There is something for everyone at the National Harbor with fun and exciting restaurants like Ketchup to the ritzy like, Graces Mandarin. If you don’t need ambiance and a good sandwich is what you are in store for; try Potbelly Sandwich Works. Those folks watching their weight should stay far away from Cake Love and Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Cake Love is a dream bakery created by Food network host and a DC local Warren Brown. Cake Love has your favorite cakes but better than you remember. After eating, walk off those extra pounds. Stop in the Gaylord Hotel and enjoy the Atrium. Then take a relaxing water taxi ride into Old Towne Alexandria. There is plenty to see and do in Old Towne; from the street performers to the mall. There is even a park if you want to play Frisbee, walk a dog or just chill. If it’s been too long since your last meal, Old Towne has great restaurants too. The great thing is you’ll definitely be able to walk off the pounds in Old Towne. Great shops here as well. Between the two places you can spend an entire day.
