Washington, DC bonnes adresses

I’m back in Washington, DC for a week to move out of my apartment. If you’re ever visiting Washington, feel free to contact me for advice (although only for the next year or so, until my insider’s knowledge becomes completely stale…). Some of my favorite places in DC:

- The Spy Museum – One of the few museums you have to pay for, but worth it.

- Lauriol Plaza – Mexican restaurant. Especially good in early early spring, when you can sit on the heated outdoor patio.

- Bourbon in Glover Park – neighborhood hangout.

- Montsouris – Cute French restaurant with actual French staff and delicious country pate

- Teaism – Tea house with tasty bento boxes for lunch

- M St in Georgetown – For wandering, shopping and people watching.

- The Waterfront – not the best food, but amazing people watching on warm days. For maximum amusement, pay particular attention to the guys trying to lure girls onto their boats…

- Neyla – Mediterranean restaurant in Georgetown. Very dark, exotic atmosphere. Great for a late-night romantic dinner á deux.

- Eighteenth Street Lounge - late-night hangout, great music, in an old townhouse. Don't miss the live jazz on the 3rd floor.
