Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Nicole Wingo and Paul Vivari
We're so excited to welcome you to town! Here are some of our favorite places in case you're able to do a little exploring around where we call home.
Old Ebbitt Grill

Old Ebbitt Grill

675 15th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20005
, (202) 347-4800

Old Ebbitt is one of DC's oldest restaurants and right in the heart of downtown. Their late-night, raw bar happy hour is our personal favorite but it's Titanic-esque decor and classic American fare is great any time.

Habesha Market & Carry-out

Habesha Market & Carry-out

1919 9th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
, (202) 232-1919

Ethiopian food has been a big feature in the DC restaurant scene since the 1970's and Habesha is the perfect little spot to experience its big flavors. We particularly love it for take-out!

Rock Creek Park

Rock Creek Park

5200 Glover Road Northwest, Washington, DC 20008

Rock Creek Park is a true gem in the middle of town. If you're not like us and enjoy activities like hiking, this is the place for you!

National Gallery of Art – East Building

National Gallery of Art – East Building

Showtime Lounge

Showtime Lounge

113 Rhode Island Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20001

How could we NOT recommend stopping by Paul's very own Showtime Lounge? Fun Fact: We live next door so, if you want to egg our house, it's pretty easy to do.

Neptune Room

Izakaya Seki

Izakaya Seki

We love this tucked away spot, particularly if you can get a seat at the bar downstairs. Their small plates and perfect sashimi is just so good.

Som Records

Som Records

1843 14th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20009
, (202) 328-3345

If you're interested in shopping, Som is a great stop for new and used vinyl and located in the heart of 14th Street, a span of North West DC that has exploded with shops and restaurants.

GoodWood

We love the tacos at this casual spot BUT! If they're too busy, check out some of the neighboring restaurants! They're situated on a great block for casual fare and conversation.

Smithsonian National Zoological Park

Smithsonian National Zoological Park

3001 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20008

Nicole lived near the zoo for over seven years and was a regular visitor on Monday mornings. It's a pretty peaceful spot to get judged by orangutans.
