Visit John Carlyle Square
John Carlyle Square is a green space with canopy shade and free wi-fi, perfect for answering emails or getting some work done outside. At night, the park often transforms into a stage for summer outdoor movies and music concerts as well as pop-up shops and markets.
Have A Drink At Lost Boy Cider
Since it’s opening in June 2019, Lost Boy Cider has been a buzzing epicenter of the Carlyle neighborhood from its Hooffs Run Drive Homebase. Northern Virginia’s first urban cidery boasts tasting flights of flavors such as the raspberry-infused slasher, IPA-inspired Hazy Hopped, and their signature Comeback Kid, pictured above. The dry ciders contain virtually no residual sugar post-fermentation, with no sweeteners added.
Eat At Whiskey & Oyster
Whiskey & Oyster, opened May 2019, is the latest concept from the team behind Tequila & Taco and Sweet Fire Donna’s and several Del Ray eateries. Find a whiskey conveyor belt, fresh oysters, crab cakes and entrees and sandwiches for the seafood-averse. Dine-in style amidst nautical-inspired art fixtures, including a seven-foot metal mermaid sculpture created by Chris Erney, a Torpedo Factory Art Center artist.
