Alexandria and national harbor

Oh Alexandria, what a beautiful small town you are.  Although I didn’t find much to do in Alexandria, it is definitely near everything!  You can reach DC, Georgetown and National Harbor within minutes.  I will say, I found King Street and the waterfront to be great in Alexandria.  They have great views, boutiques and restaurants.  Their ice cream is delicious and freshly made.  My top 3 restaurants that did not disappoint were Brabo Tasting Room, Vaso’s  Mediterranean Bistro and Blackwall Hitch. 

Brabo Tasting Room was very tasty.  I literally only went there to try their famous muscles.  It was definitely not a disappointment.  The muscles had a white wine sauce that was the icing on the cake.   Not only was the food delicious, the service was great.

I love Greek food and I always try to find good Greek restaurants or Mediterranean restaurants. So I decided to try Vaso’s Mediterranean Bistro because it had great reviews.  I must say, the reviews are very accurate.  I went there for dinner and I was told they didn’t have the Greek/gyro platter for dinner. It was a bummer and I almost walked out.  However, because customer service was ammmmazing they still served me what I went there for.  The food was exquisite.  If you are ever in town, make sure to give them a try. 

Lastly, Blackwall Hitch was a great restaurant/bar.  It was right on the waterfront and it had a great view.  I got the Chesapeake steamer boil. OMG it was heaven on earth.  It had snow crab legs, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, potatoes, corn and sausage.  If you are a seafood lover, this is worth a try. 
I also took a water taxi to National Harbor which is located in Maryland. I must say it was beautiful piece of gem.  It is kind of like a boardwalk right by the water.  They even have a huge screen that plays movies some days.  I went to Redstone American Grill and the view is lovely, the environment is super fun and the drinks are amazing.  The service is one of the best services I’ve ever had.  The entire staff is friendly and knows exactly how to treat their customers.
