Many count this as one of the top three restaurants in DC. As a result, it is almost impossible to get a reservation short of 30 days out. We recommend going early (around 5) to see if you can get a table. Or, sit at the bar. The food, the wine, the service; everything is amazing and close to perfect.

This is my favorite place to hang out in the neighborhood. They have a great happy hour from 5-7 Monday - Friday and 3:30 - 6:30 weekends. The food is all cooked in their woodburning oven and they have the best patio in the neighborhood. Jordan (the owner) and Leia (manager) are incredibly hospitable. Please tell them you are my guest and I highly recommended it, if you go.

Arts & Culture
This is probably one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States, and many tourists don't have it on their list. Get a docent tour - you will see so much more than you can imagine. Also, if you're here for a few days and planning trips back - plan on getting a reading card. Any US citizen with a legal id can get one.
