Taco Bell
6250 Central AveBecause sometimes you need to know where the closest Taco Bell is.
Great soul food (and vegan nachos!) and bookstore. There are several locations of this restaurant in DC, but I like this one because it's close and it's in historic downtown Hyattsville, a very cute area. Their brunch is delicious. I personally like the Salad Nicoise."

aka "Malcolm X Park" to everyone that lives here. One of the nicest and least appreciated parks in D.C. On a hill overlooking downtown and the monuments. Great photo ops among the statues and mansion that used to belong to John Qunicy Adams.
