The best way to experience Alexandria? Explore the flavors and finds that residents enjoy every day. Port City Brewing Company is a great place to start, drawing fans of its award-winning craft beers. Next, check out The Old Town Farmers Market, where local artisans sell fresh bread, specialty cheeses and hand-carved trinkets. You can even take some authentic Alexandria home with you.
