Note to “Northern Virginia Hangout Spots, April 16, 2025”

The real magnet in Tyson’s Galleria or “Tyson’s II” is actually a small and very casual Saudi-owned coffee stand on the very end of the third floor called “Shotted.” But come down to the second floor, and tucked away to the side when you approach the floor midway is the entrance which then takes you down a winding hallway to the Ritz-Carlton lobby. And in the middle of the lobby you find “Entyse.” You get the mass and the herd on one end of the place, and then you get this on the other end. Luxury and a level up. I guess it depends on what you want. What suits you in terms of style and taste. I’m content and happy with either or. With both.
