From innovative creations to traditional fare done just right, these are our critic’s favorites this year.
The first ever Dual Trails project is complete on the W&OD Trail, and it's right here in The Little City! Thanks to Adam Tuss of NBC Washington for highlighting the story. Bicyclists and walkers/joggers/strollers can safely navigate the popular trail thx to divided lanes. This demonstrates the City's commitment to health and wellness, including ranking in the top three each year as U.S. News and World Report's Healthiest Communities in America!
The project would not have been possible without the partnerships and management from NOVA Parks and the The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority.
A new one-and-a-half-mile section of the wildly popular W&OD trail in Northern Virginia separates walkers from cyclists. News4 Transportation Reporter Adam Tuss offers a look.

To help businesses show customers that they are meeting the Governor’s mandatory guidelines, the EDA created this free printable flyer (www.choosefallschurch.org/poster). Businesses can print it or get a free poster-sized version by visiting the reception desk just inside the City Hall main entrance, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Any business that displays the flyer or poster agrees to abide by all of the Governor’s current and future COVID-19 guidelines.
Thanks to Arlington Magazine for featuring the openings of @Solace Outpost and The Toy Nest in The Little City! Grab your face coverings, stay socially distant, and enjoy! On Solace: "Solace Outpost’s debut, just as Northern Virginia was settling into the second week of its Phase 2 reopening, seems well-timed. 'It’s big, open and airy with plenty of outdoor space, says partner Ian Hilton. 'People feel comfortable and not crowded. I think it’s a good first step back into going out.'" On the Toy Nest: "Starting a business is hard. Starting a first-of-its-kind business is harder. Starting a first-of-its-kind business during a pandemic—now that’s a challenge. Somehow, Lisa Bourven managed to do it. Nearly two months after her intended grand opening, the Falls Church resident and mother of two was finally able to open the physical location of The Toy Nest, a membership-based 'toy library' at 98 N. Washington St. (next to Thompson Italian), where parents can rent baby gear, games, ride-on toys and more." https://www.arlingtonmagazine.com/solace-outpost-is-now-open https://www.arlingtonmagazine.com/a-toy-library-opens-in-falls-church
