Great neighborhood coffee shop with reliable WiFi, too. They often have a wait for brunch on the weekends, but their barista counter is quick and speedy. Try the thai tofu scramble.

Voted the best sports bar in DC, there's always a game on (mostly soccer). Still, this doesn't feel like a sports bar. Amazing quiche, currywurst, and whiskey soft-serve. Brunch is good.

Neighborhood street tacos in a casual setting. Have a Jarritos and a lengua, camerones, or carnitas taco. Well, they're small- better have one of each.

Arts & Culture

One of our favorite concert venues. Look up their schedule before you come visit. If you don't make plans in advance, you can still buy tickets at their box office out front during the show.

Getting Around

This is the bus stop by our house- there is no bus shelter, just a tall red/orange sign. Walk to the corner (outside the dentist's office) and wait by the sign. You'll want cash! The bus is $1.75 a person. Buy a Smartrip pass at the subway stations for future use.
