King Street Cafe
Walk in, order from the counter and breakfast is served on styrofoam, with plastic utensils. We were hoping for a place with full service, but stumbled in here. Styrofoam service is not bad, if the tastes are good. Price is right!
My over easy eggs were cooked just right, bacon just the right amount of crispy. Bonus points for no frozen butter and no cold syrup for my french toast.
Good place for quick breakfast!

Asian Bistro
After a day on Amtrak and about 8 miles of walking around DC and Alexandria, we were tired and hungry. We literally picked this place because it was right next to our Airbnb. None of us were really craving Asian, but here we were.
Well, Look no further if you are looking for an explosion of tastes in Old Town, Alexandria. Starving or not, we would have recognized the expertise in the chef's knowledge this cuisine.
Three of us ordered to share. The rolls were outstanding, the warmth complimenting the textures. We could actually taste the crab in the Crab Rangoons. This is not always the case, often times, whatcha get is some cream cheese without any hint of crab. The General Tso's Chicken was fresh, clean and crisp tasting. I'm not really a fan because I usually sense a smokey flavor. No smokey here. Perfection! My friend ordered a tofu dish with vegetables that was probably some of the best flavored tofu I'd ever eaten. THAT takes talent! My choice was a shrimp and cashew fried rice which was so flavorful I couldn't stop.
With all the restaurants to chose from in Old Town, I would make it a point to stop here at Asian Bistro. It's on my "gotta go here again" list.

The University of the Arts
I am head over heals with this school. My son is in his freshman year there and I've never seen him so happy. He lives off campus and is completely overwhelmed by the course load, BUT this is a good thing. H says, "I'd think something was wrong if I were paying $40,000 per year on a school and not being challenged". This from a young man who has been acting professionally since he was 10 years old and comes to UArts with much training under his belt. I don't think he could have made a better decision!
I see complaints about staff. I've never seen this...every time I've had to contact financial aid or admissions, I'm greeted with efficiency and professionalism.
As t the remark about UArts being deceptive...My son applied to many schools and the room and board is NOT part of the tuition, it's separate in every school. Living in a dorm is expensive and UArts is no exception. We are able to save at least $8000 a year by living off campus.
