Got a Michelin Star but is has a laid back feel. The owners were co-workers at another great DC restaurant and started this to strike out on their own.

It is a Classic DC restaurant, but personally I think it is a great bar for a good cocktail and mature ambiance.

I'm obsessed with this place and go regularly. It has an upstairs area with classic pinball machines and video games and it really fun. Its is a husband/wife that own the place and very neighborhoody. The food is New Jersey beach fare. Mini Corn dogs and fried pickles are guilty pleasures.

Its a covered roof top so you can still enjoy on cloudy days or when the sun is too intense and you want a little shade. Eclectic crowd and good vibe.

Parks & Nature
This is the back entrance to the National Zoo. Knowing where it is makes a trip to the zoo entirely walk-able (a little bit of a long walk if you aren't use to walking a lot) and a great running loop if you are looking for a 3-4 mile loop. BONUS: The Zoo is FREE

The park is really right at the top of Belmont Road. It has two playground areas, basketball courts and lots of green space where people picnic and hangout on sunny days. If you have small kiddos, its perfect.
