Many thanks to all who joined the Annual Taste of Old Town North on September 29th!
Much fun was had by all! Our apologies to the Old Town North Alliance, Local Motion, Ivy Hill Cemetery Historical Preservation Society, and Expert Handyman for omitting their names in our thanks to supporters of the Taste. The fun continues through the month of October with special events and action activities for all ages and interests.
“We love being part of Taste of Old Town North each year as it gives us a chance to support the community in a unique and fun way.”
~ Jula Coggins, Café 44

Café 44 is a stylish American eatery situated along the Waterfront in Old Town Alexandria. They cater to a local crowd, attracting those who appreciate a spectacular view, quality food, great wine and craft cocktails. Whether you are a regular or a first-time guest, you are received with warmth and enthusiasm.
Hank’s Oyster Bar, named after our chef and restaurateur’s father Hank Leeds, has been serving up the freshest and widest selection of East and West coast oysters, local coastal favorites, and New England beach fare classics to locals and visitors alike since 2005.
Come try our award winning raw bar options like the fully loaded Seafood Plateau or tuck into some fan favorite like our Maine style lobster roll, fried oyster po’boy, crab cake platter, and molasses braised short ribs. AND…don’t forget the oysters including the Salty Wolfe: our proprietary oyster grown in the lower Chesapeake Bay!
