Where to eat

This old row home, turned restaurant may not look like much from outside, but the food here is amazing. I'm a sucker for the shrimp and scallop risotto, but honestly everything is delicious! In addition to food, this place also has great ambiance and is a favorite restaurant among locals. Great cocktails too. If you go early, I'd recommend hitting up the basement bar for a Dirty Ditos (dirty martini made by the bartender, Dito).

Not only is this place super convenient (it's literally around the corner), but the food here is great! If you're a drinker, make sure you order a frozen margarita. They are delicious and a favorite among the neighbors!

Great food, great service and less than a 5 min walk from here. What more could you ask for? Happy hour here is a great deal. Plus the bartender upstairs (where happy hour happens) is a really fun guy.

This place does amazing food, but their bottomless brunch with unlimited small plates and drinks is my favorite thing to come here for. If you're around during a time they have brunch, I'd highly recommend this place. :)

Best pizza ever. And it's literally just a few doors down the street.

Sightseeing

This is a beautiful place to walk around, especially when the weather is nice. Cherry Blossom season is when this area becomes the most picturesque! Grab a comfortable pair of shoes so you can walk around and see the monuments while you're there!

Metro vs Bus

The metro is everyone's first go to when they think of public transportation in DC, but the bus will probably get you there faster and require less walking. Don't forget about the bus!
