sites (I've worn her out.) I'm thinking a day spa for her, and a winery or two with live music for both of them.

Thanks!

The Majestic Cafe in Alexandria...make reservations AHEAD.

The Willow in Arlington...again, reservations AHEAD

I assume she is going to be driving, since she's going all the way to Leesburg?

Driving, yes. The Willow looks divine and I am jealous of sending them there! Please keep the recommendations coming.

Go to Tachibana restaurant in McLean if you would enjoy an authentic Japanese place.
