Good Eats & Good Vibes
These are some of my favorite restaurants in the area! These are some good dress-up/dress-down options for a nice lunch or dinner!
This ramen bar is in one of my favorite neighborhoods of D.C. ~ Adams Morgan ~ it's easiest to get to via rideshare app but not too far out! Adams Morgan is known for lots of different types of restaurants and bars, so it might be good to make it to Sakuramen on a night out! This cool and stylish spot is managed by my good friend Tony, and it's pretty busy with no reservations so expect there to be a bit of a wait! Definitely worth it though!

Rose's Luxury gave me one of the most amazing dining experiences I've ever had in D.C. It's not the easiest to get a seat and you definitely want to get there early to avoid a long wait time, but the menu is incredibly interesting and changes frequently. Definitely more on the expensive side, but a wonderful choice for a fancy brunch or romantic dinner.

Filomena is an excellent place to have authentic Italian food right across the bridge in Georgetown! The minute you walk in you can see a woman hand rolling pasta, and the whole vibe of the place is very mom and pop. Dinner prices are a bit high, so if that's an issue definitely go for lunch! The portions are very big so expect to take leftovers home!

The oldest restaurant in D.C.! They've got good service, good food, and you definitely feel a very D.C. vibe here. Located very close to the White House, this restaurant is a great pit stop to make if you're going sightseeing around the downtown area.

Great Fast Food Options!
These are a few places in the area that I think are fast, delicious, and affordable!
This spot is arguably one of the best pho places in the area. If you're looking for a "fine dining" experience this probably won't be for you, but if you're there for the food I can say you won't be disappointed! Pretty good price for an amazing bowl of comfort and goodness! *CASH ONLY*

Sweetgreen is a counter-serve chain restaurant originally coming from D.C.! A location recently opened in Arlington, and although it's a bit pricey for fast food, I love the freshness and taste!

Everyone knows Georgetown Cupcakes from their show on TLC, but in my opinion Baked & Wired offers even better baked goods! The wait time is also much more acceptable. If you must go to Georgetown Cupcakes though, try to go during the weekdays, because the weekend lines are crazy!

Museums
D.C. is of course known for its rich history, and amazing museums! Here are some of my favorites!
The courtyard located in the center of the Nat'l Portrait Gallery is absolutely gorgeous, and one of my favorite places to visit in D.C. Inside the gallery are a number of exhibits including the portraits of the presidents! Definitely worth visiting when you come to D.C.! *Free Admission*
