Or even one of the other Silver line stations.

I plan to be on the first train headed to Wiehle-Reston East myself. Reston Town Center is a decent spot to hang out, and not an unreasonable walk from that station either--about a mile and a half. If you want someplace right next to one of the new Metro stops, there's a plaza opening up next to the Tysons Corner stop on the 25th that will apparently have a Shake Shack open on that day. Not sure how much else will be there, though.
