Best damn mussels and Belgian beers in the city. Gets crowded, so make reservations or go during the week. Don't be afraid to belly up to the bar here, either. They serve the full menu.

Go with a full wallet and an empty belly. Every single thing is worth every single penny. Hell, go every day. You won't regret it.

If you blink, you'll miss it. Unless you see the line out the door. Some of DC's best ramen and noodle dishes. The wait is LONG on high-traffic nights, but go on a weeknight, and you'll walk right in. Always call before you trek over.

Skip Georgetown Cupcake and go here instead. Seriously. Don't even question us on this one. The folks who own this shop also have a bread-centric cafe and bakery called A Baked Joint, also included in our recommendations.

Because who doesn't love a homemade piece of bread with their coffee? But there's so much more here to enjoy.

It's namesake give's it away. This is a British pub on H Street that has some of the best fare in the city. We recommend brunch, as it's one of the few in DC where you get a lot of bang for your buck. If you're able to finish everything on your plate, we'll give you an award. Not really, but it's still worth the challenge.

Sure, there's a Ben's on H Street just down from our place, but this is the original. Pony up to the counter and have a half-smoke, chili fries and a chocolate milkshake.

Our neighborhood greasy spoon. Cheap, good eats, and it's basically open any time you're hungry. Be warned, though: don't accidentally go to Tony's Place - literally across the street - you'll be disappointed.

Sweet or savory. Or both. Grab a slice of chocolate chess and a coffee. Or maybe a quiche and a PBR is more your style (we don't judge). Either way, get here and check it out. Whole pies are also for sale, just in case you want to share when you get home.

We hate to let the secret out, but this is the best Indian food in DC. The vindaloo will literally burn your face off, and the samosas really hit home. Plenty of options for both carnivores and vegetarians.

Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken with all the fixins. Several locations throughout the city, but this one's a stone's throw from Union Station, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite before you head to your train or right when you get into town. Great happy hour, too.

A Turkish/Mediterranean spot that has breakfast, lunch and dinner service. Great stop for coffee and to get a little work done in the mornings (they have wifi). Try the simit with mascarpone, a delicious sesame-see crusted bread ring.

Parks & Nature

Sprawling property with thousands of plant species. Something seems to be blooming every time of year, so don't be afraid to visit in off-months, too. For a peaceful picnic, try our secret spot. Walk to the bottom of the Asian Gardens, go through the gate, and enjoy some peace and quiet next to the Anacostia River.

Drinks & Nightlife

Chill, relaxed vibe in a no-frill space. You go here for the beer and the occasional food truck parked out front. The picnic tables are a perfect place to enjoy a flight of one of DC's finest craft brew selections.

Total dive. Awesome indie bands. If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch the next big star here. Or, one of our personal favorites: White Ford Bronco, a 90s cover band that will knock your socks off.
