Dragon Eatery is a great spot to take a quick break or grab a beer when you're down by Alexandria Pier. Just inside the family-friendly Pavilion food court behind the Torpedo Factory Art Center, it serves a traditional Chinese menu. Dishes come with a choice of rice or noodles; best-sellers include General Tso's, teriyaki and sesame chicken. There's plenty of weatherproof seating in the enclosed courtyard right on the pier.
