Explore where we first met and where we have since made our home. From restaurants to shops to cocktail bars, Old Town Alexandria has so many places to see! Old Town is walkable and close to the King Street Metro Station.

Some of our favorite places are:

- Coffee (Fresh Baguette, ESP Tea & Coffee, Misha's Coffee)

- Restaurants (Augie's Mussel House and Beer Garden, Josephine, BARCA Pier & Wine Bar, 1799 Prime Steak & Seafood)

- Shops (Shop Made in Virginia)

- Cocktail bars (The People's Drug, The Study at Morrison House)

Via ride share or the Metro (King Street - Blue/Yellow), explore DC's impressive (and, free!) Smithsonian Museums.

- National Zoo

- Natural History Museum

- African American History and Culture Museum

- Air and Space Museum

- Hirshhorn

- Portrait Gallery

If you're a golfer like Guerby, use ride share or drive about 15 minutes into Maryland to visit Topgolf. We suggest you make a reservation for the bay to ensure you're able to get the time you want!

Just 15 minutes from Alexandria via car, MGM has many restaurants to try. And, a casino!

If you want to see more of Virginia and get out of the city, drive about an hour west to this dog-friendly brewery where we had our second date.
