This basket is your key to the “Little City” of Falls Church - a totally walkable and charming "downtown" area just miles from MSM, chock full of local businesses and restaurants for kids and adults alike!
No need to cross the bridge or deal with the Arlington traffic - the Little City - and this basket - have tons of great dining options! Have an amazing meal at local favorite Thompson Italian, which has earned spots on the Washington Post, Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine Best Restaurant lists, and a James Beard nomination for Outstanding Pastry Chef of the Year. You’ll have tons of options to enjoy - great coffee, pastries, and a huge menu of sandwiches, pizzas, salads, evening fare, and even wine - at Northside Social, or if smoked meat is your jam, grab a seat on the patio and get some of the best around at Liberty Barbeque. Start your day with a mouthwatering sandwich from Preservation Biscuit Company and end it with some ice cream “made fresh from the milk of uber-pampered grass-fed Jersey cows” at Lil City Creamery. Stop by Clare and Don’s Beach Shack for a fun time anytime for classic beachy fare, surrounded by the best decor in Northern Virginia, and playing some trivia, or listening to great live music! For some tasty treats at home, your basket also includes coffee beans from Northside Social and some house-made hot sauce and chutney from one of the Little City’s newest local spots - Harvey’s! Stop by to get some more, and you’ll have your choice of tons of local beer and wine, and some fabulous gourmet food surrounded by a friendly neighborhood vibe!
But it’s not JUST about the food - the Little City has tons of fun things to do for you and the little ones too. On those long hot summer days, foster their artistic streak with studio sessions creating hand-painted clay “masterpieces” at Clay Cafe Studios, or get the energy out with a long family session at Scramble. Keep the fresh toys coming with your “fledgling” membership at the Toy Nest, where kids can borrow toys just like books at a library, or explore the amazing toy selection at Doodlehopper, conveniently armed with your $50 gift certificate and two fun "surprise" gifts. While you’re there, pop next door to Lemon Lane for some upscale kids clothes (that won’t outgrow your wallet before their usefulness). Stylish Patina is right down the street, and you can put your $30 gift card to good use on anything from locally-themed hostess gifts to fabulous rehabbed vintage furniture! Last but not least, don’t forget to stop by One More Page Books, a book store with plenty of personality, book clubs, author talks, wine tastings, and thoughtful literary selections where they take books, wine, and chocolate more seriously than they take themselves!
