We love this casual eatery for its wonderful shared plates, wood fired oven, and eclectic wine selection. Limited seating inside, so make reservations. Outside seating is more plentiful.

The National Arboritum
The Arboritum is only accessible by car, but it is releatively rarely visited by tourists. Its operated the Department of Agriculture, so it has a completly different feel than other DC attractions.
