I have lots of love for Old Town Alexandria, not only because its where our shop + studio is located but because its a super charming area with lots of great locally owned shops. Here are my favorites eats + shops ...
If you visit D.C., its a 15 minute drive from the city and about a 20 minute metro ride. Worth an afternoon visit! : )
Shop links: Fromagerie, Butcher's Block, Red Barn Mercantile, Fifteen/Eleven, Society Fair, Lavender Moon Cupcakery, Pop's Ice Cream, Brabo Tasting Room, Olio Olive Oil
