Things To Do

We're excited to share our favorite places in the area with you! Copy this link for a Google Map version of this list with way more spots, things to do, and our notes: https://www.shakouribenson.com/map

Cotton & Reed

1330 5th Street Northeast, Washington, DC 20002

Great rum distillery and bar. The Cocomotion is our favorite drink, but you can't go wrong!

The Green Zone

2226 18th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20009

No bad order here. Consistently one of the top-rated DC bars, with Middle Eastern inspired cocktails and great authentic food.

Republic Cantina

43 N Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001

Tex Mex spot with great coffee drinks and breakfast tacos in particular, but tasty any time of day.

Heat Da Spot Café

3213 Georgia Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20010

Our first date spot! All day breakfast and Ethiopian food, come hungry because portions are large!

metrobar

640 Rhode Island Avenue Northeast, Washington, DC 20002

A full bar in a DC metro car! Fun atmosphere and good drinks in a cool area. Shireen's favorite is the pineapple thyme lemonade (NA)

Adams Morgan Porchfest

On May 3 during the day, the Adams Morgan neighborhood of DC hosts a festival where different musical acts perform mini concerts on porches throughout the neighborhood. The concert map is available on their website, and the neighborhood is a 20-ish minute cab ride from our venue. Just be sure to leave on time to make our 5pm ceremony!

2Fifty Texas BBQ

4700 Riverdale Road, Riverdale Park, MD 20737

It's not like KC BBQ, but it's a solid option! Andrew likes the Maryland location better than the one on K Street in DC.

For all the days along the way
