Great wine selection. Don't forget to buy a salted caramel apple pie baked locally by "Whisk DC". They're on sale here. More gourmet grocery selections than Walmart, of course!

Sightseeing

Walking distance from home, these Civil War fortifications make for a unique picnic spot. Fun for kids to explore. Old cannons. President Lincoln came under fire here! Off-the-beaten-path DC.

This is the closest entrance to massive Rock Creek Park. Cross the soccer fields and continue down Morton Place into the park. At the bottom of the hill you arrive at Beach drive, which is closed to traffic and open to walkers, bikers, and runners. Trails splinter off into the surrounding woods.

Food Scene

This is your "go to" place that's one block from home down quiet, tree-lined Longfellow Street. Moreland's is a super friendly gastropub with great food and lovely bar. It just glows inside at night. It's a great rustic vibe with all the exposed brick walls. Closest restaurant to home.

Our favorite small, family-run neighborhood cafes. 15 min. walk or catch the bus at 14th and Colorado, 5 min ride if that. Outdoor seating. Casual ambience. Colorful mural. Good brunch, lunch, and dinner. Grandma will serve you a drink at the bar too.

You can’t go wrong here. And they deliver. At Honeymoon, it’s all about elevated ingredients, techniques and flavors that can transform the humble art of fried chicken into a culinary masterpiece. From inventive sides like roasted cauliflower with hot honey to plussed-up classics like a traditional 8-piece combo — it's about as upscale as something served in a bucket can get. This is fried chicken, all dressed up with someplace to go.

This is some of the best (and most affordable) Caribbean and soul food in the city. Andrene's recent renovation looks great and made room for a few tables and chairs. Don't miss the mac & cheese.

A bit off the beaten path, but so family-friendly and unpretentious. DELICIOUS gourmet burgers, a nice kids menu (get the homemade applesauce!), and great beer list.

It’s a 10 min. drive to hip Takoma Park, which straddles DC/MD. Busboys&Poets is awesome - frequented by an artful, progressive, diverse crowed. Evening events too.

Foodies head here! Market-driven & seafood-centric American eatery with an oyster bar, plus quaint vintage elements. It's a fab new spot and on Sunday mornings, the farmer's market is just in front!

This ramen shop has a cult following, it’s so good. The owner makes his own noodles from scratch. They even offer a vegan ramen fortified with almond milk! (Though I prefer the “triple threat” bowl with pork, chicken, and smoked fish broths).
