[SkateDC] Alexandria Saturday Lunch Recommendations

[George Marinkovich]

As you know Skate DC Weekend is fast approaching over the horizon and the Saturday (5/2/09) Skate this year is going to Old Town Alexandria.  While in Old Town we'll be eating lunch.  So, I'll bet you can see where this is headed:  we are looking for any recommendations you care to share about nice places to have lunch in Old Town on a Saturday.  Remember, most of us will be skating to Alexandria and all of us will be skating back, so the restaurant should be casual or at least tolerant of people who look like they just finished skating.   A place with great food and relatively inexpensive prices would be ideal.  Bonus points for being close to the intersection of King and Union Streets.

Some possibilities to get the ball rolling:

Pita House (Middle Eastern and Vegetarian)
407 Cameron Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

Red Mei (Asian)
602 King St
Alexandria, VA 22314

Hard Times (Chili)
1404 King St
Alexandria, VA 22314

La Piazza (Italian)
535 E Braddock Rd
Alexandria, VA 22314

Scoop Grill (Ice Cream)

110 King St.

Alexandria, VA 22314

Ideas?  Recommendations?  Suggestions?  Comments?   All are welcome.

Thanks,
George
