About this Neighborhood

This Northern Virginia pocket is small in footprint but big in flavour, with just 15 restaurants that together pull an enormous 5,500-plus Yelp reviews at a 4.4 rating. Raaga Restaurant and the long-standing Duangrat's Thai Restaurant are destination-worthy, while City Diner Restaurant keeps a comfort-food anchor on the block. Five grocery stores, four courts and four parks round out daily life, and Foursquare tastes range across Middle Eastern, Chinese and taco kitchens plus a hookah bar and a shopping mall. It's a compact, deeply multicultural corner where the eating outshines the map.
