Guidebook for Hyattsville
Food Scene
THE local hangout spot - grab a craft coffee and work on your memoir or catch up with friends. Try the new quasi-official DC pastry: the Kouign Amann. <-- I still get this but now Koulaches are the zeitgeist pastry. I get an Americano and add sugar and milk.

Parks & Nature
From here you can access the Anacostia Tributary trail system. It's about a mile to the trail head from our house through the lovely Hyattsville Historic District. There's also a new memorial park to Jim Henson who was born and raised in Hyattsville. There's also a great playground particularly for the littler ones. Basketball courts.

Closest pharmacy style store to the house. Best to drive there as the sidewalks are very narrow leading up to it unless you go on back streets.
