A 14-course high tea inspired by the south of France has arrived at Flore Café in Tysons’ Capital One Center.

The cafe inside the Sisters Thai restaurant (7735 Capital One Tower Road) officially launched its seasonal transformation on Saturday (June 6), combining French cuisine and floral touches to offer “Summer in Provence,” a summertime high tea billed as a “sensory escape.”


Dogfish Head Alehouse’s long-awaited return to Fairfax County will take a little longer than expected.

While the restaurant had originally targeted a summer 2026 opening, owner Viswa Vasireddy has confirmed to FFXnow that the new location at 11995 Inspiration Street in Reston Town Center is now likely to open in the fall.

    Pride Month has arrived, and with it comes a range of celebrations throughout the D.C. region, from festivals to bike rides.
