Hands down the best coffee in DC. This is the place to get your caffeine fix. However, it's a small space so not the best spot to lounge with your computer for an afternoon.

Estadio is easily my favorite tapas restaurant in DC. The food is always fantastic (try the blistered shishito peppers and the grilled squid!) and the decor and atmosphere really seal the deal.

With 55 different beers on tap and about 500 different bottles in the fridges, ChurchKey is a beer lover's heaven. The only drawback is that it's so popular, they never need to run happy hours.

Great atmosphere, drinks, and decor make Black Jack an awesome place to grab a few beers or cocktails after a long day. They even have a bocce ball court in the back!

Arts & Culture

Black Cat is my second favorite music venue in the city after the infamous 9:30 Club. Come here for great shows involving lesser-known but often equally talented bands.
