The Europeans have it right in a lot of ways: midday siestas, medieval architecture, specialty gourmet shops. It may be a while before sanctioned nap time happens around here, but you can get a taste of the Old World at Let’s Meat, a Euro-style butcher shop that opens in Alexandria tomorrow. After selling meat in the UK and Down Under, owner Steve Gatward came stateside to go out on his own. Let’s Meat gets daily deliveries from regional producers (Amish sausages from Pennsylvania, anyone?). And Gatward is happy to oblige special requests (hungry for ostrich?) with a day’s notice and grind beef to order for burgers. The store also stocks marinades, mustards, and sauces along with striped butchers’ aprons from England. Go ahead and pair your feast with Napa’s best pinot. At least we Americans got something right. Let’s Meat on the Avenue, 2403 Mount Vernon Avenue, at Oxford Avenue, Alexandria (703-684-6328). * E-mail * Save * Print * Text * Map See less

Though it seemed like a good idea in high school, opting for woodworking over home ec means that you can now whittle a set of Babushka dolls but you can’t make your clothes fit.

Whether you’d like to have a dress remade or a favorite piece copied with different fabric, Gilbert can produce a perfect fit. If you’re unsure about design choices, he will offer advice and multiple fittings. He also brings his steady hand to denim.
