First Thursday in Alexandria’s Del Ray Neighborhood Is All About the Food
September 4th, 2008 Categories: Del Ray, Things to Do
Tonight Del Ray’s First Thursday celebration was all about food. Restaurants and businesses alike had a little something for everyone. We had wine at the Daily Planet, spring rolls from Thai Peppers, UPS truck cookies from the Mailbox store, sausage samples from Let’s Meat on the Avenue, etc. etc.
There was a contest for the best entree with local establishments offering their finest. We didn’t hear the winner but we do know that new kid on the block La Strada was winning some votes with a mouth watering stuffed pork loin.
And because, or perhaps in spite of the fact that it is an election year, U.S. Congressman Jim Moran was on hand to help judge the cookie contest. Donated by friends and neighbors alike, they were still judging when we needed to slip away but my vote was for the oatmeal heath bar cookies . . . .Is there anyone who can tell us who the winners are?
Strolling down the Avenue, you might have seen Elena and her “puppy” Cheby by way of Texas A&M,
or a row of baby carriages for sale at Why the Rooster Crows,
diners at Cheestique,
U.S. Senator Jim Moran,
a musical lemonade stand,
and maybe our favorite, a representative from the Children’s Society Against Whaling.
Next month signals the end of First Thursday for 2008, so be sure and mark your calendars for October 2nd and we’ll see you on the Avenue.
