Liz & Steve
Things To Do in D.C.
Jaleo by José Andrés
Owned by fancy chef and philanthropist, José Andrés. Serves traditional Spanish food and tapas. We highly recommend any of the paellas and marinated olives with a Spanish red wine. Great location just north of the National Mall near the Archives metro station.
KAIJU RAMEN 怪獸拉面
A good bowl of ramen is a go-to option for us. Once Liz moved from Rosslyn, we were in need of a new option nearby. The atmosphere is fun with a lot of pop-culture Japanese classics. You’ll find anime playing, figurines on shelves and neon signs.
Supra
Serves an array of Georgian food. Don’t think peaches, grits or pecan pie… this restaurant serves food from the county of Georgia and is reminiscent of our trip there in 2021. We highly recommend Khachapuri, Khinkali and any wine made with saperavi grapes.
Union Market
Large, modern market for shopping and eating that boasts a long history in the District. Originally opened to the public in 1871 and modernized throughout time. We recommend walking throughout the building before selecting your food of choice and eating on the rooftop.
Bluejacket
Solid brewery with some classic American food options. We have cycled and took metro here many times from the first few days we met.
Right Proper Brewing Company
D.C. beer staple with a wild mural on the wall of "futuristic animals having a battle Royale in the city." We recommend the brussel sprouts, a favorite from one of our first outings together. They have several locations but we've always been to the one in Shaw.
Tiki TNT & Potomac Distilling Company
Fun tiki decor from the drinks to the wall! Recommended if you like tropical rum drinks, although they tend to be a bit pricey. It's Just a short walk from the venue.
The Wharf DC
This is where the wedding venue is and likely where you're staying. No need to venture out if you're not interested in doing so. Check the website for a list of shops, restaurants and music venues - all within a short walk from the wedding.
