amazing burger & budget friendly!
DC food finds that actually live up to the hype! One of our late night food stops while we were in Georgetown for our anniversary staycation was @7th Street Burger and it was as good as all of the tiktok’s make it seem! Simple menu, no frills, just a seriously good smash burger done right. Juicy, crispy edges, melty cheese, soft bun… every bite was exactly what you want a burger to be. And can we talk about the prices?? Because in DC, finding a burger this good that doesn’t hurt your wallet feels rare. This is one of those spots where you don’t need anything fancy — just quality ingredients, cooked perfectly, and served fast. Perfect for a quick lunch, late-night craving, or when you want something satisfying without overthinking it. If you’re in DC and looking for a go-to burger spot, add this to your list ASAP. we will definitely be back! #7thstreetburger #georgetown #dmvfoodie #smashburger ##dcfood

great espresso martini!
If you’re ever wandering through Georgetown and want a spot that feels effortlessly cool but still cozy… The Sovereign is it. 🍻✨ We stopped in and immediately loved the vibe — intimate, warm, and the kind of place you want to settle into for a while. The Belgian sour was chef’s kiss — perfectly tart, refreshing, and not overpowering. One of those drinks you take a sip of and instantly know you’d order again. And the Amsterdam espresso martini?? Smooth, bold, and dangerously good — the kind that makes you forget you already said “just one.” but we had two 😂 It’s one of those places that feels ideal for date night, a slow evening with friends, or a spontaneous stop that turns into a core memory. If you love thoughtfully crafted drinks, European pub energy, and a menu that clearly knows what it’s doing… add this to your DC list. Georgetown nights done right. ✨ #georgetown #thesovereign #dcdrinks #dcfoodie #datenight

Brunch

great pancakes! & breakfast sandwich
Brunch in Georgetown never misses, but @billyhicksdc truly did that. We stopped in for brunch and everything was so good! the pancakes were soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and the kind you keep thinking about long after the plate is empty. Easily a must-order. And the croissant sandwich… buttery, flaky, filled just right, and so satisfying without feeling heavy. One of those meals where every bite makes you slow down and actually enjoy it. Such a cozy spot for a slow morning, catching up with friends, or a relaxed weekend brunch after walking through Georgetown. If you’re looking for a place that nails the classics and does them really well, this one deserves a spot on your list. 10/10 would brunch here again 🥞✨ #billyhicks #georgetowndc #dcbrunch #dceats #brunchtok

Icecream

amazing icecream flavors!
Must-try stop at Union Market 🍦 If you’re walking through Union Market, @Van Leeuwen Ice Cream needs to be on your list. We got a milkshake with brown sugar cookie dough brownie mixed with peanut butter brownie honeycomb and it was next level—rich, creamy, and perfectly indulgent. Such an easy stop, but one of those treats you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely a don’t-skip spot if you’re in the area. #unionmarketdc #vanleeuwenicecream #icecream #washingtondc #milkshake @Union Market District

Seafood

 
Lunch at The Choptank in Annapolis never disappoints. Waterfront views, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere that somehow works just as well for date night as it does for a family dinner. Everything from the food to the vibe makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re looking for a spot in Annapolis with great food, beautiful views, and an easygoing energy, Choptank is always a solid choice. We’ll definitely be back 🤍 #choptank #annapolismaryland #annapolis #marylandseafood #seafood
