The Neighborhood:
Just beyond the bustle of D.C., Alexandria unfolds like a storybook, where cobblestone streets whisper tales of the past and every turn reveals a bit of magic. Here, centuries-old rowhouses stand proud beneath leafy trees, and the Potomac glimmers alongside winding trails and quiet benches perfect for lingering. Mornings begin with gentle strolls by the water, followed by a sweet stop at The Creamery, where ice cream tastes just like childhood. As the sun sets, Union Street Public House welcomes you in with its flickering lanterns and colonial charm, serving up hearty fare and warm conversation. And when you crave the energy of the city, the heart of Washington, D.C. is just steps away; close enough to feel the buzz, yet far enough to enjoy the calm. From tucked-away boutiques and vibrant art galleries to festivals that fill the air with music and laughter, Alexandria invites you to slow your pace, look a little closer, and savor the wonder woven into every street.
