Thomas Sweet
Arguably the best ice cream in town, in the historic Georgetown neighborhood. So good, that even RFK Jr. is spotted here sometimes. You can take a stroll through Dumbarton Oaks gardens on your way here (https://www.doaks.org/visit/plan).
Mia's Italian Kitchen
If you're staying in Old Town, this spot is on repeat as a date night pick for us!
St. Elmo's Coffee Pub - Old Town North
Our local coffee spot, with wine and beer in the after work hours. A perfect spot to hang, get some work done, or grab a pastry/coffee and walk down to the water and stroll the trail.
King Street
Those familiar with Hoboken Washington street will feel a similar historic charm! King Street is a historic mile long main street that has lots of local shops, cafes, bars, and arts! Check out the website here for more: https://visitalexandria.com/old-town/
