Known to some as a suburb of DC, historic Alexandria is a beautiful, charming and personality-filled destination with plenty of flavor all on its own. From the hustle and bustle of Arlington to rubbing elbows with politicians at The Peking Duck, the area contains thousands of opportunities for sightseeing, eating, and taking in the culture. Wander on the Metro line up to the historic Ford Theater and take in a show where Lincoln met his demise, or look across the Potomac River and see land that was trod on by the forefathers of our country, but don’t expect to be ignored, cut off or ostracized, because this historic city is as friendly as it is pleasant.

 

Five star restaurants and foodie trucks abound, from Hell’s Kitchen to BBQ joints, and don’t forget the beer and whiskey culture. George Washington’s distillery is seasonally open, just down the road from his historic estate at Mt. Vernon, just a quick daytrip down from the King Street district, where Gadsby’s Tavern lies, a historic favorite of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison & James Monroe.

 

The area is more than just history; with a vibrant and dynamic multicultural community, opportunities for sightseeing, hospitality and food abound! Why not check it out today?
