With winter firmly behind us, it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors once again!
Earlier this year, Southern Living Magazine named Alexandria one of the South’s Prettiest Cities. Plus, the area has been listed among the country’s most pet-friendly communities, most bike-friendly, coolest downtowns and best for foodies.
Alexandria Restaurant Partners embraces all of these honors, offering outdoor dining at all seven of their fantastic restaurants, including Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap, The Majestic, Palette 22, Virtue Feed & Grain, Vola’s Dockside Grill, Joe Theismann’s, and the newly opened Mia’s Italian Kitchen.
Whether you’re watching the Potomac River drift by on the dock at Vola’s, people watching on the patio at Palette or enjoying family-style brunch at Mia’s, nothing beats lingering over a meal outside with friends on a nice day.
It’s not yet the dog days of summer, but ARP welcomes you and your furry friends to join them at Lena’s, Palette 22, Vola’s, and Virtue. All three restaurants offer a Dog Menu that includes Pupsicles, ‘Doggie’s Dream’ (beef & rice), or a 5 oz. grilled (rare) sirloin steak.
“Our dog menus have been a big hit,” said Marketing Director Emily Klassen, “and are well received by the many dog lovers at our restaurants in Alexandria and Arlington.”
Palette 22 also offers Yappy Hour on Tuesday evenings thru September from 4-7 p.m., offering deals for dogs and their humans—so dogs can join in the fun too!
Several of ARP’s restaurants in the Old Town neighborhood are great places for family outings (whether your family includes a four-legged member or not).
This summer, Klassen recommends taking the Old Town Trolly from King Street, and working up an appetite at the parks along the Mount Vernon Trail. Some of ARP’s restaurants are just a stone’s throw from the trail for bicyclists, and Mia’s, Vola’s or Virtue are perfect spots for post-ride refueling.
Alexandria Restaurant Partners operates several award-winning restaurants in the region.
