For years the joke was that McLean's restaurant scene was whatever Tysons decided to build that month. That's quietly stopped being true. In the last nine months, three separate operators have planted stakes on a single block of Old Dominion Drive, and Tysons itself has pivoted from putting up towers to programming the ones already standing. If your summer calendar still defaults to the mall, the map has moved on you.
The Old Dominion Corner Nobody Saw Coming
The most interesting address in McLean right now is the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and the Chesterbrook Shopping Center strip. Three operators are clustered inside 500 feet of each other, and none of them existed here a year ago.
