Hitting the trail? Bonus points if you bring your furry friend along.

We already know you’re cool. You read NOVAtoday — or if you don’t, you can start by subscribing here — so you’ve got the scoop on what’s happening around town. But what about what’s hot and what’s not for this spring?

As we finally start defrosting, here’s a list of our hot (or at least lukewarm) takes:

  • In: Getting some fresh air with a ride along the Mount Vernon Trail — bonus points if you bring along a horchata latte or paleta from Mpanadas to keep yourself refreshed.
  • Out: Shopping big-box. Let’s get local: What are your favorite small businesses in your neighborhood? Comment below.
  • In: Grabbing fresh foods from the Arlington Farmers Market — including, of course, a homemade biscuit from Three Puppies Treats for your furever friend.
  • Out: Working out indoors. Check out these run clubs for some al fresco adventure instead.

Now we’re passing the mic to you: What are some NOVA ins + outs for you this spring and summer?
