Eats
Every visit, no matter what, my family is either dining in or ordering from these spots.
Seriously the BEST PIZZA EVER! There is something in their sauce, so sweet so yummy. Family fave.
M&N's Pizza
The best Indian food EVERRRRRR. can’t get enough.
Tikka Masala
The best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. They are perfect for ordering in too. A fave.
PLANTA
Seriously obsessed. Their Cheese Borekas is out of this world. So is their Jerusalem bagel.
Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Bethesda
The best Belgium chocolate ever!
Neuhaus Chocolates
When we are looking for ordering in on the more healthy side this is the spot for us.
True Food Kitchen
Another fun spot for good comforting Mexican food.
Fish Taco - Woodmont
Activities
Family friendly activities in the DMV area.
Perfect for our large group. Outdoor/indoor options, great for walking - beautiful grounds. Tickets are free but must be reserved in advance.
Glenstone
Incredible Art and there’s always something new. Family favorite.
National Museum of Women in the Arts
Gotta come and visit the pandas! Our local celebrities. 🐼💕
Smithsonian National Zoological Park
We can spend here hours and still not see all of it, which is just reason to come back.
National Portrait Gallery
This was a hoot. We don’t go to this every visit, unless there’s someone new to introduce this to but it’s always a good time. Need to purchase tickets.
International Spy Museum
Seasonal, but if you are in the DC area during the month of April (early usually) this is a must do/see. Truly breathtaking.
Bloom Watch
Depending on the time of year they offer afternoon tea on weekend and sometimes during the week. It’s such a fun treat and great for Birthdays.
The Lounge - Near National Mall
When you need a break from sight seeing and you need a little shopping time this is the place. Spent many summers here back to school shopping.
