When the Summer heat gets to be too much, take the kids to Lyon Village, Hayes Park or Drew Playground Spray Park to cool off. Arlington’s four Spraygrounds and two interactive water parks are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Check the website for hours as each sprayground is closed one day a week.
Market Tavern (formerly Harry’s Tap Room) in Clarendon offers a great selection including six kinds of Eggs Benedict, omelettes, french toast, steak and eggs as well as soups, salads and sandwiches. And don’t let the name fool you – this is a very family friendly place with a great kids menu.
It’s also a great place for dinner with an upstairs dining room, the Chophouse, specializing in steaks, chops and casseroles and the downstairs tavern with burgers, sandwiches, small plates, sharables, soups and salads. Both offer 26 beers on tap and 76 wines by the glass.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This Market Tavern in Clarendon is now closed.
