Things To Do
Planet Word
A modern and interactive museum all about languages - Jordan and I both highly recommend!
National Gallery of Art
Riley grew up going to this museum and it never gets old - from legendary classics to memorable modern pieces, the National Gallery has enough art to fill up hours.
Theodore Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Island is a pedestrian-only park that features lovely views of the waterfront and surrounding skylines. Click the button below for directions on how best to get there.
il Canale
Jordan and Riley had their first post-lockdown meal out here in 2020 (sitting outside, of course). The food is delicious - or maybe they were just so happy to finally be eating outside their apartment? Who knows, but go and decide for yourself.
Ambar Clarendon
Jordan and Riley had a delicious Valentine's Day meal here once, and Riley has other fond memories here as well. They offer unlimited Balkan small plates for brunch, lunch and dinner or a la carte options.
United States National Arboretum
Go to the National Arboretum for peaceful gardens and expansive grounds to wander. Jordan and Riley recommend checking out the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in particular. Jordan surprised Riley with a lovely birthday trip here one year. It was a beautiful day that ended with them climbing a 10-foot tall gate to exit because they got a little lost - don't be like them!
