Delightful. Located in Georgetown on the canal. A tea lovers paradise. You can sit and enjoy endless cups of tea while a Taiwanese water kettle bubbles at the table. Tea lunch is bento style with choices like tofu, chicken or salmon. The inside is quiet and bright with beautiful skylights. A must see/visit.

Located in Dupont circle. Endless chips, warm house-made salsa and swirl margaritas. There is outside seating. The tortilla soup is authentic and the daily specials are plenty. Great place to people watch as you load up on nachos.

This quirky place is just up the road in Hyattsville. A short drive up Rhode Island Ave. They have a microbrewery on site and the menu includes everything from pizza to fish n chips to roasted turkey dinner with mashed potatoes. Attached to the restaurant is their general store which is a delight. Jam packed with toys, candy, games, cards, wine... etc. One of the best kept secrets in the area. A favorite for lunch and dinner and browsing the store.
