After successfully opening two locations, one in Leesburg and one in Middleburg, the oyster geniuses behind King Street Oyster Bar (named after King Street in Leesburg, not Alexandria) have ventured into the District for their third outpost.

Detour Coffee, in Arlington, VA, is nestled amongst convenience stores, gas stations and apartment complexes, causing many to take a detour from their every day agendas to pop in for coffee. What they might not realize upon entering is how amazing the food is, as well. While the coffee (and […]
