Smashburger: The Smashfries Will Leave an Impression

May 5, 2015 2:44 pm

A dash of olive oil, a sprinkle of rosemary, and a hint of garlic transform typical fries into Smashburger's signature Smashfries, one of the most popular snacks to eat alongside a burger. The haystack onions are regarded just as highly by eaters who want to add a little crunch to their meal. Either way, the fried grub makes for a perfect accompaniment to the main course: a burger or sandwich.

The Classic Smash comes piled with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and a dollop of ketchup, plus the house's signature Smash Sauce. For something a bit heftier, try the burger topped with applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, and ketchup and mustard. You can also take a healthier route with the black bean burger outfitted with avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch dressing, all tucked inside of a multigrain bun. Go for a chicken sandwich instead if you're watching what you eat (the calories count of each menu item is listed beneath it on the menu).

Catch a Movie at Dusk at Waterfront Park

April 28, 2015 1:25 pm

Waterfront Park flickers to life during the warm summer months. That's when residents of Alexandria and nearby D.C. flock to the aptly named park for beautiful views of the water and an ice cream cone. According to one Yelp reviewer, the park plays host to three different ice cream stands—but be prepared to stand in line, because on a sunny day, they all have one. If you need a full meal, many restaurants also reside within walking distance of Waterfront Park.

Plus, the city puts on free movies on the park throughout the summer. Pack up a picnic basket and blanket and bring your whole clan to enjoy one of the family-friendly films or classics at dusk. Of course, there doesn't have to be a special event for you to pay a visit to Waterfront Park. On any day when the sun shines, go for a stroll here or throw around a football. It's located right in the heart of Old Town, so there will always be plenty to see.
