Looney's is a sports bar on the University of Maryland campus but also a local favorite. Large bar area, outdoor patio tables, and lots of TV's to catch a game. The food is decent. I recommend the orange crush!

Franklin's is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. This is locally owned and all of the food is made from scratch. There is a brewery on the premises as well as a quirky gift shop that is lots of fun to visit. They also have a new "tiki beach" outdoor dining area complete with real beach sand and picnic tables to dine at. The crab dip and mussels are our favorite!

District taco started as a favorite spot among locals in DC, but has expanded to multiple locations in the last few years. The food is always fresh and they have many salsas to choose from. Our favorites are the fish tacos, California burrito, and chips and queso.

This vegan spot is a hidden gem! They have plant-based versions of wings and calamari that are made with real ingredients (no processed meat substitutes), and it's DELICIOUS!

If you're looking for a healthy, clean, vegan food this is your spot. The menu is small but it is all delicious. We really like the taco salad with walnut taco meat.

DC Food & Activities

Founding Farmers is one of our favorite restaurants in DC. It's modern but casual, the menu is huge, and the service is outstanding. There are a few related restaurants ("Farmers, Fishers Bakers" and "Farmers and Distillers") that are equally good and both in fun neighborhoods of DC.

Union Market is a great spot to spend a weekend afternoon! It is essentially a large, trendy warehouse that has multiple restaurants, smaller food booths, jewelry, fresh seafood, coffee, and more. There is something for everyone to eat here! I recommend grabbing food and eating outside, or heading up to the rooftop (one of the largest in DC!) to hang out.

Georgetown is a scenic neighborhood full of shopping, parks, and restaurants. We love grabbing cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcakes, grabbing snacks at Dean & Deluca, and a falafel at a small hidden gem called Falafel Inc. I would also recommend visiting the Waterfront Park to grab food at Farmer Fisher Bakers, and taking a sunset kayak tour on the Potomac River to see a unique view of the monuments.
