D.C. is known as a melting pot for food and we can't possibly capture them all. BUT here are a few of our favorites downtown! If you are staying on the VA side, text Emma at 540-649-5419 for recommendations!
Big Bear Cafe
1700 1st Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
This is where we are getting married but there is no better spot for coffee and vibes on a crisp Fall morning. You'll obviously be checking it out during the wedding but highly recommend swinging by for a coffee or some lunch while you're in town!
The Royal
501 Florida Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
Known for their award winning cocktails! In the same neighborhood as the wedding and one of Rashad's all-time favorite spots!
The Point D.C.
2100 2nd Street Southwest, Washington, DC 20024
Our favorite waterfront spot! Right around the corner from our old apartment in Buzzard Point so just a 15-20 minute Uber away. This is where many, many happy hours and nights were spent at the outdoor bar. Vibes unmatched !!
Republic Cantina
43 N Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
Another Shaw neighborhood gem! This is a 'hole in the wall' tex-mex spot that will not disappoint!
The Pub & The People
1648 North Capitol Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20002
Neighborhood bar that is only a 4 minute walk from the venue - would be perfect for drinks before you head over!
YELLOW Union Market
417 Morse Street Northeast, Washington, DC 20002
This place is HIGHLY sought after - serves up amazing Middle Eastern inspired pastries and would be perfect for breakfast on Sunday on your way out of the city!
Call Your Mother Deli - West End
1143 New Hampshire Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20037
You're going to want to want a bagel sandwich when you wake up the morning after and Call Your Mother is the place to get it! Self-acclaimed Jewish, NY-style bagels, you CANNOT go wrong!
