John worked in Alexandria for 7 years and knows the town well. Some of his favorites are Brabo and Hank's Oyster Bar. Fun fact! Annabeth also used to work in Alexandria and their very first date was actually a ~lunch date~ during work hours; they got sushi at Momo.

If beers are your drink of choice, have a beer flight at award-winning Port City Brewery or check out Bilbo Baggins for their extensive global beer list. If you are feeling adventurous try and find the local speakeasy PX.

Plenty of shopping to do in Alexandria! Walk down King Street and you'll find boutiques, art galleries, and jewelry stores. Don't feel like walking back up? The trolley is free and runs all day.

Alexandria is very close to George Washington's home Mount Vernon. If you'd rather stay in the city, you can check out a colonial tour or even a GHOST TOUR of Alexandria. BOO!

National Harbor is across the river from Alexandria and has plenty to do! There is the brand new MGM Casino, an outlet mall, ferris wheel, and plenty of other shopping and restaurants.
