I too am a bit worried about the “social aspects” of the Sheraton, but here are a couple of suggestions. First of all, the hotel, I think is going to be great for the convention as one only has to take an elevator up to your room.

My daughter went to a 2 week leadership Seminar at this hotel last summer and it is really very nice with plenty of lobby cubbyholes as well as lots of room around the pool. BYOB. When we went to take her and pick her up we found some pretty darn good places to eat.

We ate at all three of these:

Mc Keevers Pub (American): - Address: 6625 Old Dominion Dr, McLean, Va 22101 - Phone: 703.790.5164 A normal bar--great hamburgers and good selection of beer on tap Right next door to Cafe Tatti

Cafe Tatti: - Address: 6627 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Va 22101 - Phone: 703-790-5164 A relatively inexpensive French country restaurant--excelllent and “reasonable”

Le Petit Mistral: - Address: 6710 Old Dominion Dr., McLean, Va 22101 - Phone: 703-748-4888 “best scallops and desert I think I have ever eaten--expensive, but the snails were great also

Along that same road, there was a great Turkish restaurant that we ate in but cannot remember the name.

All the above are within 10 minutes driving of hotel.

But Mc Keevers Pub could be a good place. A nice normal neighborhood bar.

There were also two or three large clubs in Tyson’s corner, albeit the drinks not cheap.
