On the heels of Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week—which takes place in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia from January 15–21, 2024—there are two other Restaurant Week events happening this month throughout Northern Virginia.
The first is Alexandria Restaurant Week, celebrated January 19–28 with a slew of dinner deals at more than 80 area eateries, including $30, $40 and $50 prix fixe menus.
While many of the participating restaurants are located in Old Town Alexandria, you shouldn’t sleep on the spots in the surrounding neighborhoods of Carlyle, Eisenhower Valley, Del Rey, Arlandria, West End and Greater Alexandria either.
Getting to Alexandria from Washington, D.C. takes about 20 minutes by car. It’s also accessible via the Metro’s Yellow or Blue lines to the King St–Old Town station, then by hopping on a free Dash city bus to reach your final destination.

To drive south of Dublin and cross into County Wicklow is to be confronted, almost immediately, with some of the most soaring, timeless scenery the Emerald Isle has to offer. This is the ‘Garden of Ireland’: a forested realm of steep, glacial valleys that climb dramatically to the stark uplands of the Wicklow Mountains. Its beauty has made it a site of pilgrimage since ancient times — between the sixth and 12th centuries, the valley of Glendalough was home to one of the most powerful and learned monasteries in all Christendom.
As president and CEO of one of Europe’s most prestigious flag carriers, Pieter Elbers was at the top of his game. He successfully navigated Dutch airline KLM through the 2010s and the worst of the pandemic – it seemed like there was little he couldn’t do.
Valentine’s Day is approaching and Brooklyn is the perfect space to celebrate. Cupid’s arrow totally extends to the outer boroughs, whether you’re looking for a low key pasta dinner, an intensely spicy Thai dinner, a luxe French-Japanese omakase meal, or a steakhouse feast.
A Victorian favourite once billed as the ‘Queen of Welsh resorts’, Llandudno has kept much of the charm that made it so popular. The curving promenade framing Llandudno Bay, the aroma of fish and chips wafting in the air, pastel-coloured art deco houses lining the seafront and old-fashioned amusements on Llandudno Pier all combine to deliver a quintessential British seaside break. The town also serves as gateway to a wealth of natural attractions in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and water-based adventures in Colwyn Bay. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, across the river of the same name, which has a mighty castle and Britain’s smallest house.
