Things To Do
National Gallery of Art
The National Gallery of Art is a fantastic museum with an incredible variety of art. Philip's mom works here as a docent in her free time, so it is somewhere we love to visit!
Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
Smaller art gallery with fun craft and decorative art exhibits, right across from the White House.
National Portrait Gallery
Kelly's favorite museum in DC. Take a moment to relax in the courtyard after viewing some beautiful art.
Spanish Steps
Our favorite spot in our neighborhood, and where we got engaged!
Meridian Hill Malcolm X Park
A lovely park close to our apartment - Mickie's favorite spot!
World War II Memorial
Theodore Roosevelt Island
If the weather is nice this is a great place to walk around with wooded paths. Parking access right off of George Washington Memorial Parkway between the Roosevelt & Key Bridges.
Boogy & Peel
Our favorite pizza in the city. The Macha roni is our go to!
Gemini
Tiny wine shop with a rotating menu of handmade pasta and one of our take out staples (we recommend any of the pizzas, and of course the ice cream!)
ChurchKey
Where we went on our first date! A great beer selection and American small bites.
Your Only Friend
Restaurant and cocktail bar with fantastic sandwiches. They also have a takeout counter if you want to picnic on the mall.
Old Ebbitt Grill
A DC institution right next to the White House with great food. Stop by for oysters and a glass of wine.
The Green Zone
A fun bar with middle eastern cocktails and food! One of our favorite bars in the city.
Exiles Bar
A classic pub right down the street from our apartment. It's become a staple of ours as they host large watch parties for both Liverpool and Penn State Football, a match made in heaven?
YELLOW
Some of the best baked goods in DC. There is a location in Georgetown and one near Union Market in Northeast DC.
La Tejana
A casual spot with tex-mex style breakfast tacos and a cocktail bar at night. Don't miss the jalapeno poppers.
