Brunch at La Madeleine
The Alexandria Brunch Club is a long running brunch event. We're a friendly bunch of people of different backgrounds, who enjoy a nice morning brunch and fun conversations.
As has been the tradition, La Madeleine's in Old Town Alexandria is our place for brunching on a Sunday of every month.
I find that a Sunday brunch is nice way to socialize and to just get myself out of the house. Afterward, Old Town, the Potomac and the myriad of parks are nice places for strolling after breakfast.
BEST PARKING IN OLD TOWN

111 S Pitt St - Same side as La Madeliene, Two Doors Down
Usually $1/hour Weekends and after 5pm, Weekdays
For any questions and such feel free to message me. I am the main organizer.
