Food Scene

We think this is hands-down the best restaurant in D.C. Unfortunately for us, we aren't the only ones. The line starts forming by 4:00pm. Luckily, you can put your name in - choose your time - and walk back to our place or go to a nearby bar for a drink.

Best sushi in D.C. - even the Japanese embassy takes their guests here. You'll probably need a reservation, as the place is small. Put yourself in the hands of the chef with their omakase menu, and whatever you do don't miss the fatty tuna.

Come for a flight of wine, or to enjoy a glass overlooking the waterfront. The food is good, but overpriced. The cocktails are also amazing.

Entertainment & Activities

If catching a game isn't on your agenda, it should be! On a budget? The box office opens 2.5 hours before every game and offers a selection of $5 tickets until they're sold out. Heads up that you can only purchase one per person.
