Things To Do
Explore King Street
Stroll down the red-brick sidewalk on this beautiful tree-lined mile-long street filled with independent boutiques and unique restaurants. On Saturday morning, a farmers market since 1753 showcases local fruits & vegetables, plus meats, flowers & baked goods (pro tip- we love the Coulter’s farm chocolate milk and any of their cheese). We love grabbing coffee at Misha’s and walking around Old Town on Saturday morning. There are also plenty of boutiques and antique stores along King Street for those who want to shop til they drop.
Stroll Along the Waterfront
We love strolling along Old Town’s waterfront with Dunder. The trail along Founders park is a great walk. Head north on the trail to Washington Sailing Marina or south will take you down to Jones Point (you’ll see the old boundary stone that was used when Alexandria was once a part of Washington, DC until 1846)
Take A Ghost Tour!
Follow a colonial costumed guide by lantern light through the charming streets of Alexandria’s historic district, Old Town. On this entertaining tour you’ll hear ghost stories, legends and folklore. Our wedding is Halloween weekend and this will surely get you into the spooky spirit!!
Historic Landmark Walking Tour
We are putting together a map with historic landmarks and an Old Town walking guide for our guests. Check your welcome bag when you arrive. Our wedding ceremony will be at one of the famous Alexandrian historic landmarks, Christ Church - where George Washington used to attend himself.
The Majestic
Established in 1932, The Majestic has been an important landmark of Old Town dining for over 80 years. We love going here for dinner! Their brunch is amazing too.
Fish Market Restaurant & Bar
Fresh seafood and 32 oz schooners… need we say more?
BARCA Pier & Wine Bar
Make a reservation for brunch at Barca along the waterfront. This is a great spot to relax, enjoy Spanish tapas and sangria.
Go to a Pub
You’ll find Rich Foley at Daniel O’Connells any Saturday morning there’s a rugby game to watch. You’ll find Davey Marrin at Murphy’s anytime he’s craving mozzarella sticks and a Guinness. Either way, if you like enjoying a beer at an Irish pub you will enjoy O’Connell’s or Murphy’s pub.
La Fromagerie Cheese and Wine Bistro
Great wine and cheese, paired by a somm.
