Old Town Alexandria, VA Field Guide

I visit Old Town almost as often as I visit Georgetown. Though Old Town is a bit further away, for some reason it feels more accessible and less chaotic - there is far less shopping, but King Street is much more walkable because you aren’t having to fight for space with an army of tourists. I also adore the character of the homes to the North and South of King Street, and could spend hours wandering along them. As you are strolling, be sure to check out Mason & Greens as well as Penny Post and Red Barn Mercantile - boutiques such as these feel few and far between near DC, so I make a point to go out of my way to visit these shops at least once a season.
