VEGAN. BUFFALO. WINGS. OH MY GOD. If I could I'd probably eat at Woodlands for every meal for the rest of my life.
A DC destination...this independent bookseller has a well curated selection of books and a great cafe to boot. Read more.
Everything here seems to be incredible, but my favorites are the peanut butter fudge shake, the cowvin cookie, and the cheezy mac. 😍😍
Mendelsohn’s milkshakes—especially the toasted-marshmallow flavor—are some of the best in town.
For the other geography nerds out there, check out the antique maps vendor

Great variety of lattes. My favorite is the Snickerdoodle. Enjoy free wifi with your caffeine! Read more.
The pour over coffees are well worth the wait, and the mochas almond croissants are great too.
The coffee is great, of course, but I could eat nothing but the salty oat cookies for the rest of my life and be very happy.
Great brunch option when the wait at the Coupe is too long. Good atmosphere, good food, super friendly service.
Putting crumbled Cheez-Its on top of mac & cheese is possibly the peak of human ingenuity.
If you're patient, it can be a super chill experience. Find a spot to hang out with a book or something and there's a solid chance a cat will join you.
I love this place. The people who work here are so pleasant that coming here always brightens my day. And it helps that everything I’ve tried here has been incredible, especially the cookies.
The veggie bento box is delicious and super filling. The honey ginger housemade soda is great, too!
Best bagels in DC. Grab a dozen whole wheat everything sliced, stick them in your freezer, and eat them for breakfast every morning for the rest of your life.
Get the Nutella latte. And when they ask if you want your spoon, the correct answer is yes.
On a warm day, get a maple cold brew. On a chilly day, get a Nutella mocha. And pick up vegan baked goods from Sticky Fingers no matter what. Don't count on there being space to eat in, though.
Such a cool vibe and interesting rotating selection. Scored a beautiful Waterford crystal bowl for $15 the other day.
Incredible brunch spot. Be sure to ask about the daily specials—they're almost always big hits. The rooftop cocktail bar is excellent, too.
I've gotten my last two pairs of running shoes here and they've always pointed me in the right direction. If your shoes don't work out, you can exchange them within 30 days.
All. Day. Breakfast. Definitely a better pick for dinner (or a late-night snack) than weekend brunch -- gets packed during peak hours. The veggie reuben is everything.
A lovely bit of legitimate nature, not too a long walk from the Rosslyn Metro station.
Perhaps the most conquerable of all the Smithsonians, this small but delightful museum of American arts and decorative crafts is a sea of calm. Read more.
A wide array of draft beers. Solid grub -from salads to flatbreads. Delicious appetizers
Very nice bar -- probably top in the neighborhood. The drinks were reasonably priced, and the service was fantastic. Great bartender upstairs -- very friendly and knowledgable.
The beer garden is dog friendly with a great family atmosphere. Their beer is worthy of the trip to Silver Spring. The quinoa burger is awesome! Ten taps of delicious beer!

The best memorial in DC, different quotes and sculptures are all around. Even on the steps! You could spend hours looking around this one monument.
This is a place you have to see to believe. Books piled anywhere and everywhere. I especially love the quirky and clever labels (e.g. a pile on the floor labeled, "George Washington rests here").
