Andrew Smith & Anna Newton
Things To Do
Buford's Biscuits
A fun little biscuit shop with delicious biscuit sandwiches! Almost tastes like you are in the South. :)
Pupatella Neopolitan Pizza
We went on our second date to a Pupatella closer to DC, and have continued to go back for date nights! Anna loves their meatball pizza, and Andrew loves their burrata pizza.
National Air and Space Museum: Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
You may have visited the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall during a school field trip, but you may not know there is a much larger (and some might even say better!) location near our wedding venue. This location has the Enola Gay (The WWII bomber that dropped the first nuclear weapon) and the Space Shuttle Discovery. Would be a great Saturday morning adventure pre-wedding!!
Stone Tower Winery
A beautiful winery in Leesburg with wonderful views of the Northern Virginia mountains. The food and beverages are great - make sure to get the truffle fries as a snack!
SideBar
A local favorite with everything from coffee and pastries in the morning to late night snacks and beverages. Grab a cup of coffee and explore the little shops in Historic Downtown Leesburg!
Anita's "New Mexico Style" Mexican Food
Serving Northern Virginia for over 40 years, this is Anna's favorite breakfast burrito spot in the area.
United States Capitol
We both work at the United States Capitol! If you would like to schedule a Capitol tour while you are in town, please schedule a tour at the link provided or you can contact your Senator's office.
Smithsonian Museums
Located along the National Mall in DC, the Smithsonian Museums are a great way to spend a day! A couple of our favorites are American History, African-American History, and the National Gallery of Art. See the Smithsonian Museum website for more information.
Santa Rosa Taqueria
We went on our first date here! We love their tacos and nachos. Highly recommend stopping by if on Capitol Hill.
Tunnicliff's Tavern
A favorite neighborhood spot we love to go to after a long day at work. Their burgers are amazing, and Anna says their fries with honey mustard is unmatched!
