There is so much to see and do in the heart of Washington DC. Nearby the White House, Ford’s Theater, and many other landmarks are restaurants sure to make your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Old Ebbitt Grill<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most famous restaurants in Washington DC. Old Ebbitt Grill<\/em><\/strong> is a half mile from the White House. History has happened before this restaurant’s eyes. As you stop in, you will see the d\u00e9cor honoring the neighboring White House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pi Pizzeria<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Walking around Washington DC is exhausting. It is fun and it will give you goose bumps, but it will also wear you out. We visited Pi Pizzeria<\/em><\/strong> twice. On both days, we were needing a bite in between tours. The pizza and beer here became our favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pi Pizzeria<\/em><\/strong> was the prefect stop during a busy day of sightseeing. We scootered around the different monuments and were in desperate need of a beer and pizza. While you are in the neighborhood, make sure you check out the different monuments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab <\/em><\/strong>is a memorable restaurant for me. We visited as I just stepped off the airplane so I arrived with luggage. I can proudly say this is the first restaurant I ever visited that had a coat check. Um, we do not have that in California! I was star struck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hung out in the bar as the Friday night crowd began to fill in. I got major east coast vibes at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab <\/em><\/strong>as we sipped wine and people watched. We were seated at our table and we began to look around. We were sitting beside a congressman, and I am sure there may have been more we did not know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See why Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab <\/em> has 4.5 stars on YELP<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. I Ricchi<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This restaurants is decadent. Delivering top cuisine, you can sit near Dupont Circle with a glass of fine wine. I Ricchi<\/em><\/strong> is a rumored favorite restaurant of Hillary Clinton, and has a back door where she and other highly publicized politicians can sneak in and out. Of course, when I went to the bathroom in the back, I tried to peek around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Georgetown around the corner, there are several spots for a younger crowd and for late night bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Martin’s Tavern<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Martin’s Tavern<\/em><\/strong> quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in Washington DC. We were able to sit on the patio on a nice May day. After ordering a Limoncello Lemon Drop, we loved watching the bustle of Georgetown pass by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. 90 Second Pizza<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

90 Second Pizza <\/em><\/strong>was clutch. It was a Thursday evening during May. Graduation was in a few days and Georgetown was POPPING. We loved bouncing around to different bars but we ultimately needed a late night snack. When we saw the lights for 90 Second Pizza<\/em><\/strong>, we almost started running. It was fun buying a $10 pizza and only waiting a minute and a half for it to be finished. We ate our pizzas in their entirety and felt just fine in the morning. Thank you 90 Second Pizza<\/em><\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Top of the Gate<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Watergate Hotel has an incredible rooftop bar. The Top of the Gate <\/em><\/strong>was bustling the week of graduations. The tables were full and people were walking about. We loved the energy as we ordered drinks and looked over the Potomac River. With views of Rosslyn, Virginia and Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge the Top of the Gate<\/em><\/strong> is a must-see rooftop bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we were sitting at Top of the Gate<\/em><\/strong>, we began talking about The Watergate Hotel<\/em><\/strong> and the scandal that led to its infamy. We found The Scandal Room<\/em><\/strong>, Room 214 at The Watergate Hotel<\/em><\/strong>. A hotel employee saw us exploring and let us have a quick peek at the room. It was a step back into the 1970’s when President Nixon allowed the break-in at the National Democratic Convention right next door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Peacock Alley<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Waldorf Astoria<\/em><\/strong> just recently moved into the Old Post Office Tower<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Prior to this change, the historic building was home to Trump International Hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Waldorf Astoria<\/em><\/strong> opened, it kept the same breathtaking bar and restaurant. Dubbed Peacock Alley<\/em><\/strong>, the venue is a unique one. Though we visited while it was still Trump International, the aesthetic and d\u00e9cor has remained relatively the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacock Alley<\/em><\/strong> is nearby the National Mall where there is so much to see and do. We loved stopping in for a martini after visiting different Smithsonian museums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
