You won't go hungry in D.C.

D.C. Staples: Ben's Chili Bowl is a District classic. Another D.C. classic is Le Diplomat, where a celebrity or political sighting is almost guaranteed. Martin's Tavern is a great stop after strolling through Georgetown, and is where JFK proposed to Jacqueline Kennedy (Bouvier) in 1953.

Our Top Picks: Ruthie's All Day in Arlington is the best for brunch or dinner. Our go-to Italian pick is Caruso's Grocery in SE Captiol Hill. Visit Tiger Fork in Blagden Alley for elevated takes on classic Chinese dishes. Union Market in NE has a variety of great resteraunts - Jackie's favorite is St. Anselm and David's favorite is El Presidente. Dikaya Izakaya is another favorite for Japanese small dishes. Barcelona Wine Bar has fantastic wine and sangria choices as well as excellent tapas in a moody setting.

Dives & Casual Spots: Tune Inn and Union Pub are classic Capitol Hill watering holes. The Dubliner is an excellent choice for a simple pint. A SE Capitol Hill neighborhood staple is Trusty's Full Service. Chinatown Express is our favorite spot for peking duck, noodles, and dumplings. For a quick weekend breakfast, we'll usually be at the Pretzel Bakery or Call Your Mother Bagels.
