Christmas in the DC Area

The DC area is brimming with hot things to do during the cold winter months.  Christmas shopping in Old Town Alexandria is a delight - never needing to enter a mall again.  Whether you love Williams Sonoma, Ann Taylor, The Gap, Banana Republic or hitting the charming independently owned shops and galleries such as Wayne Fisher's American Design, Imperfections,  there is something for everyone.  Bring your whole family for a day of people watching, street vendors, and after all the festivities, you can enjoy a delightful meal at any number of local haunts; Restaurant Eve is just two doors away from Exit Metro Realty,  Bertuccis, La Madelaine, Fish Market are welcoming places to warm your hands and enjoy good fare. And for those cooking this season, do your holiday food shopping at Trader Joe's at 612 N. St. Asaph St.

Old Town Alexandria is not far from a charming neighborhood - Del Ray, a quaint neighborhood of charming homes, stores, restaurants and that home-town feeling.  There you will find you've stepped back in time...
