"One of America's most visited historic sites, Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington, who lived here from the time of their marriage in 1759 until George's death in 1799. Regular guided tours of the furnished main house give a fascinating insight into the Washingtons' daily life, and self-guided tours of the outbuildings and gardens estate offer plenty of opportunities to interact with actors offering first-person narratives of working and living on the 18th-century plantation."
"After your time in Inner Harbor, take a short stroll into the town of Mount Vernon and grab a bite."
"Kyoto Sushi, a sushi bar and Japanese spot that offers seafood and more in Fairlington-Bradlee, is another go-to, with four stars out of 208 Yelp reviews. Head over to 3676 King St. to see for yourself. The menu focuses on bento-style boxes, but includes a range of traditional options (as well as some Korean dishes, like bulgogi)."
"Address: Yamazato, 6303 Little River Turnpike #120, Alexandria, Virginia 22312. Although they make sushi and sashimi a top priority, there's a bit of everything on the menu at Yamazato. Offering maki and spicy crunchy rolls plus nigiri sushi in every flavor anyone could want, Yamazato's most popular flavors include Ume Shiso, Natto, and Flying Fish Roe."
"This Japanese-fusion restaurant is always a go-to because it’s far from your typical sushi joint. With both sushi and tacos on the menu, KAiZEN has anything you’re craving and is the perfect solution when you can’t decide what to eat. As a sushi fanatic, it’s safe to say I’ve tried most of the rolls in Alexandria, and this place wins for both flavor and atmosphere."
"Looking for a classic slice of Americana that you and the kids can enjoy?. Head to Johnny Rockets where you will be transported back to the 1950s. Kids can chose from several different meals including hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and grilled cheese."
"If you’re in the mood for an old-school diner to eat at with your family or friends, head to the Table Talk diner. It’s got a relaxed vibe and every diner classic you’d expect for breakfast. Affordable food at a chill place is what a good breakfast is all about."
"If you are looking for the big, hearty, New Jersey diner feel, then hit Table Talk!. All of its homemade classic meals and omelets are served with home fries. Table Talk’s generous servings will surely fill you up for the day."
"Kilwins is another example of a nostalgia-inducing ice cream shop, where you can watch as the staff creates confections including traditional salt water taffy, fudge, caramels and chocolates. If the heavenly smell doesn’t bring out your inner kid, the taste will. Order a scoop of strawberry chunk or toasted coconut, then head two blocks down to the waterfront to enjoy your sweet treat."
