Breakfast/Brunch

La Tejana - Breakfast tacos as good as any you'll find in Austin. A bit of a hike, but well worth it.

The Diner- Classic Diner in Adams Morgan open late night as well

Bagel's Etc.- Cash only, no frills bagel shop.

Ted's Bulletin- Upscale diner with great breakfast food served all day.

Lunch/Dinner

Le Diplomate- A D.C. classic and one of our favorites. The Mushroom Tart and Bread Basket are Taylor's Favorites. The Trout Almandine and Milk Chocolate pot de creme are Hunter's.

Franklin Hall- Casual digs for a beer and watching sports, around the corner from our first apartment together. The Chicken Tenders were a favorite late night meal of ours.

Duke's Grocery- Local favorite always in the conversation for D.C's best burger.

Al Volo Osteria- Our favorite Italian. Cozy. Large portions. Homemade pasta. Great vibes.

Gypsy Kitchen- Mediterranean small plates. Great cocktails.

Drinks

Maxwell Park- Crowd favorite wine bar. Rotating menu every month with fun themes with wines to match.

Aslin Brewing- Open air beer garden with a food truck and plenty of seating for a group.

Datcha- Another DC classic outdoor beer garden.

All Souls- Liquor forward cocktails. One of our favorite spots to go with our friends and chat into the late night hours.

Off the Record- D.C. Icon. Red Velvet chairs. Political caricature coasters. Feet from the White House. You'd be foolish to not get a martini.

Jane Jane - Aesthetic cocktail bar down the street from our first apartment.

Dessert

Thomas Sweet- Where it all began. Classic hard-scoop American ice cream.
