Nights on the Town: Fireflies in Alexandria, Virginia

Imagine a cute downtown area on a cool, crisp fall evening. Two friends adventuring to a new place to see if the reviews are true. Live music and popcorn served to you when you take a seat (like you would be given chips & salsa at a Mexican restaurant). We went to Fireflies in Alexandria, Virginia. I think it was a part of Alexandria known as Del Ray. Either way, it was a quaint little area of town we ventured too. I loved it. It reminded me of Annapolis, just missing the water and the boats.

And let me not forget that the Happy Hour prices were Amazing! Rail drinks for $3.99, wines for $4.99, and lots of delicious treats like the huge $5.99 pizzas we got for dinner. We weren't there late enough for the live music but we did see the band walk in. I guess whenever we go back there, we'll have to make sure we are there when the live music is.

Christie's spinach & feta pizza.

My mushroom & green peppers pizza.

There was no way in the world I could finish that whole pizza, so I have lunch for one day of school and maybe a little snack one afternoon, possibly dinner. Super thin crust, so you had to fold it like a taco to enjoy its deliciousness.

I cannot wait for our next adventure. Apparently, there's this Lord of the Rings themed restaurant/bar that we're going to travel to sometime in the future. We'll see what week we're feeling the Frodo feel. As for now - go check out Fireflies! Absolutely delectable and affordable happy hour prices!

Anyone know about any hole in the wall places that are a must go to near them? Any suggestions on places Christie & I should check out in Northern Virginia? I want to hear about your experiences!
