If you're looking for a fabulous meal in the hotel and venue neighborhood, we recommend Osteria Morini. Their homemade pasta is the right way to start, or finish, the weekend!
If you've never been, or even if it's been a while, we highly recommend stopping by the National Portrait Gallery. As the Gallery is a part of the Smithsonian, entry is free. Make sure to stop for a coffee in the beautiful atrium!
The American History Museum never disappoints. The museum makes for a great addition to a trip to the Washington Monument and mall!
If you find yourself in Chinatown, make sure to stop by a Jose Andres restaurant. Zaytinya is a favorite, but you'll enjoy Oyamel and Jaleo too which are just around the corner. Zaytinya makes for a great stop after the Portrait Gallery!
The Sculpture Garden can be a quick walk as you make your way to the Smithsonian Museums or Monuments, or you can hunker down in the Pavilion and enjoy a coffee and sweet treat--regardless of the path you select, you will be glad you didn't miss it!
While there many memorials to visit, we highly recommend finding your way to the Lincoln Memorial, where you can easily access the Washington Monument, National Mall, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam Memorials.
If you're looking for a great seafood restaurant, Salt Line is a must. Salt Line is located just blocks from our wedding venue and hotels.
