DC has a way of surprising you. Once you get beyond the hustle and bustle, you’ll find a city where life just happens. It’s in the small moments—neighbors chatting at local shops, kids playing in the parks, and friends gathering over coffee. You can really feel the community spirit, making it easy to settle in and feel at home.

Then there’s Alexandria, just a stone’s throw away. It’s got a relaxed, charming vibe with its cobblestone streets and waterfront paths. It’s the kind of place where you can take a leisurely walk, grab a bite to eat, or just hang out by the water. It feels cozy and inviting, like a little escape from the city buzz.

Together, DC and Alexandria create a nice balance. DC is full of energy and excitement, while Alexandria offers a slower pace when you need a breather. Both places have their unique charm, making them feel like home to anyone who spends time there 🇺🇸

Albi

The Michelin-starred restaurant is a culinary destination that brings modern Levantine flavors to DC's Navy Yard.

Chef-owner Michael Rafidi, whose Middle Eastern heritage inspires the menu, curates a unique experience with dishes like smoky lamb kebabs and saffron-kissed chicken skewers. The place is renowned for its use of local ingredients.

Inside is a wood-fired hearth, which infuses every bite with a delicate, smoky flavor. Albi means “my heart” in Arabic and inside the restaurant’s space is contemporary yet cozy. 

$$$$ - Levantine - The tasting menu was genuinely life-changing. Worth every single penny.
