Looking for a romantic meal this Valentine’s Day? Look no further than Hummingbird Bar and Kitchen. From the local oysters to the death by chocolate cake, the food is sure to leave you satisfied while the ambiance will make this a dinner you won’t soon forget.

Visitors to Hummingbird Bar & Kitchen have no doubt that the Washington Post is correct in calling this “Old Town’s most appealing place to eat.” Tucked inside the Hotel Indigo, Hummingbird prides itself on coastal classics, with an emphasis on seafood. No matter what you choose for your plate, it’s the general aesthetic of the Hummingbird Bar and Kitchen that creates its greatest appeal. The dining room and bar offer waterfront views, as does the patio. With the wintry additions of blankets and fire pits, it’s difficult to imagine a more enticing spot for your next date night.

Whether you’re celebrating your sweetheart with their favorite seafood or spending Valentine’s Day by a fire pit with river views, Hummingbird Bar and Kitchen will feed your heart alongside your stomach, with good eats and good times alike.

For Angela Phelps, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi to Paris. After visiting in 2000 and twice more, she realized that her love for the city of lights could transfer back to the States—and so, Le Village Marche was born. 

Specializing in vintage home decor and gifts with a Parisian appeal, the chic French aesthetic that captivated Phelps and countless other travelers is captured in gifts and other goods at the boutique. “This is not a small shop by any means,” writes one visitor, “but it has that very charming and welcoming feel when you enter & spend some time browsing.” That browsing is sure to be extensive: from soaps to cards and candles to baby goods, you’ll find something for every occasion, be it a birthday, holiday, or a little something special for yourself. 

Apron for Grandma? Check. Provincial bath products for your best friend? They’ll be smelling like lavender in no time. Present for your coworker mid-pregnancy? You’ll find something perfect at Le Village Marche. One reviewer put it best: “In all, a well-curated boutique that has enough unusual options you won't have to fear showing up at a housewarming/shower/wedding with the same thing someone bought at another French-themed shop.”

Everyone knows there's a lot of history in the Alexandria area, but were you aware that the city is also home to the nation's oldest continuously running farmers market? It's true! Locals have been shopping at Old Town Farmers' Market since the time when George Washington used to send the harvest from Mount Vernon to be sold here. A lot has changed since then, of course, but much remains the same: the tables are still piled high with colorful displays of freshly-picked fruits and veggies that were grown in the surrounding countryside. 

This year, the market has introduced online pre-ordering to the market, which allows you to enjoy the market, while also skipping all the lines. You just head to the website, scan the list of vendors, and place your order ahead of time. Each vendor will then have your order pre-packed and waiting for you when you arrive at their table.
