Steeped in history, rich with tradition, the United States Botanic Garden (USBG) is a living plant museum that informs visitors about the importance, and often irreplaceable value, of plants to the well-being of humans and to earth's fragile ecosystems. More than 200 years ago, George Washington had a vision for the capital city of the United States that included a botanic garden that would demonstrate and promote the importance of plants to the young nation. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1820, the U.S. Botanic Garden is one of the oldest botanic gardens in North America. Since 1934, it has been administered through the Architect of the Capitol.

Food Scene

In the shadow of the Capitol, dotted with members-only restaurants, might be the last place you’d expect to find a typical neighborhood greasy spoon. Yet just a few blocks east of the Capitol steps sits Jimmy T’s Place, a cash-only, sass-heavy hole in the wall greasy spoon that has steadily become a Hill institution. Much of the diner’s décor remains the same as when its doors opened 50 years ago. Breakfast is the best. Be prepared for a wait on weekends.
Exclusive "no reservation" dining experience for the discerning foodie. A “happy dining experience” awaits at this Capitol Hill New American that wins accolades for an “over-the-top delicious” menu that’s small plates–centric and “not afraid of bold flavors and some heat”; from its “hip, farmhouse style” to the “sweet” servers that steer the table in “all the right directions”, it’s no wonder that most find it “worth the wait” – no reservations are accepted.
