"From Bei Bei the panda to Moke the gorilla to Redd the orangoutang-- there is no shortness of CUTE at the zoo! Admission is free, so come for a walk in the morning when the animals are most active."

"Best spot for oysters in DC! Go for happy hour where you can get great deals on oysters, bar snacks, and drinks. Great water views and short walk from the Canopy at The Wharf."

"A must-stop location before or after a Nats game, but it does get very crowded! Wide variety of beer styles and amazing food! I recommend the everything pretzel. Also a great place for brunch."

"Love this 24/7 "dive" (in all the best ways!) spot. You can sit at the counter or outside when it's nice. Can't go wrong with any of their breakfast meals-- perfect for the morning or late night eats!"

"Perfect blend of good food and good beer! Start off with a sour beer and warm pretzel bread. Then move on to a "selfie" and a heavier beer. They also have a production house in Brookland."

"Great, authentic Italian! They make their pasta in-house. I've come to this location for dinner and recommend the three pastas to try family style. They also have another location on New York Ave."
