Things To Do
The Fish Market
One of Rebecca and John's early date spots—and a D.C. staple. Great for blue crab, shrimp, and any other seafood you can imagine. Always fresh. Get it cooked on the spot, sprinkle some Old Bay seasoning on it, and eat it near the water. Afterwards, check out the shops and views of The Wharf, one of D.C.'s newest destinations.
National Arboretum
A true D.C. gem and another one of Rebecca and John's early date spots. It's a bit out of the way, but that's the point. You won't believe you're still in D.C.
Union Market
A common food, movie, and everything else spot for Rebecca and John. There's always something to eat and do here. It's also where Rebecca and John saw their first movie together—"Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl."
Busboys and Poets
A great spot for coffee, brunch, and books. John and Rebecca took her parents here. Everyone approved.
Ethiopic Restaurant
Rebecca had never had Ethiopian food before John took her here. Fun fact: D.C. is home to one of the largest Ethiopian populations outside the country itself. There's no shortage of Ethiopian food in The District.
Toki Underground
Some of D.C.'s best ramen, located in the neighborhood where John used to live. While you're there, take a stroll down H Street, grab a drink at one of the many bars, and admire the more eclectic, artsier side of the city.
DC Comedy Loft and Bier Baron Tavern
A cozy dive with one of the best craft beer selections in the Mid Atlantic. And not to mention, live comedy.
Meridian Hill Park
Not only is it a quiet oasis in the city, but on Sundays, there's a weekly drum circle. It's a great way to get a taste of the community, and recharge for the week ahead.
