Things To Do
Albi
This is our FAVORITE restaurant in DC. We'd suggest doing to Sofra Tasting Menu - not a single bad bite and takes the stress out of ordering! Please note this place is on the pricey side and due to its popularity, you have to make a reservation in advance.
Tail Up Goat
Tail Up Goat is less than a 5 min walk from The Line and is consistently rated one of the top 25 restaurants in DC. Due to its popularity, you have to make a reservation in advance.
Reveler's Hour
Reveler's Hour is directly across the street from The Line and have the same owners as Tail Up Goat. We highly recommend any of their pasta dishes. Due to its popularity, you have to make a reservation in advance.
Rose's Luxury
Rose's Luxury is another one of our favorite restaurants, and not just because our BFF Sammy is the former Chef de Cuisine :) Due to its popularity, you have to make a reservation in advance.
Gemini × Happy Ice Cream [f.k.a. Happy Gyro]
Happy Ice Cream has the hands down BEST ice cream in DC, maybe the world. They also have pizza, sandwiches and small bites made by a Michelin starred kitchen crew. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu, everything is take out.
Duke's Grocery
Duke's has the best burger in DC, and that's not just our opinion :)
Smithsonian National Zoological Park
Georgetown Park
The Georgetown area (especially M Street and the waterfront) is great for shopping & restaurants. There's also a large waterfront park that's a nice place to take dogs or a walk. Will's favorite sandwich place is down here and is called Sundevich (https://www.sundevich.com/).
Theodore Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Island is good for a quick hike or long dog walk.
Le Diplomate
Due to its popularity, you have to make a reservation in advance through their website.
Eastern Market
Eastern Market is open on Saturday and Sundays and is THE artisan & food weekend market in DC. It takes over two city blocks and boasts a few hundred vendors. There's a metro stop that goes directly here.
FRESHFARM Dupont Circle Market
Every Sunday, Dupont hosts a robust Farmer's Market with tons of food and artist vendors. Will and Hayley go consistently every weekend, and sometimes bring Norman and Lulu :)
Kramers
Kramerbooks is a unique and iconic DC bookstore that's definitely worth a visit if you're into that kind of thing.
YELLOW Georgetown
Hayley's favorite coffee & lunch spot!
The White House
National Mall
For your classic DC pics.
Wharf Street
The Wharf is another fun area with a booming shopping & restaurant scene. The Anthem (cool music venue - https://theanthemdc.com/) is also at The Wharf and they sometimes do shows on Thursdays / Sundays for those staying in town for an extra day or two.
Surfside Taco Stand
Will's favorite taco stand :)
