This is my favorite spot (3 floors). It's a bit upscale on level 1 but the food is incredible and you'll be surrounded by the largest library of whiskey in the United States. Head down to Dram & Grain in the basement for phenomenal craft cocktails or head up to the rooftop bar for some open air and a more casual setting.

This place is famous - You gotta try the pops. It's a Dupont staple. It also has great coffee and healthy lunch food at a decent price. Try the beet salad!

Drinks & Nightlife
This is my all time fav place in DC. It has something for everyone. It's 3 floors - a lounge, a bar, a live music venue, and a club. Every room is different but all are awesome. You can spend hours here and feel like you went to 3 different bars.

Known as “The Diner” to regular patrons, is a proper restaurant by day, serving delicious greasy spoon fare. At night, however, the tables are cleared away for the drinking crowds. Perhaps the most under-the-radar gay bar to outsiders, as well as the most political of Washington’s gay bars, the Diner is home to high-profile Democratic and Republican operatives who regularly put aside politics when they arrive for the party. Grab a Lemon Squeeze (the bar’s mainstay cocktail), a pile of tater tots and nestle into a booth to see and be seen.

Parks & Nature
This is a great place to bike, run, or walk. It's a huge park with lots of trails and beautiful scenery if you want to escape the city. It's a half mile walk from my house. To get to the entrance (which is a little tricky), walk down to the circle, make a right on the circle until you get to P street and then head West on P, Cross the bridge, and then walk for a few more seconds and you'll see the entrance on your left.

Arts & Culture
This is a stunning mansion owned by the Anderson family. It is the meeting place for the Society of Cincinnati and definitely worth walking into. You can just step in, go on a 1 hour free tour, or look up the musical events here at night.

BEST spot to grab lunch and a beer or a glass of wine. It's also Dupont's local organic grocery store. I go here for everything because it's so close but it's definitely not cheap. Head to the Safeway on 17th and Corcoran for a bigger, cheaper selection.
