Food Scene

If you love Salvadoran or Mexican food, this is the place for you. When the weather is nice, ask for a seat on the patio so you can people watch while eating.

This gluten free bakery is a Del Ray secret. Even if you don't need to eat gluten free desserts, you will want to try this place. I recommend the S'mores cupcake.

This custard shop is a must visit. President Obama brought his daughters to the Dairy Godmother in 2009 to sample the Flavor of the Day. The owner posts the Flavor Forecast on a calendar each month on her website: http://www.thedairygodmother.com/flavor-of-the-day-forecast/

If you love burgers, this is the place for you. This Del Ray restaurant supports local causes by allowing you to donate $.25 from each burger sale to a local charity. Choose the "Make Your Own Burger" option and pair with sweet potato fries and a milkshake (heath bar is my favorite).

If you're a Shakespeare fan, you must visit the Folger during your stay. They have ongoing exhibits in the main hall, lead by extraordinarily knowledgeable docents. If you're lucky, you can get tickets to a show while you're there.
