How to Reach the Before-Meeting Resturants

Each evening before the main event, a few of the NoVaDWVS members like to get together to catch a bit of supper before the show. We have choosen Fuddruckers resturant as our establishment of convenience and choice. Fuddruckers is located at 3575 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA; at the north-east corner of Chain Bridge Road (Route 123) and Main St. (US 29).

Coming from the North and South West
Take I495 to I66 West. From I66, get off at exit 62, Chain Bridge Rd. south. At the intersection of Chain Bridge Rd. and US 29, take a left and then another immediate left into the car dealership. Drive around and behind the car dealership to get to Fudruckers.

Coming from the North West
Take either the Dulles Toll Road or Sunrise Valley Rd. until it becomes Hunter Mill Rd. south. Follow Hunter Mill Rd. for a couple of miles until you reach Lawyers Rd. Take a left onto Lawyers Rd. and follow it until you come to Chain Bridge Rd. in Vienna. Take a right onto Chain Bridge Rd. and follow it for aproximately 2 miles until you reach the intersect of US 29. Take a left onto US29 and follow the directions above for getting to the resturant.

From the Resturant to the Government Centre
Getting from the resturant to the government centre is easy. As we all leave as a group you can simply follow the regulars to the meeting or if you get lost simply take US 29 South/West for about 2 miles until you reach Monument Dr. Take a right onto Monument Dr. and then a left at the second light onto Government Centre Parkway. If you took the first light by accident this is also Government Centre Parkway because it loops around. If you come from the reverse direction, the Government Centre will eventually be on your right, otherwise it should be on your immediate left.
