Many count this as one of the top three restaurants in DC. As a result, it is almost impossible to get a reservation short of 30 days out. We recommend going early (around 5) to see if you can get a table. Or, sit at the bar. The food, the wine, the service; everything is amazing and close to perfect.

This is my favorite place to hang out in the neighborhood. They have a great happy hour from 5-7 Monday - Friday and 3:30 - 6:30 weekends. The food is all cooked in their woodburning oven and they have the best patio in the neighborhood. Jordan (the owner) and Leia (manager) are incredibly hospitable. Please tell them you are my guest and I highly recommended it, if you go.

They have delicious baked goods and make a mean breakfast sandwich. Note they are closed on Tuesdays. They import their bagels from New Jersey and they are delicious!

They have really good ramen - and incredible drinks. One of the best happy hours around and it runs from 4-7 every night. In nice weather try and catch a seat on the patio.

Apparently Esquire named this one of the best dive bars in the US. Check it out before it all changes. Cash only - and live music on Sunday night with Granny & the Boys is NOT to be missed! They only take cash - so make sure you have some when you go!

This is a distillery - with a bar in the front. You can take a tour and then have a drink at the bar. It is only rum drinks - but they are amazing and delicious and well worth the effort finding this over at Union Market

Arts & Culture

This is probably one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States, and many tourists don't have it on their list. Get a docent tour - you will see so much more than you can imagine. Also, if you're here for a few days and planning trips back - plan on getting a reading card. Any US citizen with a legal id can get one.

Few tourists go here - but this was Lincoln's "Summer White House." Amazing history and place. Also - walk the cemetery while there - it has fascinating tombstones and memorial statures.
