Silver Diner Continues DMV Takeover With Plans to Open First Alexandria Location | Eater DC

"It's a local chain that marries classic American road‑trip food with contemporary trends of farm‑sourcing and flexitarian cooking; founded in 1989 and based in Rockville, the diner is expanding with its 17th restaurant planned next summer inside the mixed‑use West Alex development at the corner of King Street and North Beauregard Street in Alexandria. The chain has planted locations across Maryland and Virginia and has one outpost in New Jersey, and there's already a nearby Silver Diner at the Springfield Mall." - Gabe Hiatt
