From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A small historic town on the Occoquan River. A lovely day trip, with restaurants, shops, and a lovely view of the river.
Walk along a chip-surfaced trail through a marsh. There are many waterfowl here to see, particularly in winter. During the summer, look at the many songbirds.
The best restaurant in Woodbridge. Their barbecue meats are absolutely the best, and their sides are excellent too. Make sure you go hungry.
Venezuelan cafe.
French restaurant. Dress up and splurge!
Chicken shwarma, kibbe, chicken kabob, and other tasty Lebanese food.
Disproportionately Mexican clientele and only one server who really speaks English (the daughter), and some incredible food. Highlights are the tacos themselves and the menudo, which is not available every day. They also serve the rare-to-D.C. micheladas—beer with spices, salt rim, and often tabasco sauce and clam juice (clamada). They're a lot of fun.
Tacos!
Authentic Mexican street tacos.
Anchored by Sears, Costco, Marshalls, Bloomingdales, TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, Nordstrom Rack, and JCPenney.
Beekeeping supplies, beekeeping classes, and, of course, honey.
