Zikrayet Lebanese Restaurant & Lounge will open on May 10th in rapidly-developing Old Town; this cosmopolitan Middle Easterner will offer a lustrous gold-, red-and-black backdrop for dining on Lebanese mezze and home-style entrees; relax on low couches with hookahs and flavored tobaccos and take in the loungey scene, which should really heat up when the DJ spins on Thursday–Saturday nights; N.B. sidewalk seating will also be available (540 Carlyle St., Alexandria, VA; 571-218-9839).
