#16 – Eat at Lebanese Taverna
One of my favorite things to do in the Spring and Summer here is dine al fresco at one of the many restaurants in Clarendon, Pentagon Row or just in my own backyard. New to the outdoor dining scene this year is Lebanese Taverna in Westover Village which was one of our family’s favorites even without outdoor dining. Their Pentagon Row location also offers outdoor dining. You can choose from a variety of hot and cold mezzas or entrees.
#15 – Enjoy a picnic and watch a movie during the Rosslyn Outdoor Film Festival
Every Summer the Rosslyn BID & Rosslyn Renaissance host an outdoor film festival at Gateway Park. The movies start just after dusk but if you arrive early there will be music and activities related to the theme. The movies are shown rain or shine but may be cancelled in case of high winds and thunderstorms. For the complete lineup and more information, see the Rosslyn Film Festival site here.
