Flickr Finds: Escaping to Old Town Alexandria, VA

Need a quick escape this weekend? How about Old Town, Alexandria? Lounge by the Potomac (or maybe even sail by, if you're lucky!). Shop the antique stores on King Street and admire the old stone houses...

Loving the bright lime green paint on that store front!

Of all the neighborhoods in the DC Metro Area, Old Town is my favorite - like it waaay more than Georgetown. Capitol Hill is a close second.

Wish I could afford it - instead, I live in the Del Ray neighborhood, adjacent (north) to Old Town. I suppose I could use the old real estate agent's trick of referring to my neighborhood as "North Old Town, Alexandria" or "Old Town North, Alexandria."

if anyone drops by and hasn't tried it yet, I highly recommend Asian Bistro for a lovely lunch. They have a nice sushi bar too.
