Rather than wait over an hour for seating, try the open bar - first come, first serve! You can order from the menu there too! Can't go wrong w/ the Eggs Benedict or the chicken waffles + Mac & cheese.
Skip the lines at Georgetown Cupcakes and head around the corner to this local favorite. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but our favorite is the Peanut Butter Sin-Wich. Read more.
Great selection of books at reasonable prices, with a lovely community-feel cafe. Try the waffles and bacon, and wander a bit to find something new to read. Location is convenient to bus and metro.
One of the best places in DC for a stroll, bike ride or to attend an event! Be sure to check whether there is anything going on before planning your walk. Great to visit during cherry blossom time🌸🏵
Absolutely worth the price of admission; the exhibitions can be quite powerful. Great that tickets includes a next-day visit at no charge.
Everything here is on point, Meat and cheese plate, Albóndigas are top top and the staff excellent, wine list and drink on point. Thank you 🙌🏻
Former part-time Ohioan here. This Jeni’s has all of the signature flavors, but they don’t have every variety of treat. Pints are available in flavors you can’t get at the fresh market or wegmans.
The brunch is fantastic and totally worth the price! $25 for a full 3 course mezze lunch + dessert. Incredibly delicious and one of the best places for brunch in DC.
worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it. get whatever the staff recommends. have a beer at the Wonderland Ballroom next door if you're waiting instead of room 11- save that 💰for dinner.
This combination cafe, restaurant, clothing store has an upstairs cafe with a rotating selection of savory options like the popular croissant with house-smoked salmon. Read more.
One of the main features is a path that runs along the curve of the river. It’s perfect for strolling and is extremely popular for joggers and bicyclists connecting with the Capital Crescent Trail. Read more.
Favorite. Sculpture garden and multi-level modern art museum in the heart of the mall; usually overlooked since few people can figure out the entrance. Worth the detour.
After a long day at museums, take a seat at the bar for happy hour: no wait, no fuss, more discounted oysters, clams on the half shell, and chilled crab claws than you know what to do with. Read more.
Union Market is a diamond in the rough in Northeast DC. A variety of artisan food and craft vendors, my favorite being Takorean, serving Korean-style tacos. A great place to spend an afternoon.
Incredible cocktail bar – the old fashioned menu is phenomenal! Get the "Right Side Up" or the "Cadiz" and you won't be disappointed! For a snack, the charcuterie plate or the furikake popcorn 👌
The Italian hoagie is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. People are great, vibe is cool. Go.
From black coffee to iced Nutella lattes to specialty nitrogen infused mint cold brews, Compass Coffee houses the perfect killer coffee. They make simple and flavorful fair trade brews. Read more.
Yes, there’s a solid selection of nigiri and sashimi for those who want to play it safe, but we recommend heading for more unfamiliar territory—like uni paired with Alabama white sauce. Read more.
Inventive menu. start with the pork sausage/lychee app (mix it up!). Popcorn soup is rich. Fried chicken - great mix of sweet and salty. Cacio e pepe 👍, pesto less so. French toast + foie gras = yum.
Aside from the main bar, it features a Whiskey Cellar, Prohibition Bar, and open air roof terrace to enjoy drinks and cigars while witnessing the revelry on 18th Street. Read more.
My favorite gelato place in DC! Get anything! Also great coffee and friendly service!
I was really impressed with the Tandori Chicken. And, of course, the crispy spinach is as great as others have said.
I discovered this coffee shop 3 weeks ago & have been back every weekend since. It's AMAZING! Great coffee, food AND customer service. Q is a really stand up guy, so much personality. BISCUIT SAMMICH
One of my favorite spots in DC. It's also the meeting place to meet up with my friend. I love how peaceful it can be.
Gorgeous! Come here for the peak blooms of the cherry blossom trees! It gets crowded, so try to come during the week and walk all the way around!
Get the Green Monster pie (fresh mozz and green things in season, such as zucchini and kale); the Julia (a salad’s worth of snow peas, asparagus, and pea-shoot pesto on a white pie). Read more.
Classic Northern California cafe's first intro to the east coast. Lots of unique coffee beverages here. Try an iced mint mojito on a warm day. It's delicious!
Great museum, very educational. You should get a bit early to get tickets to other exhibits. Also we really liked that they had a memorial wall about other nations who had genocide
I love this place! The oysters and the wine are out of this world. Each time we go I have great service. Get there early the best oysters go quick!
What an experience! Be sure to call ahead to reserve your spot. Sitting at the bar is a great experience and the bartender puts on a great show. You can't go wrong with any cocktail, their menu rocks!
