National Margarita Day was the perfect excuse to do a very official taste test.🍹 Based on my informal poll, Uncle Jalapeños at Worldgate in Herndon takes the crown for best margaritas in Reston and Herndon. The drinks were on point, the vibe was fun, and there are plenty of photo ops if you’re making a night of it.

New brewery news for the Herndon area 🍺 Hawkley Brewing is moving into 257 Sunset Park Drive, a spot a lot of local craft beer fans already know from its previous brewery chapters. It’s a fun continuation of that little “brewery corridor” that’s been building around here.

This Reel is all about Beloved Yoga Sanctuary, a wellness focused studio right here in Reston (11109 Sunset Hills Road). It’s the kind of place that feels like an exhale the second you walk in.
⠀
One thing the owner said really stayed with me: where do you go where all your layers are acknowledged. Not just the physical layer, but the mental, social, and emotional layers too. That’s the heartbeat of this sanctuary, and it matters locally because Reston can feel fast paced, even when we’re surrounded by nature. Having a place like this nearby makes it easier to build calm into your actual routine.
⠀
Who it’s for: total beginners, seniors, anyone who needs to stay seated, and also the folks who want a stronger flow (they have options like Vinyasa and Karma Flow). They even offer classes that incorporate resistance bands, plus other services like massage therapy.
⠀
What to expect: a welcoming community vibe, a big lounge to gather before and after class (puzzles, books, and a live moss wall), and a space designed to feel peaceful, with natural elements like Shenandoah stone and warm wood details.
⠀
Practical tips: book through their online schedule before you go and double check details day of. If it’s your first visit, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can settle in without rushing. 🫖

@dsan2025 so much wrong with your comment including the four question marks.
@omarskhawaja why was it called that? why is my comment wrong?
@dsan2025
1. post is asking whether you like the new name or not.
2. Would you use “wth” in your comment if the post said “formerly Falcon HS” or something similar?
3. Try google for the history on this
@omarskhawaja i like the new name. and i wouldn’t say wth if it was falcon high school. but why king abdullah? sounds like a Arabic name. We are in America. 🇺🇸 we don’t even have kings.🤣
@omarskhawaja why king or prince? that’s not american.
@dsan2025 not sure if you actually understand what you’re doing in your comments or just totally ignorant or simply not from the DMV. So let’s try this: Does “Prince William’s County” bother you in the same way?
@dsan2025 the school was a private school founded by a saudi organization
@omarskhawaja why didn't you just explain? The person didn't understand where the original name came from 🤷♀️
@dsan2025 this is not a newly built school. It was a private school and FCPS bought it.
@mamacinotti thank you. he made it so complicated 😭
@mamacinotti gotcha. thank you 🙏
@omarskhawaja Pretty sure PWC isn’t run by the English monarchy, so not really an apt comparison. Besides Abdullah was a wretch
@_davidhnorton_ not the point for someone asking that didn’t know a thing about it except the name.
@_davidhnorton_ thank youuuuu. this omar clown 🤡 ain’t too smart
@omarskhawaja Fair point
@dsan2025 there are many places in the U.S. named after Kings and Queens including entire states. Notably, VA has multiple counties and cities named after nobility. You just don’t like that it King Abdullah sounds different (not white).
@jaminichiello yeah British kings or European kings is fine that’s part of our history. King Abdullah sounds like the leader of the Taliban.
@dsan2025 it was a private saudi school for international students.
@moha__ad_ad that makes sense thanks

New brewery news for the Herndon area 🍺 Hawkley Brewing is moving into 257 Sunset Park Drive, a spot a lot of local craft beer fans already know from its previous brewery chapters. It’s a fun continuation of that little “brewery corridor” that’s been building around here.
⠀
What to expect: a neighborhood taproom vibe, a lineup that leans approachable but still interesting, and plenty of reasons to come back as they release more beers. If you’re the kind of person who likes a crisp lager, a classic wheat beer, or an IPA with some bite, this one should be on your radar. 🍻
⠀
Why it matters locally: it keeps a well known brewing space active, supports a small business taking a big swing, and gives Herndon another easy meet-up spot that isn’t a full sit-down restaurant. Great for after-work hangs, casual weekend meetups, and anyone who likes trying a place early and watching it grow. 🙂
⠀
Practical tips:
− Their website lists planned hours (closed Mondays, Tue–Thu 4–9, Fri–Sat 12–10, Sun 12–7), but check before you go since opening timelines can shift. ⏰
− If you want an easier first visit, aim for a weekday evening earlier in the week or go right at opening on the weekend to beat the busiest stretch. 🚗
