Old Town Alexandria on the Virginia side of the river is another great area, with plenty to fill up a day or a week of casual
touristing. But since we live close by,
we get to sample this quaint, historic place a little at a time. One of our favorites is the Tiffany Tavern on
King Street, where local and regional bluegrass bands play every Friday and
Saturday night (no cover!). The laid-back
venue is perfect for hours of knee-slapping and boot-tapping—and the bleu cheese burgers
are excellent. Thanks to Andy at work
for telling me about it. Up the street, Misha’s Coffeehouse is one of Kris’ favorites (along
with the Turkish bowl shop nearby), and we both enjoy hanging by the harbor and
rambling through the neighborhoods. It’s
an easy walk from the bar to the Metro, which allows us to linger late and
still be home at a respectable hour.
We’ve also taken the foot ferry back to Georgetown in the summer when it
was toasty warm out at dusk.
