Things To Do

There’s so much to see and do in Washington, DC, and we’re so excited to share a few of our favorite things with you. Which, to us, mostly means places to eat and drink. Enjoy!

La Chaumiere

2813 M Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20007

We went here on our second date. Needless to say, the date went well and the food was amazing. Order the souffle.

Unconventional Diner

1207 9th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001

One of the best spots in town for a creative brunch, lunch, or diner.

Wiseguy Pizza

202 M Street Southeast, Washington, DC 20003

The best New York-style slice in the city and our favorite. Or, as Chris says, the only "real" pizza there is here.

Gravitas

1401 Okie Street Northeast, Washington, DC 20002

We went here for Mothers Day 2022, and it made a wonderful lasting impression!

South Block

1418 14th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20005

Best acai bowls in town! Sarah is addicted to them.

MI VIDA

98 District Square Southwest, Washington, DC 20024

We stop by here whenever we're down by the Wharf. The best contemporary Mexican food we've found in the city!

Junction Bakery & Bistro

1508 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22301

Great brunch/lunch spot. There's a sister location right by St. Joseph's on Capitol Hill, and is often frequented by Chris and Sarah after mass.

Immigrant Food at The White House

1701 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20006

Sarah's favorite lunch spot at work. If you're sightseeing near the White House and find yourself hungry, stop here!

Los Tios Grill

2615 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22301

Margaritas as big as your head. What else is there to say really.

Tabard Inn

1739 N Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20036

Sarah's favorite after work drinking hole. It's like having a cocktail in Harry Potter's common room.

Recessions Bar and Grill

1823 L Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20036

After our lovely dinner on our second date, we came here for some after dinner drinks and....karaoke. It's also where Sarah met Chris' karaoke alter ego, Robin Thin, for the first time. A great dive bar in DC.

National Museum of Women in the Arts

1250 New York Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20005

Sarah's volunteered here for several years! And it's just undergone a renovation if you'd like to see some incredible works of art by some incredible women.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial

540 Independence Avenue Southwest, Washington, DC 20024

Sarah's also volunteered here! Who knew DC recently added another memorial to the National Mall. Worth checking out, especially if you haven't been the National Mall in a while.

National Portrait Gallery

Washington, DC 20001

A small, exquisite art museum. Sarah has volunteered as a docent here in the past.

George Washington's Mount Vernon

3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, Mount Vernon, VA 22121

If you have the time and can venture a little bit outside DC, this is a must see. Chris and Sarah had a very memorable wine tasting here last spring as well.

International Spy Museum

700 L'Enfant Plaza Southwest, Washington, DC 20024

One of the best family friendly museums in town, and there isn't a more fitting museum to see in all the capital. After all, 1 out of every 10 people who live in Washington, DC is a spy.

Tysons Galleria

2001 International Drive, McLean, VA 22102

If you want to do some "real" shopping, Tysons has it all.

Georgetown

Washington, DC 20007

For street shops and browsing high-end boutiques, there isn't a more lovely place to do it than M street in Georgetown.

Old Town Alexandria Waterfront

1 Prince Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

We went here on our first date. From restaurants to local shops to stunning water views, if you want to get out and stretch your legs, this is a great place to do it.
