Check out the local shops and restaurants in Bethesda! Some of our favorites are Tastee Diner (classic, old-style diner), Olazzo or Aventino (Italian), Rock Bottom brewery, True Food or Cava (healthy lunch food), Medium Rare (only serves steak frites). Good coffee can be found at Tout de Sweet, Starbucks, Dunkin', Tatte Bakery and Cafe, and Foxtrot. Great shops on and near Bethesda Row, too! https://www.bethesdarow.com/
We love to go on morning walks on the beautiful Capital Crescent Trail. Be sure to head over there if the weather's nice and you want to get some steps in! Hopefully the cherry blossoms will be in bloom! If you don't want to go into DC to see the cherry blossoms, the Kenwood neighborhood in Chevy Chase is 1.5 miles from the hotel, about an 8 minute drive or a 30 minute walk. Beautiful cherry blossom trees line the streets of a gorgeous neighborhood.
If you're interested in heading into DC for the day, hop on the metro and you'll be downtown in no time! There's lots to see!
