Looking for the most authentic Italian brunch in Arlington, and one the kids are actually welcome at? Rosslyn has it 🍳 👉 Been to Sfoglina? 💬 Tell us your favorite dish in the comments. Sfoglina just launched a Saturday brunch, and it’s the real thing. We worked through a cacio e pepe omelet, a Neapolitan shakshuka, an organic raspberry waffle, and the Sfoglina Caesar. You can still order pasta (you’ll see the glass room where they hand-roll it a few feet from your table), but the main menu leans into proper breakfast. The warm coffee cake deserves its own sentence. We’ve had a lot of coffee cake in Arlington. This might be the best. It’s one block from the Rosslyn Metro, under the office tower at 1100 Wilson, bright and easy and genuinely fine with a table full of kids. The strawberry and vanilla gelato sealed it for the little ones, the espresso martini sealed it for us. My must-orders: the cacio e pepe omelet, the Neapolitan shakshuka, and that coffee cake (I’m still thinking about it). The kids would tell you the gelato. 📍 Sfoglina Rosslyn - Arlington, VA Comment what other Arlington restaurants we should try next, we’re always building the list 💛

You walk through this house and forget which side of the windows you’re on. Donald Lethbridge designed it that way in 1952. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A 1952 Lethbridge-designed mid-century modern in Dover Crystal. 6 beds, 6 baths, and it just hit the market at $2,899,000. ▫️ Dover Crystal sits in North Arlington, on a quiet cul-de-sac with no thru traffic. 0.57 acres backing to trees, which is double or triple what most Arlington lots come with at this price point. Sweeping views toward Rosslyn, downtown DC, and the National Cathedral from the main living areas, best when the leaves are down. ▫️ Lethbridge was an acclaimed mid-century modern architect in the DC area. The 1952 design features cantilevered overhangs engineered to welcome winter sunlight while shielding from the higher summer sun, walls of windows that dissolve the line between inside and out, and stone floors that flow from the interior into outdoor terraces. On a sunny day, most of the lights stay off! ▫️ The renovation: the current owners added a roof over what used to be the original exterior atrium, turning it into the heart of the house. The 1950s sliding doors are still in place, hidden steel beams open the spaces, and the original windows were replaced with high-performance insulated glass that kept the sightlines. ▫️ Schools are the Taylor / Dorothy Hamm / Yorktown cluster. One important note: this house is for sure not for everybody. Each room is its own distinct space rather than one continuous great room, and the kitchen is tucked off the main living areas the way 1950s design intended. If you want a 6,000 sqft new craftsman with everything open, this isn’t that. If you want a house where every material decision was deliberate, this is exactly that. 📍 Dover Crystal, North Arlington. Cul-de-sac, backs to trees, minutes to the Metro, the GW Parkway, and the Potomac. 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Chris Owens + Jeff Wilson | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #dovercrystal #mid

Truly one of the most incredible homes we’ve ever toured. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A restored 1897 plantation-style Colonial in Rock Spring. 6 beds, 6.5 baths, and after dropping $125K, this is now listed at $2,850,000. ▫️ Rock Spring sits in North Arlington with one light to DC and easy access to the GW Parkway and the Potomac. A quiet stretch of larger homes on bigger lots, though this one’s lot is on the smaller side (more on that below). ▫️ The land was first granted to the Robertson family by Lord Fairfax in 1724. The Weaver family of W.T. Weaver & Sons Hardware in Georgetown bought it in the 1880s and built the current home in 1897, holding it for 80 years (comment “Thursday” for the full listing). ▫️ Recently restored and expanded. New systems throughout, original 1897 leaded glass windows still in place. During the Union defense of Washington in 1861, the property’s original 1812 cabin briefly served as Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock’s field headquarters. ▫️ School cluster is the Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown High School One important note: the lot itself is 0.262 acres, which is on the smaller side for a $2.85M Rock Spring property. The seller is offering buyers first dibs on a roughly 10,000 sqft adjacent lot at $1M, plus a $50K credit toward outbuildings or a garage. We’ve toured a lot of Arlington homes this year, and none of them came with a 1724 Lord Fairfax land grant attached to the property records. 📍 Rock Spring, North Arlington. One traffic light away from DC, minutes to the GW Parkway and the Potomac. As always, our IG Stories got the first look 👀 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Christine Morgan | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #tourthursday #arlingtonva #rockspring #birchlandestate #yorktownhigh

How to make a full night of it in Shirlington: 🎭 PIPPIN at Signature Theatre: The Tony-winning theatre right in the Village at Shirlington. The choreography, the costumes, the set: we were locked in start to finish. 🍸 Drinks or food: First walk Campbell Avenue for happy hour or brunch before the show and make it a real evening, not just two hours in a seat. 🍴 Or skip the walk!: There's a bar and restaurant inside the theatre itself. Dinner before, drinks at intermission, no coats required. 🎟️ See PIPPIN now through July 26. We'd book a seat ahead of time if you want one.

If you are looking for a new hair and makeup salon in Arlington, VA, I’ve found the place. Marwa opened Ombre early so I wouldn't be late to our new branding shoot.
